Noses and Invasions

Twinkies

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 [...]

Angry Birds Space and a 6 Year Old Inventor

Angry Birds take over the Space Needle in Seattle, WA

One of the first things I heard today as I was still in that not-totally-conscious-of-the-world-around-me state was an interesting conversation floating across the house from the room several of our boys share. This Is the Puller3000!!!!!! You just pull it here and the door comes toward you. (Monkey says in a big booming announcer voice) Immediately [...]

I Ate A Frog – Funny Kids

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.

Froggy Family Update

Well, the understatement of the century would be for me to say “this has been an interesting week” LOL!

Froggy Family Update

Wow, with Baby Fest amidst all the usual craziness around here, it almost felt like my blog belonged to someone else. Not in a bad way, but as I’m sure you all noticed, it definitely WASN’T business as usual! I thought I’d kick off being back to our regularly scheduled programming by updating all of [...]

My Punky Monkey

Our boys have been very healthy all fall and so far this winter.

Shera Speaks … About Friendship

For most people, friends come and go throughout life.

Daddy, Where's Your Rocketship?

A conversation with the twins can go just about anywhere, with absolutely no explanation or warning. Soon after Hubby got home last night he found a seat on the couch so that the Twinkies could proceed with their evening ritual of crawling all over him and either talking a mile a minute or asking a [...]
