OK… let’s see… the DW and I have slightly disappeared the last couple weeks. Just to dispel any rumors, we’re still here. We haven’t joined on as roadies for Sesame Street Live or hooked up with a traveling circus as the resident clown family in training… though the later might by fun for a few […]

The challenge of “two people 10 hours to assemble” the swing set didn’t turn out to be much of a challenge. After logging about four and a half hours between Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday nights the first week we brought it home Lulu and I had the swing set about 90% complete. It only took […]

Back in February, I wrote about the first flight of Potato Boy’s first model rocket. Everything finally lined up that we could take another shot at things last weekend. Since that day back in February, Potato Boy’s collection has grown to three rockets – the solid black 36 inch rocket flown in February, as well […]

If Bill Cosby’s “Kids Say The Darndest Things” show was still on TV…I’d have the perfect guest for him. Lulu. Okay, okay, I’m sure that every child at some point in their toddler years has said something that made their parent(s) think “what the heck did he/she just say”! Such is the case with our […]

Okay, so no one is perfect, but nine is the perfect age for a boy (in my humble mom opinion). Nine-year-olds still snuggle, hold your hand in public, and freely give you hugs and kisses. [Sigh] I wish it could last forever! Our Potato Boy sure is the SWEETEST boy in world! Happy 9th birthday […]
