Highlights from Ps & Q

Monday was quite a Monday. Along with my being sluggish and trying to find some momentum back to get some work done and help shepherd the kids on their way to their days, Erin and I both faced the kind of administrative struggles that one might expect to find in a...

This will be a pretty brief post, since Sunday was a delightfully uneventful day. The kids had a sleepover at their grandparents' place the night before, so Erin, Asta and I got to have a rare morning of sleeping in.NOTE: At our age, with little kids, "sleeping in"...

Saturday, we got up and got to work on a few home projects we had in mind for a while. One was to finally add a row of shelves to the top of the bookcases we put in my office several weeks back. We had been waiting for the shelf extenders to come off of back order...

On Friday, we all worked really hard in the morning so we could take a little afternoon break to go make our annual pumpkin patch visit.There is a pumpkin farm near us that has lots of fun fall activities, and has been part of our October tradition for several years....

On Monday, it was back to work and school, and Erin and I had a Zoom call scheduled with the school district to discuss Henry's eventural entry into Pre-K.As I wrote in previous posts, we did have Henry in part-time preschool, which was doing well for him socially,...

Sunday morning, we were all feeling pretty tired and lazy after our hike the previous day. While I was making breakfast, Henry came in with the decorative skull covering his face, and after I pretended to be afraid, he lowered it and said, "Don't worry. It's...

On Saturday, we decided to load up the kids and make a trip up to the mountains to take a hike. We'd read about a few good trails near Breckinridge and decided to check out one called the B&B to Reiling Dredge to Minnie Mine. It's an intermediate level trail that...
