…would choose a killer vegetable theme for his birthday.
I’m not going to fuss with trying to post pictures on the blog right now, but you should go here to take a look at the angry carrot cake. Also assorted killer vegetables, and a token picture of children enjoying the party. (Don’t miss the blood artistically [...]

Last night we celebrated the Night of the Burning Plum. Many of us were nursing coughs or colds so the night was punctuated with sniffles, coughs and the hunt for the tissue box. And still it was delightful.
I went over to the Lansberry house early to help set up. Theresa commented that this was exactly [...]

So, recently Seth has been interested in improvisational theater. He found a book at the Bradley library about how and why to do improv. This has made life rather entertaining around here. At least, I think it has. Perhaps someone should ask Crystal what she thinks.
The book Seth read even has some exercises to help [...]

I haven’t written a Dinner at Lansberry post in a while. I guess I just got kinda tired of writing them. When I plan to write a blog post about an event when I’m at the event it’s like I’m not really there. I’m just watching, taking notes in my head. Or I’m not taking [...]

Well, last night was dinner at the Lansberry house, but I wasn’t there. A friend of ours,John D, was in a car accident and though it wasn’t bad he hit his head and wasn’t feeling quite well. Right as we were sitting down to eat we got a phone call saying he needed someone to [...]

Last night was the second annual Night of the Burning Plum. It was somewhat less elaborate than last year, but just as enjoyable.
The evening was made a little trying by the fact that Justice had woken up from his nap badly and was just kinda mad at the world for the whole evening. It’s nice [...]

Yes, Virginia, the Lansberrys are crazy people. Just two days after a new baby is born into their home they have us over for dinner. I will grant you we brought a goodly chunk of the meal and one of James and Seth’s coworkers provided another bit and Theresa and Margary slept for most of [...]

 Last night before dinner Raquel inflicted upon me some choice Alan Sherman music in our never-ending quest to make sense to each other. I felt like I would have enjoyed more of the music much more if I actually knew the songs he was spoofing. It was funny, but I knew I was missing something. [...]

 Wednesday night dinner was not just any dinner at Lansberry’s. Wednesday night was an Upside-Down, Inside-Out and Backwards party. It was Raquel’s idea. The dining room was decorated with streamers around the floor, a bunch of balloons hanging down from the ceiling and all of the pictures were turned upside-down or sideways. There were [...]

 Raquel cooked beans for dinner on Wednesday night and we also had fruit stuff and fresh bread from Great Harvest. At the moment I can’t remember exactly what we talked about, but I do remember doing One good Thing. Most of the children’s One Good Thing involved some form of the Ben-Ezras came over. [...]
