Reflections

By Leslie Parks - Tuesday, April 26, 2011

Choose your risk

By Leslie Parks - Monday, April 25, 2011
The title of the post was taken from David DuChemin's blog.  Maybe it should be titled, boys and wagons do not mix.  However I thought the first was appropriate to this situation.  What possesses a younger brother to listen to an older brother?  Why does it sound like a good idea for a younger brother to get into a wagon to "surf" when it doesn't sound like...

April Precipitation

By Leslie Parks - Sunday, April 17, 2011
Yes, it's true, we have snow the other day.  It rained hard all night and around 6 in the morning it started snowing.  We had large beautiful fluffy white flakes.  Some were larger than a half dollar.  Within twenty minutes the ground was snowing by 7:00 it had stopped snowing but rained a little.  Last weekend they cancelled soccer games because the pitches were so covered...

Flying High

By Leslie Parks - Tuesday, April 12, 2011
One of the greatest joys our kids have is jumping on the trampoline with their dad.  "Jump with us" they plead when it is not raining.  Somehow their dad can do things that I as a mother wouldn't even think of or feel in control when doing it.  I didn't grow up with a trampoline so I still feel like I have a...

Somehow March has slipped away from me.  I don't quite know how it happened but it did.  It's soccer season again and I might blink and have April and May slip past too.  Who am I kidding?  It's always soccer season and we are always busy.  There was this one afternoon that I had totally free.  It was just Job and I so...

Lego Robotics

By Leslie Parks - Friday, April 01, 2011
So MP3 decided to start a Friday Club to use the Lego Mindstorm NXT brick.  It's free and anyone can come.  There is a group of 10 year old boys that attend.  We've only really had two meetings.  One informational meeting and one actual build a robot meeting.  I decided only to take Job because it is up his alley.  He loves Legos,...
