New Look & Name; Nice Cones; Digging Yourself Into a Hole

New Look & Name

I have decided to go with Don't Try This at Home. Thank you to every single one of you for helping me with this decision. I'm very happy with how things have turned out. Now I just have to go back and change all my links on webrings and everything else. Doesn't that sound like SOOOOOO much FUN?

Nice Cones

My son's math homework tonight called for him to find three real-life instances of geometric shapes. For the most part it wasn't too bad. When we got to cones, though, I was madly looking around trying find something, anything. He and I finally came up with these three things: icing tips, a vase, and (guess who found this one?) martini glasses. Do you think his teacher is going to call me? And what on earth will I say if she does?

Digging Yourself Into a Hole

Finally, a friend sent me this link today and I thought you and your kiddos may find it interesting. Please let me know if you land anywhere besides the Indian Ocean. That seems to be the only place I can dig to. Check it out: http://www.digholes.com

At 6:21 AM, Heth said...: I have to admit, when you said nice cones my mind went straight to the gutter and I was thinking what Barb was thinking: Madonna and her dangerously pointy "you know whats".

The new look is great and I love the name. Congrats!

At 10:34 AM, Chilihead2 said...: No, Joe, I didn't pen the graphic. I could never do something that great. Thanks for the title, though. I'm really happy with the whole thing.
