Attack of the Brain Slugs
January 22, 2011 – 9:36 am
When I asked for Eli to pose for this photo, I asked him to look sad. He replied that he wanted to be happy. We got kinda bogged down in the discussion after that when I was explaining to him that when the brain slug is on your head you are most definitely not happy.

The Snow of Twenty Eleven
January 10, 2011 – 5:40 pm
Snow day! You know what that means? It means we bundled the kids up in clothes until the excitement of going outside completely drained away.
We even joined in the non-fun!
Eventually we made it outside and discovered that we’d gotten approximately two feet of snow.
We had to make a snowman, which Liza spent some time peering [...]
It’s not all Science all the time around here.

Eli and Liza got straw glasses for Christmas. They have been nearly endless entertainment for everyone involved.
Liza poses like a rock star with an octopus I just finished crocheting for charity.

Here’s hoping that it won’t be too many more years until this is what we are all doing every Saturday morning.
Sneak Peek

We had studio portraits done today of the kids. This is one of the photos from the shoot.

The Grue We Knew
September 24, 2010 – 3:05 pm
It was about 8 pm on a Wednesday night when I realized we had a house guest. I saw a praying mantis clinging to the ceiling in the kitchen when I looked up from making Thursday’s lunches.
I pointed out the praying mantis to Stephen and we decided to let him stay inside until the [...]
Also I Soon Expect Him to Have Followers
September 21, 2010 – 12:04 pm
Last week Eli came home from school with a large plastic helicopter. “Where did you get that?” Misty asked him.
“Oh, I got one of my friends to trade it to me.”
She paused. “What did you trade him?”
“This two-page comic I made in school. It had two robots and they were fighting.”
We explained to him that, [...]
The Granade Family vs. the World
August 24, 2010 – 12:33 pm
You may remember that, a while back, Liza fell and had to have stitches in her lip.
A week later, I rolled my ankle while exercising. It swelled up like an angry pundit and I spent the weekend with it propped in the air. Even now I am wearing this crazy ankle brace which, if science [...]
This week in photos
July 23, 2010 – 2:16 pm
I always love my Tuesday nights with the crafty gals. This week was no exception. We has some serious crafting!
Eli created Super Mario characters to do battle on our kitchen table. Stephen caught the whole drama.
The end of the battle:
Liza showed her super remote skills:
Lastly, my finished crochet stash. It seems to grow larger by [...]
