Yesterday, Brady had one of those days. He was irritable, moody, grumpy, sleepy and all those other dwarfs. He fought with his brothers, got into things, took things apart, did things without asking, and generally disobeyed.
We’d gone through all our normal disciplinary paths and were going a second round when my Mom called. I talked [...]

I’ve written before about how my kids love the old Superman cartoons on DVD. The really old, grainy, difficult to understand ones. Yeah, those.
My little Connor — now two — loves to put on his Superman pjs, stand on the arm of the couch (yeah, yeah… safety first) and jump onto the couch while yelling [...]

For as long as Andy has been talking, I have been brainwashing my children. OK, not really, but I have — all in fun — taught them a couple of key phrases that helps keep things upbeat and silly around this house.
Andy didn’t really start putting sentences together until after his second birthday (Connor has [...]

I’ll admit that sometimes my ideas for Works For Me Wednesday tips are a bit, shall we say, “fluffy.” But not this week. This is a good one.
When our third son was on heavy antibiotics for an extreme ear infection, he got a terrible, awful yeast-based diaper rash. It was really bad. Very, very bad. [...]

Because the kids are now all in one (big) bedroom, I overheard this on the baby monitor last night:
Brady: “COOL! Andy, if you color on your skin… and then spit on it, it erases and you’re white again!”
That boy is brilliant.

… in perfect harmony.
I would. (I’d have to start with myself, though.)
Anyone see this article by the Associated Press about a rivalry turned physical between Coke & Pepsi? I’ve written before about how my Dad works for Coca-Cola. This article is pathetic though. In all of Dad’s 35 plus years at Coke, he’s never punched [...]

About 2:20 this morning, I woke up for two reasons. The first involved a whole slew of firetrucks racing down the nearby main street. (I’m not sure waht was going on, but I can only guess it was a fire on I-65.)
The second reason was my handsome husband, talking in his sleep. Again. I have [...]

Evan has developed a love for belts. I know, I know… she’s not even nine months old! But she doesn’t wear the belts – she loves chewing on them!
I’ve caught her chewing on two different belts in the last hour. One was a nylon mesh military-style belt Nate wears under his duty belt to work. The [...]

Connor’s vocabulary grows every day. He has some very interesting things to say — if you speak his language. One of his current favorites is to let out a little gasp and then to ask, “What was dat noise?!” It sounds cute, but he’s very persistant with the interrogation until you give him a [...]

Just a quick update. Andy had his second post-operative visit with his doctor last night and he got all of his “tubes” and such removed and now just gets to finish healing. YIPPEE! He was promised milkshakes when everything “came out,” so we got some and celebrated. It’s a blessing to know he’s on the [...]
