C. did not have school today (and, much to his delight, is also off on Monday), so here’s what we’ve been up to:
1. A trip to Starbucks. Okay, actually, it was a trip to the gas station and the church, but Starbucks is conveniently located along the way somewhere around there, so we zipped through [...]

A week or two ago, L. (2) started saying a new phrase:

It’s a typical Wednesday night at the Callapidder House. The kids are asleep, and Chad and I are reading our respective books in bed, our bedside lamps softly illuminating the room. The cat is sleeping on top of me. (At least, until I squirm into a new position and she leaps from the bed with [...]

A few weeks ago, I was sent a copy of The Rook, a suspense novel by Steven James, to read and review here on Callapidder Days. I was glad to receive this invitation, since I’d actually seen The Rook at Borders and had considered buying it. After all, suspense? Thrills? Mystery? I’m there.

We celebrated C.’s 10th birthday with a big party at our house over the weekend. Lots of fun (along with lots of pizza, lots of cake, and lots of ice cream) was had by all. Even 2-year-old L. was at his best — greeting our guests, running around the yard with cousins, stealing sharing ice cream [...]
