Snips and Snails and Puppydog Tails

I hope they’re always like this:

“Now, the nail polish remover is going to sting if you have any cuts on your fingers. And you’ll want to go wash your hands when I’m done taking the polish off.” Yes, that was something I said tonight. No, it wasn’t to remove eye black or a temporary tattoo. It was to remove bright […]

We’re having a music party in my living room, with the Zune Marketplace playing through the XBox 360. We’ve heard MC Hammer “2 Legit,” “U Can’t Touch This,” and “Have you Seen Her?” (which Caleb told us sounded “girlie”); various versions of “Somebody Farted” (yes, you read that right – you’d be surprised how many […]

Well, it’s been nearly a week since Sam’s first birthday party, and I truly think the only reason I haven’t been flogged for not having a post up about the party is that I have at least posted some pictures on Facebook, and I’ve shared some more through Picasaweb. In short, Sam had a FABULOUS […]

And no, I don’t mean Broadway musical, and I don’t mean Disney musical…I mean BOY musical. Just so that nobody thinks my boys are perfect gentlemen, well-behaved and genteel at all times, I just have to say that our drive home from Passover dinner last week was one of the most “musical” (and stinkiest) yet.

One of Sam’s latest tricks is to walk over to a toy, squat down, and pick it up. We say he’s doing his “baby squats.” The other day, Caleb witnessed this and asked Sam if he was doing his “baby squashes.” We have now renamed these “exercises”  as baby squashes. 🙂  And yes, Lynne, I […]

Just because it’s Friday and you need something to make you smile. Enjoy – 🙂 Wednesday night was burger night at our house. Bryan was prepping the burgers and fixin’s, I was feeding Sam dinner, Caleb was working on his homework at the kitchen table and Jacob was reveling in his no-homework freedom by playing […]

I don’t think this post needs too many words. Life with boys is rough-and-tumble at any age. Enjoy the pictures. 🙂

My boys play baseball (well, not Sam. . . yet). One of the first things you’re taught in baseball – and this is VERY important – is that if you get hit with a ball, you don’t rub it until you get to the dugout. It’s part of the whole tough-guy, never-let-em-see-you-sweat, sports thinking. Today […]
