Denver Mint Tour
We weren’t allowed to take any pictures inside and security was pretty strict. The front door is many inches of iron thick and so heavy! Our tour guide was awesome and kept the puns coming, including telling us that the Denver Mint was the only government agency that makes sense [cents]. LOL It was fun […]
Big Macintosh
Cate made “Big Macintosh” from My Little Pony out of Legos.
Broken Oven
I didn’t realize how much I relied on my oven until it stopped working. Tried baking a ham for 2.25 hours last night and it never got above room temperature. Sad. (Thankfully it was a pre-cooked one so we were able to carve it and warm it up in the microwave!) We were planning on […]
Legislature
At an event by the Interfaith Alliance – Learning more about the legislative process and how to get more involved in local politics. It was held at the State Capitol. And I rode the bus by myself for the first time since college almost 20 years ago! I was pretty nervous about it but very […]
18 Years
Celebrating 18 years of marriage today. Our server asked for our advice on staying married for so long and told us that she would require an answer before she would let us have our dessert. hehe. It’s hard to narrow everything down to just a few lines and any marriage will always be a work […]
Too Many Irons
While cooking dinner tonight, I had too many things going on at once (too many irons in the fire, so to speak) and I got distracted and accidentally burned four fingers (2 on each hand) and both thumbs. Greg even had to cut up my meat at dinner because I could barely hold my utensils […]
Sun Day
Today is a good day for a “sun day†break from school. Our afternoon appointment got pushed back a few hours, so we decided to take a little walk along the Bobolink Trail after lunch. The school to-do list will wait until Monday. Oh, and that dress Adrianna is wearing was mine in high school. […]
Fraud
Someone stole (or guessed?) our credit card number and tried to spend $500 at Walmart this morning in Aurora. Boo! But thankfully it was declined as a fraud alert was somehow triggered and the credit card company called me right away. I don’t see any other suspicious charges on our account, either. Yay! It wasn’t […]
Peeps
Bree and Cate share a room, which means that bedtime often finds them playing rather than going to sleep. Last night, Cate kept getting out of bed was being generally loud, so Greg went in and told her that she had one last chance to be quiet and stay in her bed; something along the […]
