A Homeschool Sleepover

It’s always interesting to see what kind of things homeschool kids come up with when they’re playing.

We had a couple of our homeschool friends over the other day to spend the night. We had a movie for them to watch, but they started playing and never looked back.

What they created was an intricate fort. Here are some pictures.

The Big Race

On Sunday October 1st, I suited up for the 25th annual Twin Cities Marathon. I got to run from Minneapolis to St. Paul and not as the crow flies.

Here’s me putting on my game face before the race
