Roller coaster junkies are born
Yesterday we took the kids to the amusement park. We only go maybe once a year at this point because the kids are still kind of young, but this was the first year that the oldest is tall enough … Continue reading
Ahh, Saturday morning
*tap tap* I wake up. “Daaaad?” “Yeah, buddy?” “I have to go poop.” This requires no intervention from me. “So go ahead.” *shuffle shuffle* I go back to sleep. A few minutes later… *tap tap* “Dad?” “Yeah, buddy?” “It clogged.” … Continue reading

Open to ideas
Hi folks! I’m using my little soap box today to solicit some ideas. My 4 year old is in daycare during the day with his younger brother and a bunch of younger kids. He’s also been acting up. … Continue reading
I’m proud of my little monkey
This morning, as we hung out on the bed before breakfast, my oldest wrote his name all by himself in one of those lined pads for learning your letters. The letters were shaky, the N looked more like an M, … Continue reading
