Dogs, Clogs, and Date Night Dialogue
The day started out pretty normal. I got the boys up and ready for school, came home and had my essential cup pot of coffee. Derek and Ashley got up soon after, and so I fed them and got them ready for the day. Jason’s car has some sort of metal on metal grinding sound, [...]
Why Teenagers Are Easier Than Toddlers
As a mother of several small children, I am often engaged in small talk with strangers in places like the grocery store and the like. I hear the phrase, “You have your hands full!” more often than any other phrase in the english language. They are right, of course, I do. Lugging around four kids, [...]
The Tooth Fairy…For Dogs??
I was getting Ashley and Derek out of the bath, and Troy and Jason were brushing their teeth. Ashley gets done and wanders out into the hallway. All of a sudden, Troy says, “Ma! Ma! Ashley lost a tooth!” Now, Ash is only 19 months old. She should not be losing a tooth right now, [...]

Videos of the Kiddos and Pups
I look outside while doing the dinner dishes and I see Derek walking towards me…yes, walking! It took me a second to process what I was seeing. At first, I banged on the window and motioned for him to get down, but he just smiled at me. Then the blogger in me came out, so [...]
Mud-Slinging
Me: ”What do you think you are doing?” Them: ”Going into the bathroom to wash off.” Me: ”No way! You march right back outside and…” I pause. Brilliant. I am now about to march them out into the backyard and squirt them with a hose. Punks. I give in and send them out to play [...]
