Here it is.
The Culprit.
I knew there was something (other than that something) in there. I just can’t figure out why it didn’t float.

More Toilet Talk
April 30th, 2008 · 1 Comment · Dads, Family, Parenting
I think by now we all know that this family has a variety of bathroom “issues.”
Luke, one of my non-strikers, favors dinner time to do his business. Almost every night as we’re all sitting down, Luke makes his regularly scheduled announcement that he has to poop and runs off to do it.
Last night was [...]

Dan has gone off to try his hand at murdering some unsuspecting bird in cold blood. Please… don’t wish him luck. Wish me luck. Or the bird.
I guess I understand Dan’s need for the whole beer drinking, ball scratching hunting thing, but I am really NOT interested in seeing pictures of my [...]

Today on the way home from kindergarten Jack said to me,
“Mom? Do you know what my favorite letter is?”
(For some reason I just assumed it would be “J” for Jack. I mean, don’t you think that most kindergarteners’ favorite letter is the first letter of their name? Heck, I think that goes [...]

This entry is dedicated to my good friend Kristina, who not too long ago elected herself Bad Mom of the Year. Now, anyone that knows Kristina knows that there is NO WAY she would EVER be elected Bad Mom of the Year, much less the minute.
She did, however, ONE TIME (unless there are others [...]

There are so many things you can do with a home. Lots of new trends. When ever I get the chance (which is not often) I watch HGTV and TLC so I can keep up on what’s cool and what’s not, and learn about all of the different do-it-yourself things you can do [...]

It’s not what you think

Yesterday was Jack’s birthday. Six years old. Dan and I can’t get over it. It’s frightening how fast the last six years have gone.
Jack’s big birthday surprise was a giant railroad crossing bank. Every time you drop a coin into it, the lights flash and a train horn blows. It’s [...]

Recyle!
April 19th, 2008 · 2 Comments · Dads, Family, Parenting
Jack has been learning about recycling this week at school. We recycle at home, so he had a jump start on the concept, I think. He often helps Dan load up the recycling and take it over to the recycle center.
Yesterday, while I was trying to get ready for Girls’ Night Out (had [...]

They’re All Animals

Sam, for some reason, seems to enjoy Cheerio the most. (Yes. CheeriO - not CheeriOS. Cheerio is our yellow lab.) Maybe it’s because they see eye-to-eye. Maybe it’s because Sam’s not so busy yet with other things that the dog keeps him entertained.
Or, maybe it’s because he’s part dog himself.
Yesterday afternoon, [...]
