And I speak for the trees.

And I speak for the trees.

Last Friday was an out-of-school day for our 1st-grader, which of course meant that we had to plan something super fun for the first segment of Fun Family Friday. We chose a movie. The Lorax, in fact. The boys ...

Best. Night. Ever.

Best. Night. Ever.

Fun Family Friday did not disappoint. At all. After some awesome food… Fun Friday Taco Bar, in fact… There was some other stuff to do. Like dancing. Lots of it. It was pretty much belly-hurting hilarious. And then the ...

Extremely random, but what else is new.

Extremely random, but what else is new.

Is breakfast like this at your house? I sort of think it is, but sometimes I get little seeds of doubt telling me that your house might not be as weird as mine. The boys wanted to me give ...

I’m not quite sure what’s happening here. Is it The Hustle? I think someone forgot to tell our short stuff to bust his move. Even his coach is trying to throw a Jedi mind trick at him. I have ...

Raising Superheroes.

Raising Superheroes.

I never realized that playing dress-up could be a part of raising boys. I thought, after walking aisle after aisle in toy stores, that that delightful part of growing up was simply reserved for girls who could be princesses, ...

Can I help?

Can I help?
