Structural Engineering 101
I spent this weekend at the cabin, alone with the 4 boys. Rich had too much work to do at the office, so he stayed home. I don’t like going without him, but I had to take a bunch of our camping gear back up there. Also, I wanted to see if there was any […]
Litter-Bugs, Lifeguards & Severed Heads.

His mother’s son…

We hurry past them on the way back from the creek. “Oh, poor chipmunks” as we quickly scoot Grant past the […]
I wanted you to use clean clothes!
The directions: Get dressed please. Two great ways to tell if your child fished yesterday’s clothes out of his laundry hamper: Pizza sauce and chocolate on the shoulder of the shirt, from where he wiped his mouth at dinner last night. Shorts are on inside out, and are so dirty you can see the dirt […]
Some people count sheep… some count dogs.
The directions: Get ready for bed. The result:
You shouldn’t neglect your gums.
And you shouldn’t leave dental floss where a 4 year old can find it.Perhaps he was fishing for sharks?
