Although I haven’t done any funny kid conversations or sayings lately, trust me it isn’t because they don’t happen on a daily basis. There are far too many times when we need to keep a straight face and deal with something calmly and seriously with them and simply have to leave the room to get [...]
There was a song we sang a lot growing up and the lines in this song ring so very true today, yet so little time is spent reflecting on their importance. Here’s the first verse: O be careful little eyes what you see O be careful little eyes what you see There’s a Father up [...]
I have always cut all my boys’ hair. I actually began cutting even hubby’s hair about 6 months after we got married. Salesman has always liked longer hair styles and likes to try to find ways out of getting his hair trimmed. He’s creative and tends to attempt persuasion and distraction to get out of [...]
Being a family of 8 with 1 (yes one) bathroom we definitely face a few challenges now and then. I really try to take advantage of any creative thoughts that come to me to make things work a little better for everyone concerned. It’s been challenging recently since we now have three of our sons [...]
Ok, to squelch all contemplation at the title of this post…no frogs were actually eaten. Now we can proceed with this week’s silly kid conversation. Monkey: *cough* *cough* “Mom, what made me cough like that?” Me: “um, I’m not sure hon” Monkey: “Oh yeah, that’s right I ate a frog” Me: “A frog?” Monkey: “yeah” [...]
As you can imagine, there’s a lot of interesting events, conversations and happenings in life with 6 boys. All of us have things we swear we’d never say to our children…and most of us have caught ourselves saying them anyway. But recently I have discovered that there are quite a few things I have said in [...]
The conversations with the Twinks never cease to amaze me. Waking up yesterday to Bugs insisting that everyone “Rise and Shine” as he turns on every light was mildly amusing. Followed on his heels by Monkey announcing, “I don’t get an awwowance, and I don’t have a job!” *big Monkey sigh* To which I replied, [...]
I have recently realized (though I have no idea why it took me so long) that my Twinkies talk non stop. They are just little chatterboxes. I could almost write a Dr. Seuss type book with their antics…something along the lines of “here, there and everywhere” would be involved because it doesn’t matter where we [...]
Welcome to A Frog In My Soup! My name is Shera and I am the mom behind the "Soup" or the "Frogs" whichever you happen to be reading about. My hubby and I have been married for 18 years. We have 6 sons that frequent these pages: CJ (16), Salesman (13), Tater (12), J-Man (8) & The TwinkyDinks (or Tweebs depending on their mood) - Bugs & Monkey (6 & 6). This blog is a little piece of my life, a large piece of my sanity and even a bit of my heart thrown in. There are days I laugh … Read more
