As a family, we are always saying/hearing/reading funny combos of words and we exclaim: “That would be a cool band name!!”  It’s kind of a running joke in our family.  Some of my favorites have been: Splatter Cat (I know, ew, right?) Taco Over-Load and Mental Mohawk. I have a new favorite:  Brass Knuckles for Christ I hosted […]
What do volcanoes and bologna have in common? Why, Grant, of course.
Scene: The dining room. Â My good friend Dave is visiting. He is Grant’s Godfather and in that role, he is subjected to endless stories, games and all around squirrely-ness. Â After one long winded story about the Lego ship he built, Grant said the ship crashed into a volcano. Dave: “Crashed into a volcano? Bummer. Â OK, […]
I’m going to start letting Grant pick out my shoes.
This post may contain Amazon or other affiliate links. Scene: Â I am working on the computer. Â Grant is in the next room watching TV. Â I cannot see him or the TV, but I can hear everything. Â I hear the word Shoedazzle, whatever that is. Â I assume that it’s like the Bedazzler, but specifically for shoes. […]
Evil, talking socks.
Scene: Getting ready for our annual camping trip and we’ve been charging the batteries for the walkie-talkies.  Grant had a dental check-up a few hours before and had chosen plastic vampire teeth from the dentist’s “goodie box” as a reward for being a good patient not squirming too much. I noticed a lone sock sitting on […]
The Atlanta TSA stole my son’s yo-yo.
So I just got back from The Haven Conference, which was fabulous and I’ll tell you all about it in the the next few days. Â There were lots of great sponsors there and one of them, Fish Foam, was giving out toy yo-yo’s along with samples of their product. Most women aren’t that into yo-yo’s, […]
What’s the secret code for getting out of homework…?
I am soooooo glad it’s the end of the school year! Â I am tired of fighting The Battle of the Homework. Going through Grant’s papers I found this: The assignment was to look up a word and write the definition. Â While it would no doubt have helped if he had spelled concert correctly, he appears […]
You just can’t make this stuff up. More of life with Grant.
Scene: Â Yesterday morning, Grant and I were about to walk out the door to head for school. Â We notice it is drizzling and a bit chilly. Me: “Grant, run and grab your jacket, it’s kind of cold.” Grant: “I’ll be OK Mom.” Me: “It’s wet. Grab your jacket.” Grant: “I can’t….” Me: “What do you […]
Bird Watching
I love it when my kids take an interest in nature. This month, Grant has decided that he is interested in birds. I took all of these shots stealth-like, through the window. Â That which you study, you also change… so I didn’t want him to see me. He is so patient, sitting there with his […]
Lady killer.
Scene: Dinner time. Â We are all gathered around the table and Conner’s phone keeps buzzing in the next room. Â He must have gotten 15 text notifications during dinner. Â (Note: Phones are not allowed at the table… it was in another room and I could hear it.) Â About a half an hour later there was another […]
Field Trip: The Orange County Swap Meet
Do you have a swap meet near you? Â The Orange County Swap Meet is near us and we forget how much fun it is to go there, so a few weeks ago that’s how we decided to spend a Saturday morning. I decided to take my camera so that I could blog about our little […]
