This weekend really I had one big goal… bring Arin to finally see Thomas the Tank Engine *in person* down at the Edaville Railway. Last weekend it rained, so that was out, so bright and (sort of) early Friday we got in the car and headed down. Mom even left work so she could come with us and enjoy the fun of riding on a real life Thomas. Sadly, things did not go as planned. Instead of taking 495 which I had intended, we took Julie’s advice to go 95-93-24 which was disgustingly congested the ENTIRE way. The trip was…

These were taken a while ago at the sledding hill playground in South Nashua… the one near Lilac Blossom (to which we went for dinner tonight, but alas it was raining AGAIN so no playground time for Bobo). It’s just about a minute away from our old apartment in Royal Crest, and I didn’t even realize there was one there until Mom mentioned it. Bobo had a great time! There was enough stuff kids his size (under 2) that he could run around and do things and not get into too much trouble… but of course then he wanted to…

Arin loves books… he loves to read them on his own, flipping through and looking at all the pictures and pointing out what’s what… and even more he loves being read to. He can’t get enough of his books, and has been this way ever since he was a teeny tot. Here we are in our pajamas reading the Little Critter Collection book… we also have a bunch of these single books in paperback, which were mine when I was little. I found a lot of my old books, though there are still many more that I’m searching for. One…

We were at the Indian store the other day to buy some masala spice mixes for my cooking. Bobo came in and was not having a good time, even though I was! Go figure. So in order to distract him while I was weighing the pros and cons of cumin and ginger to ground mango powder and chili, my mom grabbed a bunch of little cookie packets which were on special. One packet she grabbed was… CARDAMOM flavored. If you’ve ever tasted cardamom… well, I wouldn’t say exactly that it belongs in a cookie (or anything, imho), but that’s great…

So as I was pouring the last of our farm-fresh ridiculously expensive glass-bottled heavy cream (which we got while strawberry picking) into my hot cocoa, I once again pondered the various types of cream and dairy products. I could never get a straight answer as to what the difference between heavy cream and whipping cream was. I tried to look it up before and things were still unclear, and finally tonight, wikipedia cleared it up for me! Hurrah! So here in the US, this is the differences between creams: Half and Half (10.5–18% fat) Light, coffee, or table cream (18–30%…

Eww! Bobosaurus Vs. the Blue Goo from Beyond (sounds like one of those Godzilla sequels)… It’s actually just blue Go-Gurt gone awry… Bobo likes these things but you don’t get as much as you do in a yogurt cup, and I have to sit there and constantly squeeze it up for him… what a pain!

Bobo and I were dancing the other day, right before we went out somewhere and Bobo loved it! He thought dancing for the camera was the best thing ever… but most of the shots came out blurry and just deleted them in the camera… not realizing that I deleted all but one of the Bobo! So here is mostly me (following Miz Booshay’s rules of getting in the picture more often)! 🙂

Take the Quiz here! Before I started this blog I would always see fun little quizzes and memes that would go around everyone else’s blogs, and wanted to join in. Now that I am actually posting on my blog, no one I know has posted any!! But, I found this one on a site I came across and decided to do it. Especially since I haven’t been posting lately. We’ve been busy and the rain has just sucked the life out of me… three weeks now of ucky rainy days… and I LIKE rainy days. It’s just too much, we…
