Of God And Drumsticks

Sometimes, I hate that all the good local pre-Ks are Church based. I’m as religious as the next guy, but in a religious school, it’s way too easy for the teachers to invoke God when they can’t handle things. It drives me crazy. In fact, I’ve told both my kids that if anyone ever tells […]

Reality Break

Both the kids have been spending a lot of time playing pretend lately. Everything they sit on immediately turns into a train or a boat or a rocket ship. Once we even had a flying house boat with a seven story hotel on it. The other night, however, things took a slightly different turn. The […]

Trouble Calls

We have in our kitchen a little plastic kid’s table. We picked it up at a garage sale years ago, and the kids love using it. In fact, whenever we’re not eating as a family, that’s where they prefer to eat. This morning they were eating breakfast there while I cleaned up in the kitchen. […]
