hilarious fun. (if you can’t see the video above click view) For the last couple of weeks Emmett and a friend have been working on a video for a class at school. Everyone in the family has given their little tidbits of advice while they were constructing their rap. At the same time we were [...]
Family Fun Night: Boat Ride
unexpected fun. Months ago we were invited to go on a boat ride across the lake to go to dinner. Of course, my kids were ecstatic. They couldn’t think of a more excited transport to go eat. It was only about a two hour trip but it made our day and it was such a [...]
Family Fun Night: How to say Thank you in 10 Languages
travel at home… It’s our family’s dream to one day travel together out of the country. There are six of us so that’s a big goal expense-wise especially for the kind of trip we’d like to make. In the meantime, we don’t have to just sit around and wait for the day when we board [...]

Our backyard is at the edge of green space, woods that no one is allowed to build on, and it’s [...]

Family Fun Night: Car Wash
it’s not Friday… It’s Monday at the Car Wash… in our front driveway. That can be super fun. Grab some buckets, some Dawn, and some old cloth towels. Just add water. People will get wet. There may be some squealing. Most likely the car will get the least amount of water. With this 60 degree [...]
