Shawn, Andrew and I were hanging out at an indoor park this weekend called Adventure Peak. Being in Minnesota you GOTTA get those kids out of the house, especially in the winter time--they need to run around--be free--burn off that energy! But that's difficult to do when there's snow on the ground and Jack Frost is nippin' at your butt!

My son Andrew saw the cartoon movie Shrek for the first time last night. I missed just how much he enjoyed the movie because I was at work.
