What have we been up to?

Well, most of it has been during rain, but sun did peek through here and there. These are Dani's pics from the last while.

Dad rocks with creativity.  Britt loved it!

We watched the apple tree blossom.

We run pretty quick!

We've had some weird weather!

We watched a lot of soccer!

We read some good books!  This is the 3rd of the Fablehaven series.  Recommended!
Jazz playoff games are loud!

The tulips have come and gone.
Watched more soccer.  (Here come the summer games!)
Dad's a master chef when it comes to Barbeque!
As much bike riding as possible and yes Britti's elbows look double jointed.
Bike safety week at school.  Nica learned the hand signals.  Only 4 days left!
More weird weather!


Now we'll see what memorial day brings.
Saturday with Oma and Opa was a blast! (They spoil us.)

Burning question......

Have you ever had one of those? Well, my kids have a lot lately.

Question 1: Started out with a phone call, "Mom! There's a fire in the microwave!"

Dani's answer: Throw a cup of water on it (apparently the flame was the size of a candle)

Mom and Dad's answer: Unplug the microwave!


Question 2 (A result of question 1): You'll know it when you see the answer.

Mom and Dad's answer: Yes, twist ties have metal in them. You have to take them off BEFORE you use the microwave.


Question 3: How long do you cook bacon?

Dad's answer: (to prevent under cooking when doing small amounts) 1 minute per slice.


Question 4 (result of answer to question 3): Why is the bacon burnt and melted to the napkin? 10 minutes for 10 slices right?

Dad's answer: Start small


Question 5: Is this mug OK in the microwave?

Mom's Answer: It's now sparking so no! (There was decorative metal)

Pretty funny microwave experiences.
