The Supreme Truth

Last weekend, we stopped at a fast food place on the way to wherever we were going. They must have had the music on pretty loud in there, because we could hear it blaring out as we pulled up to the pickup window of the drive-through. “Stop in the name of love,before you brea-eak my […]

The Ghost

A few months back, we moved the kids into the same bedroom. It wasn’t really a tough decision. The room N had been in has terrible insulation. When it started getting cold and we discovered the problem, we moved him out of there as quickly as possible. Fitting the two beds into the same room was […]

This time it was all four of us, and we were letting the kids blow off some steam after a productive shopping trip. They both ran immediately to a giant plastic car that […]

A Mistake

Not too long ago, we were sitting at the kitchen table after dinner when the subject of mistakes came up. “Mistake” is a relatively new word to the kids and they were trying it out. I was mostly staying out of the conversation. It had been something of a long day at work, and I […]

Mine’s Bigger

One of the challenges of being home alone with a 2 year old and 4 year old is when one (or both) have to use the bathroom. A few weeks back I was in exactly that awkward situation. N was sitting on the potty and C was playing with his trains. N was listening to […]
