He thought of the hat himself

Who wouldn't want pajamas like that?

Halloween costumes!

Super Joel and a ghost!

High-end supermarket hot dog taste test

Pseudo experiment. Hotdog taste test.  Oscar Meyer all beef vs Hebrew national vs Nathans.  Anne and I as judges.

Nathan's was the winner, perhaps because it was the most sausage-like of the three.  Nathans' were far juicier and more flavorful than the other two brands.  Oscar Meyer and Hebrew National were close to a tie but we liked the Oscar Meyer more in comparison but agreed that it had some off flavors that the Hebrew Nationals didn't.  I feel bad saying it, but we liked them in their order of saltiness (i.e., Nathans had more salt than Oscar Meyer which had more salt than Hebrew National.

We also had some Kroger "value" dogs that tasted like sawdust.

I hope this helps you purchase high-end hotdogs better than you would have otherwise.

Awesome day with kids

Joel jacked up the Corolla then drew the planets in order (including asteroid belt which looked like a pants belt at first).  Then we were all traced many times on the ground with chalk.  The sunshine was great.

Wonderful Sunday morning

The kids are playing pumpkin patch.  The patch was moving to South America via wagon.  Wow, they love this game!

Joel and the remote control boat

This is all Joel has thought about since he found it in the garage 3 days ago.  What a smile now that he has it on the pond!
