Mother’s Day Weekend

We had an extremely busy extended weekend. So, instead of boring you with my fantastic whimiscal writings, instead I will bore you with my fantastic whimsical pictures:

 

Picked up Madaghan Wednesday night on Long Island. She was at her grandmas house because Laurie was in Texas. Anyway, she was thrilled to be home:

 

The next day, while we waited for Laurie’s plan to land and for her to come home, Maddie past the time with her ATV:

 

 

That night, during bath time, Tommy voiced his opinion about Mommy not being home:

I explained to him that Mommy was on her way home from the airport and will arrive shortly. He felt better about things and had a drink:

 

Laurie came home and there was much rejoicing. Twice.  The next day we went and saw dreamy Johnny Depp:

 

 

All that Johnny Depp on screen makes one hungry. So we had some lunch:

 

On Saturday morning, Joe Russek from Third Generation Home Builders (and lives across the street) showed up for Operation Deck Build 2012:

While Joe was busy digging 4ft holes in our yard, we headed out to a tree store thanks to the gift certificate from our friends Doug and Shaun. We bought a tree:

 

Saturday night I watched Rangers Vs. Capitals in a game 7 playoff. Holy shit it was a good game. A bit blurry tho:

 

 

Tommy was routing for the Rangers too:

 

 

Mother’s day was a beautiful day. We tied Maddie’s sprinkler to the top of her playset. It is the orange thing in the picture:

 

The sprinkler was not enough. She begged us to go in the pool. So, we let her go in the pool thinking she would realize the water is freezing and would want to hop out. Nope she stayed in.

 

 


Jeep Trail Ride

On May 5th, we went on another Jeep ride with the Hudson Valley Jeep group. One of the guys was turning 40 (again) and he held a BBQ at his house. Luckily nearby there are some novice off roading trails.

Special thank you to Craig for having us all at his house for his birthday. I know my family and I had a wonderful time!

Here are some pics and some videos:

 


Keg Facts

New Logo

 

I researched how much beer I would need for about 30-50 guests because  I do not want to be the host that has a bar in his house and runs out of beer while the party is in full swing.

In performing my “research” I stumbled upon a few interesting facts about keg:

  • A Keg weighs 136 pounds
  • A keg holds 15 gallons of beer.
  • A keg has 25,810 calories.
  • A keg can serve 141 red cups of beer.

141 red cups of beer  is enough for 41 men to be over the legal limit in New York.

A similar quantity of beer in cans requires 6½ cases, or 165 cans of beer:

Kegs can serve about 141 red cups of beer at a cost of 62¢ each.

Do you accept WIC?


Pine Bush Alien Festival

For all you UFO enthusiasts my town is the UFO capitol of the NorthEast, or the world depending on whom you ask. We have the bumper stickers to prove it.

I took some pictures of the day we spent at the UFO festival:
