The McFadden Family Blog. Raising two munchkins in Atlanta. Monday, April 16, 2012. We had planned to hike this afternoon with our friends, but the sky threatened thunderstorms. So we made lemonade out of lemons and camped inside! The sleeping lasted about 5 minutes. They're currently trying to "shoot some deers for dinner" with Dex's ray gun.

The McFadden Family Blog: September 2014
http://chrisandjennymcfadden.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
The McFadden Family Blog. Raising two munchkins in Atlanta. Saturday, September 13, 2014. I'm reviving the old blog to write down my new favorite trail spaghetti recipe. The kids are finally old enough to really hit the trail, so we're switching into backpacking mode. Turns out buying those fancy ready made meals for a family of 4 is expensive, and my kids don't often like the flavors offered. So I decided to try my hand at making my own lightweight, nutritious trail food. On how to work with the bags.

The McFadden Family Blog. Raising two munchkins in Atlanta. Wednesday, July 20, 2011. Mission Accomplished: House Painted. Remember when the house looked like this? And then like this? Now it looks like this! I know you all probably can't tell from my lame photography, but we got the house painted! The existing paint was peeling, and it had been 8 years since it's last coat, which is about the life of an exterior paint job in New England. So we hired Richard Allen. And I realize, anyone who is still both...

The McFadden Family Blog. Raising two munchkins in Atlanta. Monday, January 23, 2012. I was so excited to discover on Amazon that you can now buy a hardcover complete set of all of Jill Barklem's series on Brambly Hedge for a mere $20. Do you know these stories? They have the best, intricate illustrations coupled with the sweetest "just enough adventure" stories for my preschoolers. I think early elementary aged children will love them too. They are wonderful for both boys and girls. The highlight this y...

The McFadden Family Blog. Raising two munchkins in Atlanta. Thursday, September 22, 2011. I'll have to change my tagline soon to "Raising two munchkins in Atlanta", because we're moving in 2 weeks! While still "far" from my family, we'll be a much more reasonable 8 hour drive vs. 16 hour drive. Boston, Cambridge, MIT, CTK Cambridge, thank you for so many great friends, memories and meals. It's been a great ride! Tuesday, September 6, 2011. They came this morning with a swat team of guys and a giant crane...

The McFadden Family Blog. Raising two munchkins in Atlanta. Friday, February 10, 2012. Frankie's 5th Birthday Party. My baby girl is turning 5! Her actual birthday is Sunday, but we had her "friends" party today at 2 Crafty Chicks. A local art studio that has art classes for kids and also hosts birthday parties. We had a blast! Since I didn't have to clean my house, I had time to make this cake (and for the record, my house is still rather messy, but that cake was way fun to make! Happy Birthday to you!

The McFadden Family Blog. Raising two munchkins in Atlanta. Tuesday, December 20, 2011. Is it Chrismas yet? But wow, we've had a time of it this year! We started Christmas off in Knoxville at Great Gammie's house. We went to the Festival of Trees with Mimi. The kids made ornaments, got their faces painted, and rode a carousel, all to benefit the local Children's hospital. There was a pretty impressive gingerbread house contest there too. This was my favorite:. And Dex replied enthusiastically, "A present!
