Historic Whistle
I came across a little plastic piece of history–a Cap’n Crunch whistle, that famously blows a perfect 2600Hz when the top hole is covered. Our kids will never get to make a free phone call this way, but a lot of folks did, when analog phone switches were in use. 🙂 ...

The kids got a new electric toothbrush! It’s a Sonicare for Kids. Hopefully they will like it, I think our Sonicare helps us keep our teeth healthy. We upgraded our brush as well. I messed up when I bought our second one a few years ago, and got a cheap model that didn’t have the four-quadrant timer to make sure you brush evenly. I made sure this time that our new one has it, as does the kids’ brush. We spent the day at home playing games like Cootie, and with the Lego...

Another big day for the Perkins family. It started out with Brandon taking Kendall to swimming lessons, which are coming along great!

We are so proud of everything he accomplished to learn to skate, learn to play, and to be out the gate as a high-quality goaltender! All...

Yeah! We’re off to the beach for Memorial Day weekend. Grandma Sue rode down with us, and on the way we all spotted a lot of hot air balloons drifting over Five County Stadium. No idea what was going on, but it was a fun surprise to see! When we arrived at the beach house, the kids just loved Grandma’s new rug! It’s so soft and fluffy, they were making snow angels in it. 😉 I really hope they don’t spill on...

Brian was quite pleased with the picture he made at speech today. Tiger liked it, too. Tonight well after her bedtime, around 10:30pm, I noticed the light on in Kendall’s room. I went in to investigate and caught her sitting in the chair just so. I asked what she was doing and with the cutest pouty face, she said “I’m reading so quietly. I couldn’t sleep, so I’m just reading so quietly.” She must have heard me tell Brian that if he really...
