movie night

Tommy actually took a break from WoW to watch a movie with me. When he reached in the DVD closet and pulled out “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”, my jaw fell on the floor. He may have missed some of the innuendo, but he enjoyed the movie and ice cream (he vetoed popcorn). I […]

Saturday night

Doug and Noah are at the swamp. Sarah and Amy went to the Black Bear Jamboree and now they are sleeping over at their grandparents’ house. Evan spent the day looking for Noah, but he’s starting to wind down now. I wonder if I can lure Tommy off the computer with popcorn and a video.

deoderant by the case

Yesterday, Noah came home from school smelling like Tommy smells when he comes home from school. Noah left for school smelling like a little boy and he came home smelling like a teenager. Nooooooo!

things on my mind

Isn’t there code that would mess with the blog scrapers? Why can’t viruses be used for good instead of evil? Since I got my camera three years ago, people (cough, Doug, cough) have constantly changed the different settings. While out of town last weekend, I realized that it has been messed with so much that […]

LOST stuff

You think he is one of the following: a) Sun’s father, Mr. Paik, the Korean businessman/crimelord – I say no to this option. Jacob […]

Amy’s really an 8-y-o boy

Amy: “Look at me again Daddy.” Doug: “Amy, I can’t keep looking at you while I’m driving. I have a duty as the driver to be diligent and …” insert long Doug lecture here Amy: “snicker, snicker, snort” Doug: “What’s so funny?” Amy: “You said doody.” She’s ready for kindergarten.

how old is she?

Over the weekend, I learned how my mother introduces/describes her children. “Hello! This is my son Danny, this is my son Matt and this is my XX-year-old daughter Cathy.” It was funny the first time I heard her do it. After she did it the second time, she had to change it. “This is my […]
