A volcano in town

We live near a couple power plants where we get our electricity from. They have big stacks that look similar to this. They release steam but it looks just like clouds. When I was little my Mom said I called them cloud makers.



Today as we were driving by the plant Phoebe was looking out the window and was looking at the shorter, rounder stack and said "Look at that volcano putting out all those clouds".

Who's that girl?

I was looking through our wedding pictures this evening and scanning some photos to maybe make a photobook from Snapfish for Danny for our 14th anniversary in a few weeks. Phoebe saw a picture of me feeding Danny cake and she said "What is that girl doing to Daddy?". (You can tell this was 14 years ago by Danny's big glasses. LOL The pictures are full of big hair and big glasses and groovy clothes.) I guess that girl doesn't look much like her Mommy. ;)

Darn rats

We had been having trouble with gnats in our kitchen. Very pesky. I googled a way to get rid of them. Many sites said to put apple cider vinegar in a jar and poke small holes in the lid. We made a couple gnat traps out of old baby food jars. Sure enough, it got rid of the gnats. The kids found it fascinating. When we first sat out the jars, Phoebe asked me what they were. I explained to her about the gnats. She thought about it, made a face, and said "Darn rats!".
