Snips and Snails and Puppydog Tails

Daddy-style. 🙂

Daddy went to the store tonight, and when Sadie went crazy at the window, Sam and I thought he was home. To the window we rushed to greet him, and Sam didn’t quite apply the brakes soon enough. BONK! Head to window corner. When I asked him if he was okay, he half-wimpered, “yes…” while […]

Yes, folks, we’ve hit another sports milestone! Caleb starts kid-pitch baseball this (fall) season, and he’s doing great! The Keller 9U Chargers started their fall season last night with a bummer of a loss. BUT, the kids had fun, played well, and my Bear got to come in as a relief pitcher! Daddy said** he […]

It’s finally here! We’ve had the bike for not quite 24 hours, and I think he’s only been off it long enough to sleep. First, the stills: Favorite quotes: “I park my bike in the office.” “We don’t eat bikes. We ride bikes.” (this morning) “We go to Grandma and Grandpa’s house.” “The big truck […]

On Sunday (before the meltdown of epic proportions, if you happened to see my FB on Sunday), Sam found the microphone that goes with our Guitar Hero game. Clearly, he’s a rock star in the making. (And I didn’t even get the best part on camera – after each “set” he’d call out, “Thanks, guys!”)

Sam found some goggles yesterday evening and decided to go for a swim…in the living room. He started with the backstroke: Then switched to the crawl. Michael Phelps, watch out. Sam’s coming after your records!

This morning: S: Mommy, you talk to me? M: Yes, baby. What do you want to talk about? S: You talk to me? M: Sure. What should we talk about? The economy? S: Yeah, deconomee M: Okay, what do you think about the economy? S: You give deconomee? You give dat conomee? (pointing to the […]

Thursday morning when Daddy left to take Bubba and Bear to school, Sam got VERY upset. He was sobbing like his heart was broken in two that he didn’t get to go with Daddy and his brothers. (Daddy said they could hear him from the car.) A sad Sam eventually climbed into my lap and we looked at […]

Well, ONE  of them is, anyway.

On the menu tonight? Hot dogs and french fries…or pasta, depending on when you asked. 🙂 Clearly, he takes after his father in the kitchen. Mommy does not cook. (Okay, I cook, but I don’t cook well.)
