July 10, 2008? Not a good day for little boys. Or bees.

May 7, 2009 9 Comments

These are two back to back posts, originally published on July 10, 2008…. within about 1 hour of each other. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So this bee walks into a bar and orders a baking soda bath, with a chaser of baking soda paste… You’re out playing in the yard (pretending to be a dog, of course) and […]

Besides the fact that there isn’t enough bleach in the world to fix this….

I have a personal preference regarding going barefoot.  I’m not a fan. My feet always feel gross when I go barefoot. I know there are others who feel differently. My husband, for example, who seems to think that the children’s feet will be better off (orthopaedically speaking) if they go barefoot more often. I do […]

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 […]

Can a kid get expelled from Sunday School?

April 27, 2009 16 Comments

We are shopping for a new church. The one that we had been going to is in our old neighborhood (no longer very convenient to get to) and I wanted the guys to make friends and to get involved in a church where they would actually see those kids during the week… at school, around […]

They’re heeeeeere.

Have you ever cleaned a room and then in a matter of seconds it was a total mess again? Of course you have. Especially if you have kids. Or poltergeists. I feel like the mom in the movie who is constantly asking her kids to push in their chairs when they leave the table. Have […]

Oh look… it’s Not Me.

Really? Why?

April 20, 2009 6 Comments

Grant: a) disapproves of the current furniture arrangement. b) is really cold and opted for couch cushions instead of a blanket. c) can’t leave a tidy room, well… tidy. d) There is no rhyme or reason to the things Grant does. You know the answer.

My favorite exchange of the day. (So far.)

April 3, 2009 1 Comment

Grant: “Rocky (the cat) keeps running away from me.” Mom: “Stop chasing him with the ukulele.” Grant: “But he likes music.”

Grant is on an invisibility kick. It’s getting really old, really fast. In the kitchen:Grant: “Mom, can I have a cookie please?”Mom: “Not until after lunch.”Grant: “I ate an invisible lunch, but I want a real cookie.” At baseball practice:Coach: “Grant, pay attention! It’s your turn up at bat.”Grant: “I’m going to use my invisible […]

Baseball pop quiz.

March 10, 2009 Leave a Comment

Grant had another baseball game on Saturday. It was very exciting. I offer you the highlights, in multi-choice form… A coach drew a circle in the dirt to show Grant where his position was in the infield, in the hopes that he would stay somewhere near it. Did Grant….a) completely ignore what the coach said […]
