Not my idea…

There are times Holly wonders why I let Sam or Evan do certain things. This was not one of them. This was all Holly.

It was a better idea in my head…

The idea was simple… get a snack for the boys, keep the boys happy on the drive, and then drive to the Cities to get some errands done. Well somewhere in that plan this happens.

The way to start a day…

We saw a rainbow this morning and what was Sam’s first thought on seeing it?

“Dad, look. The rainbow, it’s like a giant force field over the earth!”

Yes Sam, yes it does.

Pics from the wedding…

I probably took over a hundred pictures at Nancy and Bill’s wedding reception on Saturday. Check out the ones that survived the cutting floor at Flickr – Wedding Photo Set.

Another first…

Holly used the ‘Do you want me to get your Dad’ threat for the first time tonight after Sam got in trouble.

We had a little accident…

Sam got a chance to go see his new school tonight and do it on his bike. That’s where things went south. You see his school is a two story building and there is a bit of a hill to go from the front entrance (upstairs) to the lower entrance (downstairs) where his class will be. Now to get to the lower entrance, he needed to take a sharp turn and then down a hill. That turn was a little trickier than he thought. The result…

Total injury count: fat upper lip, fat lower lip, swollen nose, and a scrape to the forehead. Not bad for a bike injury.

One last thing…

Happy Friday the 13th.

Meteor shower update…

No pics or drama from seeing the Perseid meteor shower last night with Sam because we didn’t see the meteor shower last night. Storms blew in just about 1am and stuck around until about 4am.

How do I know we had storms at those times? Because at 1am is when Lucy started to freak out and it was about 4am when I was able to get back to sleep after checking the radar at 3am. I’m guessing there may be a quick nap in store for me this evening before I go out to capture some final pics for the Mankato calendar contest.

Getting ready for the Perseid Meteor shower…

Tonight, or should I say tomorrow morning, is going to be a big day for Sam and I. Sam asked at dinner tonight if he could get up and see the Perseid meteror shower tomorrow morning with me. I said sure, but with the caveat that I would check the weather to make sure there were no clouds. If I saw no clouds then I would wake him up too.

We then proceeded to spend 20-30 minutes planning all the things we would need to bring with. The list, in his order of importance, is:

Goldfish crackers
A juice box
His lawn chair
Bug spray
My camera
Then me

Obviously he believes he’ll be able to go see them, with or with out me, all the while enjoying a really nice snack. Let’s hope the weather cooperates and that I’ll have some nice shots to share tomorrow.

Happy Birthday Jennifer!
