a blessing in disguise

No, we didn’t ban you from the blog for a week. We had to upgrade our WordPress software and it didn’t go well. Ryan tried to fix it, and that just made it worse. Bummer of a curse, dude. For a few days we wallowed in self pity thinking all was lost, and mourned the loss of our blog. Fortunately we were able to get some expert help from Susan, Ryan’s high school friend, Oscarstew subscriber, and WordPress guru! She swooped in this afternoon, helped us grease the gears and now we’re full steam ahead! We also talked, made pizza, talked some more, laughed, made ice-cream and talked until there was nothing left to say. We can’t thank you enough Suz for fixing our blog, and entertaining us all day! Let’s do it again soon, minus the whole broken blog thing.

So what’d we do all week? We had plenty to do, even though most of us were sick. Drew turned 6, Rowan hit 9 months, Brinley…I mean “Fancy Nancy” attended an exquisite tea party down south, we enjoyed a few days off of school, parent teacher conferences, taxes (oh yes, we enjoyed doing our taxes this year…cha-CHING!), and let’s not forget the beautiful weather which allowed for much outdoor goodness. It was a nice break from the internet, and the old ball and chain, I mean blog. You’ll be reading about our adventures soon enough. But if you’re only gonna spend five dollars…

Wouldn’t you rather get more meat?! We scored 2 free sandwiches at Quizno’s during their Million Sub Giveaway. The kids? Well, we packed them a lunch and they weren’t too thrilled about it. Their life is so hard. mmmm…tasty!
