I haven’t been saying much lately. Nobody listens anyway. After years of promising my wife we would go on vacation to Disneyland with the kids, we finally made it. Some people make this trek frequently – one of Callie’s mom’s friends goes 4 times a year. That’s a bit too happy for me. I had…

What Makes You Yawn?
Aubrey’s teacher asked her students to draw a picture of what makes them yawn. Aubrey drew a picture of herself doing homework. I feel the same way.
What Do You Want to be When You Grow Up?
My Nephew’s preschool class recent took a field trip to a local store. They went to the bakery and saw the big mixers and how donuts are made. They toured the meat section where they had some interesting machines and I am sure the rest of the store. Gadgets have an effect on guys at…
Jeremiah was a Bullfrog, Lucifer is a Cat
Whether I like it or not my daughters are big fans of the Disney princess world. I am realizing that most things around here are whether I like it or not. Anyway, the have seen Cinderella 1, 2 and 3 multiple times. Tonight they were telling I and Callie that they learned about Lucifer today…
The Spawn of Satan
My wife’s best friend moved to Kentucky a number of years ago because she married a guy from back there. We lamented that they were so far away because they were fun to hang out with and because of the distance we rarely saw them. Then they moved back out to the great state of…

Yesterday, my daughter, out of the blue, told her sunday school teacher, “I’m so bored I could fall asleep.” We told her that she shouldn’t say things like that to her teachers – she is going to kindergarten in the fall so we need to teach her stuff like that. The irony is she didn’t…
Girls can be mean
I have three daughters two are twins. Aubrey is the one that does what she is supposed to. Any time there is a reward system she gets the most of whatever it is. Currently, we are giving stars to the kids and when they fill up a chart they get to do something fun like…
All the Dinosaurs are Killed
The other night I am trying to get Jenna to go to bed which is not easy to do. I almost get here there when she sits up and says, “Dad I want to tell you something.” I say, “OK”. She says, “all the t-rexs are killed.” Then she says, “a meteor came and killed…
Jenna Again
Nature calls to Jenna frequently in the middle of the night. The other night she got up used the facilities and then went back to bed. If the kids so much as cough Callie wakes up so of course she was awake for this event. After Jenna had gone back to her room she came…
Twins
For years people have asked us a question that drives my wife crazy, “are they twins?” This is of course the question that people use as a conversation starter. Having kids that look alike is like having the perfect coffee table conversation piece only better – they travel with you. Total strangers will talk to…
