1. Invest in an apple corer even if you despise the space it takes up in the drawer. Remember how Abe sliced his thumb cutting an apple. Alright already – I bought an apple corer… much to Jimmy and the kid’s delight. I’m not saying I’m going to use it… but the kids can. 2. […]
Last minute lunch date with dad @ Temple Square – Church Office Building Cafeteria. Kid’s love eating there. I got salad and a chocolate chip macaroon (for my treat.) Boys got hot dogs, soda, and frozen yogurt. It’s always fun to see Dad in the middle of the day. After lunch I took the kids […]
