Today’s Tale is in the Chronicle. Click Here to Read it! What’s not in the Chronicle article is that Rae would have found this whole situation absolutely hilarious. Terms for searchers: Rae, graveyard, acorns, cold, chilly
Read MoreHave you seen those razor scooters? They’re shiny metal with tiny plastic wheels that move incredibly smoothly. A few years back, they were ridiculously expensive. These days, you can find them for about $20 (here’s the manufacturer’s website). Each of our kids has one, and they absolutely love them. We even let them ride in […]
Read MoreThe argument regarding who is the best cooker has pretty much quieted down. Every once in a while, however, it rears its ugly head. Last Friday, while J was putting the final touches on dinner, I orchestrated the setting of the table. This is not quite as easy as it sounds. The two guys alternate between […]
Read MoreN (the three year old) sometimes has troubles with our dogs in the mornings. The dogs sleep in our bedroom, and when the little guy comes running to our room in the mornings (as you may remember), they charge out to meet him. The dogs are friendly, but clumsy, and I certainly sympathize with the little guy. […]
Read MoreI had a movie night with the kids the other night. Movie nights involve the kids and I sitting on the floor (or sometimes the couch) and eating dinner while watching a movie. On this particular movie night, I was feeling lazy. Instead of cooking, we ordered pizza. Unfortunately, my youngest was feeling obstinate. He […]
Read MoreThe other day at dinner, N (our three year old) was refusing to eat his dinner again. This time, thank goodness, his momma was dealing with it. She was taking the relaxed this-is-why-you-have-to-eat approach. Explaining how important food is, how it gives us energy… you know the drill. In fact, I’m willing to bet that if […]
Read MoreAs I may have mentioned before, I’ve had to get a little creative with my lullabies. Not having any experience with kids prior to my own, I didn’t know any of the traditional ones. I ended up stealing tunes from my own memory – things like “Let it Be” and the Spiderman theme song. They […]
Read MoreOne of the biggest battles I’m currently waging is the one to keep things out of the kids’ mouths. Both boys love to chew on things – fingers, shirts, dog toys… Okay, maybe not that last one, but it’s almost that bad. It’s driving me absolutely crazy. Yesterday, we went down to see Mr. Richard […]
Read MoreThe boys attend Sunday school during church each week. For the most part, Sunday school at their age is just doing crafts and listening to stories. They much prefer it to sitting in church. When I picked up N (our three year old) from Sunday School yesterday, he was carrying a puppet made out of […]
Read MoreThe other night was a rough one for the boys. It seemed like one or the other of them was waking us up every hour, scared by a nightmare. I have no idea why. We hadn’t watched any scary movies or read any scary books. There was no rain or thunder to scare them. It was […]
