For this Halloween, Nicholas wanted to be Spider-man and Wesley, Batman. When Wesley had his costume on, he would only answer to Batman and would say to us, “I not Wesley, I Batman”. So of course that night, I had to say “Batman… go brush your teeth” since they still had their costumes […]

“When hinges creak in doorless chambers and strange and frightening
sounds echo through the halls, whenever candlelights flicker where
the air is deathly still, that is the time when ghosts are present,

We saw the Blue Angels perform today and the show was spectacular as usual. The kids thought it was pretty cool to see the planes fly so close to the ground and of course they liked the difficult aerial maneuvers of the F/A-18 Hornets as well. Going to airshows always brings back nostalgic memories for […]
