Unusual contents

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

I just switched purses. Actually, my purse is half diaper bag, half purse. That way, I only have to carry one bag.
Anyway, there were a few strange things inside, and I don’t just mean my gun license.
I also had a pair of baby socks.
Three Matchbox police cars… and a helicopter.
And a baseball. Really.
Begs the question: [...]

Questions

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

I just posted these questions as my Facebook status:
Do you enjoy receiving family Christmas letters? Or do you find them annoying? What if they come with a photo?
I had certain plans for this year, but now I’m second guessing myself! Please help! Comment!!

Ever Wondered…?

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

Just in case you ever wondered, we’re here to help:
If your two-year-old daughter finds a container of baby powder and decides her baby doll needs the entire contents sprinkled on it while she’s in her brothers’ room, there IS an upside!
The room will no longer have that little-boy-sweaty-from-playing-outside smell to it.
For now, it’s powdery fresh… [...]

Icy

Thursday, January 15th, 2009

It’s really cold here.
The temps haven’t even reached 0 today. Not my idea of fun… But one good thing might come of it.
For some reason unbeknownst to me, I have been dying for icee/slushy drinks the last few weeks. I’m craving stuff that’s cold and icy. The idea of a lemonade slushee sounds amazing to [...]

Christmas Deconstructed

Wednesday, January 7th, 2009

I need an explanation, please.
Why is that my kids obeyed and left the ornaments alone when they were on the tree, but now that they’re taken down and in the box, they can’t resist the urge to play with them and break them?
Just curious.

Stocking Stuffers?

Monday, December 29th, 2008

Just curious: At about what age will my kids tire of receiving packages of new underwear in their stockings? Cause even with the oldest at age six, they still get giddy with excitement. How much longer can I abuse this privilege?

Just Curious: House Rules?

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

We recently bought a deck of Uno cards. My two oldest boys are at the stage where they love to play games, but aren’t quite old enough to play them independently.
Uno is a bit more tolerable than some games out there targeted at kids only. Right?
Here’s the issue. When it came time to play, Nate [...]

Just Curious: Crayon

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008

I know how to get crayon off of walls and out of clothing… Anyone out there know how to prevent a toddler from eating them??
Sadly, I’m serious.
Seems our oldest daughter has acquired a taste for their waxy flavor. Ugh.
Please leave helpful advice.

Slippery Serpent

Monday, September 8th, 2008

As part of our Bible subject in school today, the boys and I read the section of Genesis including the fall of Adam and Eve.
They know what sin is and have no problem understanding that part (I wonder why!), but they had one question they kept asking me over and over:
“Mommy, how did the Double* [...]

Extreme Ironing

Saturday, August 30th, 2008

Anyone else heard of the sport of extreme ironing?
It’s real. I’m not joking. Here’s their site.
Apparently, it’s catching on all over the world. It’s described as “the latest danger sport that combines the thrills of an extreme outdoor activity with the satisfaction of a well pressed shirt.”
You really need to follow the link. Their gallery [...]
