BFG-9000

CP is seen here demonstrating some of the features of his new Nerf BFG-9000 while GP practices squinting. The BFG is pretty spectacular, but it is no match for the 20-shot full-auto nerf gun that GP got for his b-day. 

CP's Birdfeeder

CP built a birdfeeder today for a Cub Scout requirement. We mounted it on a post outside the kitchen window. Hopefully we'll have some birds soon. Today it has been in the 30's, windy and we had some snow flakes blowing in the wind - not a good day for attracting birds. 

A's B-day @ Roca Berry Farm

Totally perfect fall day: Sun and no wind. Ask CP about the haunted house...

Animal Life

Katrina guards the FAKE apples.

Fuzzy lap warmers. Maggie patiently waits her turn. 

Cub Scout Fossils

CP prepared his fossil collection for a presentation at the den meeting. He drew pictures of the animals that yielded the bones and explained the details to the den. 

1st Day of School

The boys are anxious to get on the bus and go to school.

Introduction

This blog is a log of our life in Nebraska. We moved here from Chicagoland about a year ago. So far we are enjoying life here, but there are some quirks. It's kinda like "Larry isn't like Garry..."

Here are some topics for future posts:

• Election year material for the Daily Show.
• Corn-fed spiders.
• Mud.
• What a minimum-maintenance road is.
• Road hunting.
• The evening news: "A dog was found in the Wal*Mart parking lot."
• Nice roads
• Good schools
