Homemade playdough...

A great way to clam little boys down is to throw some flour, salt, kool-aid package, oil, and water in a bowl.  Mix it all together, put some flour on the counter top and give each one a ball of dough.  Tell them to kneaded it and have fun.  After they are done explain to them that they just made homemade play dough.  The looks on their face is priceless to me.

OSU Vs. Michigan

When Michigan comes to Ohio State we love to welcome them with our buckeyes battle cry from the band.  This year is not different.

Luke and I are ready to cheer on the buckeyes.....

(Luke) "I just want a rice krispy treat"
(Mom) "We don't have any."

fishing camp...

One of my favorite memories I have of my Dad was when we built forts in the living room using blankets, chairs, books and tape.  He was a great fort builder.  One weekend mom and my brothers were gone at UN a school function.  Dad and I built a big fort in the living room.  We had dinner in the fort, watched TV, and had a camp out in the fort.  It was so much fun. 

Today the boys and I built a fort in the living room with chairs and blankets. While I was taking the pictures I felt like my dad was smiling at my fort along side of me.  He may have been the best fort builder but I'm pretty good.  However the boys don't call it a fort, they call it their fishing camp. 

I think of it as making memories.  Thanks Dad for one of my favorite childhood memories....I love and miss you.
