Open For Business

July 5, 2014 by dailygnome 1 Comment

Hello, summer. We laid out the welcome mat for bike riding, ice cream truck chasing and lemonade stands. Trying to work a lighter schedule for these three precious months to give the kids that 70s summer. Bring it.

The C+H Lemonade Stand opened up shop on a blazing hot afternoon this week when many neighbors were out of town. After 20 minutes and no customers Carson opted for an aggressive marketing strategy and went door to door announcing they were open for business. Offering two flavors: Berry and Regular. It worked. The Berry was a hit. When it ran dry they decided to hit the strawberry patch and rebrand the regular. Then the late afternoon rush hit. Sold out. Time to close up shop. Successful day.

They took their profits to the food carts where a new ice cream stand opened. Sweet reward.

Introducing the New Addition

April 17, 2014 by dailygnome 2 Comments

HEEEEEERE’S BOSLEY!!! I’m typically not a fan of ALL CAPS AND MULTIPLE EXCLAMATION POINTS!! in posts but that’s the only appropriate way to introduce our new bundle of energy.

BOZER. BOZER BOO. BOZERDOODLE. He plopped into our lives unexpectedly about a month back and BOY OH BOY OH BOY! He’s awesome. Loveable. So snugglishous. And oh! so! happy!

Keeps us on our toes. He likes to carry things around. And chew. We’ve had a few casualties. RIP Polly Pocket heads, Lego pieces, orphaned flip flops, and a gazillion stolen snacks. Our new mantra: Defend your food.

But he’s sweet as can be. My new coworker. The one that’s always interrupting and wanting you to join them on breaks.

And Madi’s new BFF. Up until the old girl tells him she NEEDS HER SPACE NOW. STOP FOLLOWING ME! (Boz doesn’t pick up on subtle hints).

Welcome to the fam, Bosley.

Family Photo Shoot

Considering during our last family photo shoot, Hadley took her very first step, we were years overdue for another. A thank you to the talented Sara Vandepas for capturing some sweet {and silly} family moments.
