Snow? Let it!

Today was a snow day! All about J’s snow day: At first, it started snowing. Next thing, after that we went out back and out front and we did a snowball fight. I would say four snow ball fights but I don’t remember if it was more. After that we went on a scooter ride. [...]

Sunday Walk

The weather yesterday was so gorgeous it would have been a shame to spend it indoors with chores. Everything had been wet for a few days. Not raining, mind you, just a constant, heavy mist that saturated the ground and made for lots of pretty dew and made us rejoice in the sunshine and 70s [...]

Fun Four-Day Weekend!

Yes, it was even in spite of the cold. Friday We took Abba to see the Bob Bullock Museum of Texas History. Verdict: FUN! Since we wanted to get gas, we opted to take the longer drive through down town on Congress Avenue. Congress: one of my favorite street views. Well, I can’t think of [...]

Hamilton Pool

Working at a desk on worksheets can get really boring, let’s be real. A friend had mentioned they went out to Hamilton Pool for a hike and swim and said it had the actual falls falling into the pool. Wow! It had been a wimpy falls the last time we visited so I thought that [...]

One Reason Why We Love Where We Live

It’s all about the outdoors. Saturday afternoon was too pretty to waste indoors so in spite of J’s congestion, we decided to get outside and enjoy ourselves with an easy walk. The puppy was beside herself with joy, you have no idea. Or maybe you do! Hubby and I got to take turns with the [...]

Inner Space Caverns

2009-06-18 Inner Space Caverns Originally uploaded by Phisch So, much delayed post, sorry! Three weeks ago, we had the blessing of a visit from my MIL. Unfortunately, hubby couldn’t take the days off while she was here (he made up for it the following week though). I honestly can’t remember what we did on the [...]

What I Want to Know

Here in Austin, we have several different kinds of cops and I have no idea who does what job: Police Officers Sherrifs State Troopers Constables then you can add to that list: Texas Rangers They all drive around and I’ve seen them (except for rangers) everywhere so there’s some overlap there. Just odd, is all.

Speed Update

Hmm. I wonder if giving it that title will make me feel obliged to actually make it brief. If brevity is the soul of wit, then my soul is an empty pit. You can quote me on that. Since the last post, this is what happened that is shareable: – J and NM played their [...]

Pumpkin Patch / Corn Maze

IMG_8433 Originally uploaded by Phisch More photos here. Last Friday, three other moms from church and I took our boys out to a pumpkin patch called Sweet Berry Farm near Marble Falls, TX, about an hour away. The boys all had a blast! Most of them were 4 yo and under so I told NM [...]

Brunch!

Well, let’s see. Pizza night hasn’t quite worked out. Last night, I placed the online order but the store never got it. No worries, we all got dinner at Zen instead. The kids had chicken teriyaki and rice, I had a Dashi bowl (salmon and veggies in ginger lime sauce over rice) and hubby had [...]
