Spending Saturday morning assembling the Lego Star Wars Clone Turbo Tank. Jack used the words “very mechanical” while discussing the process.

Our latest project is building a worm bin composter. We’ll have to order the worms online. Jack has decided to name them all George.

Jack’s newest chore is to help make dinner on Thursday nights. He gets to plan the menu and then I help him with the technical stuff, like remembering to wear an oven mitt.

This was also one that I had to edit digitally to get the blue filter off.

nature makes art

There were just somethings I couldn’t get the white balance on my camera to work on. I had to go into flickr and do some digital editing to get a nice clean close up of this piece of natural art. I guess I need to go back to woods and push more buttons on the camera.

Rock Cut-Foggy Winter Hike

I had some errands to run, and it was warm enough to be foggy, so I stopped at Rock Cut State Park (of course) to take in a mid-winter hike in the woods.  I took the camera with because I thought it was time I finally learned how to use the white balance.  Rock Cut is easily my favorite place in Rockford, especially this time of year when I have it all to myself.

Jack on his way out the door to catch the bus for school. I bought him this indestructible backpack after the first two broke in kindergarten. (Curse those cheap zippers). He’s probably stuck with it through college.

pre-hockey fill up 4/365



pre-hockey fill up 4/365, originally uploaded by laurasjoquist.

Jack started out his day at Jessica’s with the full breakfast spread before he played his first hockey game as a Squirt. They lost 3 to 1 and Jack got thrown in the penalty box for a (accidental) full body check. But hey, he played defense the whole game, and if you’re not in the penalty box, you’re not doing your job.
