Heart Boiled Eggs


We were planning to go to a pumpkin patch today to take pictures of the kids, but it didn’t happen. Instead, Grandma Sue came over and hung out with the youngins and they had a great time. Dar and Tara went grocery shopping in the afternoon so I decided to do this thing hard-boiled eggs that I saw on a website recently(I think it was Pintrist.com). So here;s what you do. Boil some eggs so that they are just done and then peel them right away. Be careful to not let them cool too much. get a piece of stiff cardboard and fold it into a “V” shape and cover it in Saran. Place a chop-stick on top and rubber-band it or tie it with something so that it’s pretty tight. Once everything it all tied up put it in the fridge. The egg will hold the shape you’re forming it to once it gets cold. Earlier in the day I asked Ginger if she wanted a hard-boiled egg and she scoffed and said no. Once she saw the heart boiled egg she wanted it and kept telling me how yummy it was. I made four of them and she chomped through the first one already so that leaves me three for her lunch this week. Later on I decided to take Ginger and the Boy out for a bike ride. I have one of those child trailers for my mountain bike and it has a seat belt configuration that allow for one or two kids. Problem was, Brigham didn’t have a helmet. Off to Target! We tried asking around to see if any of our friends with kids had  a boys helmet that was too small but we had no luck. We picked up the helmet and split. On the way home we spotted Dar’s car in the Winco parking-lot so we stopped and Ginger wrote her a note.Then we headed home only to realize that I left the helmet in the shopping cart. ARGH! luckily it was still there when we went back to get it. The woman in the car I parked next to thought it was pretty funny. Once we got home… again… I busted out the trainer, pumped up the tires, adjusted Brigham’s helmet and off we went.We rode down to Winco and saw through the store’s front window that Dar and Tara were checking out so we rode around the parking lot for a bit and caught them as they were coming out. They were surprised and immediately started ogling over how cute the kids were all squeezed into the trailer with their helmets on. We were only stopped for about a minute when we were all startled by a really loud bang, and Ginger’s side of the trailer slouching down. Yep, the tire popped! It’s lucky that I was able to load the kids and trailer into Dar’s car, otherwise I’m not sure what I would have done. I’ll have to replace the tube and I’ll be careful to not over inflate it next time.
