Keeping our sanity

Dear Laurie Berkner...I might owe you my next child or a million dollars or something. When our kids are screaming in the car, over tired, or just sick of being in the house, the Laurie Berkner Band comes to our rescue. The Rocketship Run CD was their first love, but now we've added other Laurie Berkner Band CDs to our collection and watch the videos on YouTube quite regularly.

Today around 5:30 was one of those times. Meltdown averted with Laurie on YouTube. And, yes, we have a computer hooked up to our television...we are one of those families. What can I say--Netflicks is a wonderful thing.

In other news, Liam now refuses to have any food than involves bread cut into pieces. From PB&J and toasted cheese to hamburgers and dinner rolls, don't even think about picking up a knife. And I'm pretty sure we're giving him a complex because Chris and I laugh at him eating throughout the entire meal. It's just so darn cute!

Not so fun in the snow

Since the sun was FINALLY shining for a bit today, we thought we'd bundle the boys up and take them out into the snow. Either the snow was too deep for a 1- and 2-year-old or we bundled them up a little too much. Regardless, they were not fans.

Layla, on the other hand, had tons of fun.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Lots of pennies

Ok, I try to just blog mostly about the boys. After all, it IS the point of the blog. BUT, just this once, I need to show you a project we did at work.

After I had Quinn, I traded in the long hours and long commute to work part-time at Real Art Design Group in downtown Dayton. And while I was sad to leave friends at Hobsons, this was possibly one of the best decisions I've made. Everyone at Real Art is insanely talented and creative; they never stop amazing me.

Anyway, last week we finished this project for the Chicago Auto Show. Made of pennies. Thousands of pennies. It was tons of fun and turned out even better than we expected.
