Easter Craft-a-Go Go!

Here are the assorted crafts Sophie and I have made over the last several days...

First, DumDum sucker flowers:




Then, a basket of bead birds and bunnies:


And, inside the egg, a baby:


Mama and Baby:



The freaks and geeks of the bead baby world were quickly whisked away to a commune of discarded playthings that was erected in the back yard:


Big Heads:


Babies with big hair!


And, finally, a card to round it all out :)


So... are we all impressed?

TWINS FIELD!!!

I have a big post that I am trying to put together to cover the whole of the spring... but in the meantime, I had to share with you the exciting pictures from the first game EVER played in the new Twins ballpark!

View from 394 heading downtown:


Coming out of the skyway from the parking garage:



We sat along the third base line, very near to the field. For this game- played by the Gophers- it was all general admission, so we got to explore things we will probably never be able to afford to see otherwise :)



The new, and totally awesome, screen:


A giant board with an old logo from the Twins sits in the outfield. If a Twin hits a home run these two, Minnie and Paul, will shake hands:


This is the view from the cheap seats:

Not too bad!

Everybody enjoyed the sunshine... for a moment :)


Zach and Joanna were there... it was their idea after all :)


And Kirby was there too!

Lil, Please Please Please Do This Next Year

Happy Friday!!!!!

Shredding!

During a brief break in my scads of work perused some of the videos recently posted by friends in Google Reader. I came upon this one in a series called Shreds. Watch then read some mo...


You see what these trick bastards did? They've taken out the actual music and replaced it with crap over dubs. Instruments are only featured when they appear on camera (with the exception of Clapton) and none of the replacement music is remotely good. It's a interesting little project.

Mama Said There'd Be Days Like This

I am plum tuckered out. I got three hours of sleep last night- probably my subconscious getting back at me for sleep most of Saturday whilst dealing with the flu- and I have zero attention span right now. 0. goose egg. nada. Which is, of course, why I am taking time from my woefully ignored "to do" list to post this picture:

This is exactly what I wish I could be doing right now. Alas, I'm an adult now; one v. far from home at that. So, I shall go forth an float through the rest of this day on my own. Thank goodness a night of canasta, horsty-overies and good friends await. 

It's Up

Gowan over here to hear me "sound so knowledgeable" according to one of my readers. Tee hee hee, boy do I have them fooled. But really, it was a true honor to be asked and hopefully it'll grow my audience a bit.

baby bear hurts her paw

Driven by her love of avocado and desire for dinner, Hannah decided to challenge the very large berry, also known as an alligator pear, to a duel... unfortunately, the end result is Avocado 1, HB 0.



HB, I hope your thumb is soon on the mend and you can even out the score!

Mama I'm Gonna Be On The Radio

I was just asked to give 10 minutes to HypeM Radio tomorrow!

I'm gonna be sharing the acts I'm excited to check out at SXSW in a few weeks and do a little push towards the new site. We spent the entire weekend moving the entire TWIAPC operation over to my own server so I control everything. Ry was incredibly patient with my pestering q's and beyond helpful with simply taking the reins when the minutiae began eating away at my brain. It's nice to get this opportunity to hopefully get a few more readers and give some of the lesser known acts at SXSW some love. Anyways, I'm not sure when the show will air but I'll be certain to post an update when I find out.  It's crazy to look back at where the blog was this time last year and how much it has changed my life. I'm really looking forward to seeing what SXSW is all about too.
