NOT a well-planned joke.

December 17, 2010 8 Comments

Just like all of you, I’ve been baking and decorating and shopping and baking and wrapping and baking and… lots of baking. And lots of boys asking if said baked goods were ready to eat yet. Earlier this afternoon I was super-exhausted-I-need-a-nap-or-I’m-gonna-fall-over kind of tired. Just a quick power-nap. (Dear Earplugs and Dark Room, I […]

And then milk came out of my nose….

Scene: the dining room table. Conner is joking about possible names of his future children. (Let’s hope waaaaaaaay in the future…..) Since their last name is Brown, one would need to be careful about choosing a first name. Conner: “I’m going to name my kid Hash.” Me: “Ugh! Your father just about drove me crazy, […]

Bono’s ego is no match for a 6 year old….

Scene: the dining room table. Conner is doing homework; Grant is coloring; I’m working on stuff for a holiday boutique on Saturday. U2 comes on the ipod playlist. Grant: “Is this the Beatles?” Conner: “No, it’s U2.” Grant: “Wait…. like the internet YouTube or what…?”

Conner the Terrible

November 17, 2009 35 Comments

Saturday was Conner’s 13th birthday. Today is Tuesday. So much for a timely birthday post. Devin & Conner’s dad and I were in the middle of a divorce when Conner was born. Great timing, right? With each pregnancy, I had pre-term labor issues and each baby was born about 3 weeks early. The evening of […]

Can I wash someone’s mouth out with laundry soap…?

October 22, 2009 21 Comments

So, I’m doing laundry (shocker.) As I am transferring a load from the washer into the dryer, I see Devin’s hoody sweatshirt has a dirty, blackish stain on the back, near the bottom hem. I asked him what happened. He says, “I don’t know, I must have sat in something…” Conner, who is listening to […]

Entrepreneurial spirit.

Scene: Conner’s bedroom. Grant is holding a stack of Conner’s books and some old magazines. Grant: “Conner, do you want these books? Can I have some?” Conner: “I want these ones, but you can have the rest. What are you going to do with all of those.” Grant: “Why, sell them of course.” (The “duh” […]

I’d fire him, but that’s what he wants.

The instructions: Conner, please go hang up your ski jacket. The result. Um, not exactly what I had in mind. I was thinking more along these lines: After yesterday’s lunch money, bike crashing, ripped shorts, “parallel to the park” debacle, I had been hoping the rip in the shorts was small and on a seam. […]

Handsome Hubby drew the short straw this morning.

Conner will not get out of bed in the morning.He has AC-DC’s Back In Black album in his CD alarm clock… Blaring.Nope. He’ll lay there, bleary eyed and listening, but he won’t get out of bed. He’s gotten up to “make his bed” (can you see my “air quotes” here?) but all he does is […]

Saint Conner of the Couch Cushions.

April 27, 2009 20 Comments

This weekend, Conner ratted Grant out because of his horrible behavior at Sunday School. After reading some of the comments about this post, I felt it necessary to illustrate just how bad Grant must have been acting in order for Conner to tell on him. Grant loves all of his brothers, but he has a […]
