Can’t believe it ... but our daughter is 10 YEARS OLD today. She has been such a blessing in our lives and this decade has flown by.
Happy birthday Ruby!

There are little moments of being a parent that stick with me. Today I walked by one of the kid’s rooms and spotted them reading books to each other. They sure can fight with each other - a lot - but there are moments like these that tell me how much they truly love being together.
And no, it certainly isn’t this perfect all the time. But I try to take in these moments so I can remember them during the moments they aren’t getting along. Maybe I’ll start showing them these pictures when they’ve had enough of each other. 😂😂 Do your kids ever surprise you with moments like these?

We visited the Pattison State Park in northern Wisconsin for the first time today. It was the kids’ first real hike - three miles and two waterfalls ... one of them the highest waterfall in the state!

It was great to be outside and in nature. I hope you are having a great weekend!

WHAT IS THE BEST CHEX MIX PIECE?

This was a hot debate on the @WGNMorningNews. My pick - the rye chip. As far as I know, it is unique to snack mixes like Chex Mix. Heck, it’s so popular Gardettos even makes a bag of ONLY rye chips from their snack mix! It’s one of those things I hated as a kid but got better as I aged. Now the rye chip is definitely king of the bag.
What are your thoughts???

Going to have to call him out on the unicorns and dinosaurs not being flatulent, though.

Taking my first crack at smoking whole chicken today. Nice thing about working from home ... I’m able to get the rub on in between my TV hits. I’ll let you know how this goes. I am absolutely obsessed with my smoker. Any tips would be appreciated!

This was a really cool moment - my son Oliver got to be the Friday Forecaster on @WGNMorningNews.
He was very excited to show off his weather graphics. I love that he got to see and feel what it’s like to do what I do every morning. That’s another one of the good things coming out of all of this, so many kids are learning more about what their parents do at work.
Thanks to everybody who watched and sent a nice comment. Now to work on this YouTube channel he wants to launch. 😂😂

The kids spent quite a bit of time building a fort

The kids spent quite a bit of time building a fort in the basement yesterday. I know I have many memories of doing this as a kid, it’s awesome.
What I’m most proud of is how they overcame some serious conflict to make this a reality. There was tension and straight up fighting about how the fort would be constructed and who had what job. It took about 10 minutes with a highly skilled arbitrator (ahem, me) to help them see each other’s strengths and realize that the fort would be better if they worked TOGETHER. And when it was all over, they would both enjoy it more, because they both contributed to it in meaningful ways. This has played out and it is great to see.
There is a lesson for all of us in the fort. We all have daily forts that we are working on. When we are willing to work with others and see the gifts that they bring to a situation, and are willing to compromise and be open to other suggestions, we can be led in exciting and more rewarding directions. We can’t do it all on our own.
Just some thoughts on another quarantine day! I hope you have a great one. Now back to e-school!
