The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition came out last week. The first man in the house to grab it out of the pile of mail? Grant. I think he prefers the back cover to the front cover though…

O creativity, creativity… wherefore art thou, creativity?

Grant spent the weekend at Gramma & Poppa’s house. In addition to serving waffles on demand, Gramma is cool because she likes boy things. Dinosaurs. Planes. Space shuttles. Science. (shut up shut up shut up. Yes. I am sexist. I think math and science are boy things. ew.) Anyhoo. Under the umbrella of science (both […]

Dipshitophobia.

I am not superstitious. I freely walk under ladders (although not over grates in the sidewalk), once owned a black cat and I would not think it lucky if a bird pooped on me. However, I do think the history and theory behind superstition is interesting, so when I saw an article promising facts about […]

Butterflies are beautiful, but don’t stand underneath them.

Grant has a bunch of plastic bugs. I don’t know where they came from (I know I didn’t buy them!) but they’re scattered all around in the toy bins. The only one he plays with at all is a butterfly. We’d like to think he’s pretending it’s Mothra, but probably not. The butterfly’s name was […]

First base! Second Base! Third base! Home! (No? OK, just spin around or pick dandelions or something…)

We signed Grant up for T-ball. His team is made up of 4 and 5 year-olds. The phrase it’s like herding cats absolutely applies here. Here are some of the things I heard myself saying to Grant yesterday: Stop spinning! Listen to your coach! There’s no crying in baseball! You don’t need any crackers right […]

No Scooby-Snacks for Conner.

Last night Conner informed me that the dogs had knocked over the dog food container and food was all over, and they ate it all. I got the distinct impression that we were now out of dog food. I called Rich and asked him to pick some more up on his way home. This morning, […]

Great Best Man Speech.

OK, I haven’t seen this before, and I usually don’t believe the “LMAO” claims when someone sends me something. I don’t know if I laughed my ass off, but my jeans are fitting a bit better after watching this. http://www.freakybestmanspeech.com/

I have to find my backpack! My brain was in it!

Last Friday, Devin brought home his school backpack, full of books and homework. For some reason, he left it near bags that were being packed into the car for a weekend at the cabin. Sunday evening, I had to remind him to make sure it got packed back into the car to come back from […]

Promoting good hygiene through ridicule.

We are remodeling the only bathroom at our cabin. Well, it’s more like we gutted it in early November, put the sub-floor, insulation and drywall in, and hooked up a toilet. (Which is temporary because the last people who had the cabin switched the hot and cold water pipes. Now when you sit on it, […]
