Today was the second annual Trike-a-thon at KNS. The kids were instructed to bring their decorated vehicle and helmet this afternoon. Rumor on the playground was that most parents barely remembered to bring bikes, today, much less break out the decorations. But, they turned out. At high noon, the kids took to the 10 foot […]

From Will, to all his ladies. (That would be ALL of you reading this): For the school card exchange, we made stamps the old fashioned way – with potatoes we bought at the farmer’s market. [eye roll] Will helped me stamp the construction paper, and then hot glue hearts in place. Delusional, I thought he […]
