During the week, D eats waffles that I have made and frozen for him. (I’m not getting up that early and making waffles. lol!) If for some reason there are no waffles ready, he’ll eat cereal, but he prefers the waffles. I always wonder if he’ll get tired of them, but he doesn’t. It’s just something that works for us. Most Saturday mornings, you will find D in the kitchen cooking breakfast. It’s not something that I ask him to do, and I certainly don’t expect it. Yet, that is what you’ll find him doing most weekends. He cooks up…

Munchkin & Math

Yesterday, after packing a picnic lunch, we hopped in the car and headed out for a couple of field trips. There really was no planning…

On Veterans Day, we try to do something to remember all of the Veterans who have fought so bravely for our country. This year, we didn’t have anything particular in mind. As we were driving to one of our planned field trip locations, we stumbled upon this memorial site. We decided to stop and look at all of the names on the walls.

There were those who are still serving, those that had…
