The Streak

Four years in a row we have gone to Time Out for Tots (see 2009, 2008, 2007). It was at last year's event, we found out that Ben likes ice cream. So, we had to get some this year. Now Bradley claims that he likes ice cream, but he didn't eat much of his chocolate sundae. Just after we got our ice cream, the fire alarm went off, so we got to have a picnic when it was 40 degrees outside. Ben didn't mind. This was the first year the boys did the pony rides.

When we were cleaning out the utility closet, Bradley spotted the keyboard that we never use. I hooked it up and it still works. Bradley enjoyed playing music. He even let Ben play too. As you may guess, it was music only a parent could love.

The size of the family has doubled since the last census. That means more roads for me all my fellow Illinoisians! Bradley helped me fill out the census. First, he counted the number of people in the house. Then he spelled our last name. When I started to write my first name, Bradley said "Daddy, you forgot the D".
