What can you do?

I took my kiddos to one of their favorite eating establishments tonight…Stevie B’s. In the booth behind us there was a man sitting alone reading a book. Malachi commented loudly enough for the man to hear, “Mommy, that man shaved all the hair off the top of his head!”  I pulled Malachi up into my [...]

Say what?

Sometimes I say something to one of my kids and think ,”did I really just have a valid reason to say that? Yep, I did…” and then, I laugh… Tonight I said…
“Son, pick up your spurs and put them in your room. Your spurs don’t go in the hallway!”

What Does a Turtle Say?…

DOODE! That’s what the kids say if you ask them. Finding Nemo finally let us in on what a turtle says. Before that we just praised the kids for their silence when we asked them what a turtle says. I’m so glad we know now!

Straw in the pit

You gotta love kids! I was recently reminded of the hilarious straw in the pit trick (thanks Paula). If you aren’t aware…you put a straw in your arm pit, clamp down and blow…done with the proper technique one can produce a very realistic noise often associated with flatulence. So, now that you know the details [...]
