The boys have now been properly introduced to the joy of Legos. How fun!

We had inherited a gigantic tub of random Lego pieces about two years ago, and all they’ve been is a constant annoyance. No one built much of anything, because there was no kit to follow and the pieces ended up everywhere. UGH.

However, the boys got a Lego kit each for Hanukkah. Our eyes have been opened to the greatness of it!

The little guy lights a candle while everyone holds their breath.

Three doctor visits + three courses of antibiotics = $203.83. And that’s after our $500+ monthly insurance premium!

Surely I’m not the only one finds this completely outrageous!?

And Trader Joe’s makes it oh … so easy!

This arrived for Peter in today’s mail. No return address, and a note that says:

Seriously? I can’t believe that someone actually bothered to hand-address this bright yellow envelope, write a “personalized” note to stick on a flyer that’s supposed to look like it was torn from a newspaper, and post it to a complete stranger.

We saw loads of policemen with their guns pointed into the woods along I-95 near Woodbridge, VA, and came home to see this story.

We spent the night at Great Wolf Lodge in Williamsburg. A great time was had by all at this unbelievable indoor water park!

I took a super-quick glance outside this morning, and was reminded of the trees covered in cherry blossoms. Roll on, spring!

The first snow came early this year! I think it’s time to buy the boys some gloves!

Come again? What’s that you say, Mrs. Math Teacher of Sammy-the-SIX-year-old? I didn’t quite understand question number 4.

Or 1, 2, and 3, for that matter.
