By Kevin | Published October 28, 2011

A Rose By Any Other Name… Stinks

By Kevin | Published October 24, 2011

Our Story Begins With Our Hero… Superheroes are commonplace in our household. The intricacies of how Batman, Spiderman, and Superman live their lives and conduct their business are routinely discussed. Their actions are repeatedly performed upon unsuspecting and usually helpless smaller siblings (the bad guys), stuffed animals, and invisible intruders. Of course, this is not [...]

Green-Eyed Monsters Are Out For Your Lamps

By Kevin | Published August 3, 2011

The other day I had a conversation with Lucas. He was curious about those pesky green-eyed monsters. Here’s a snippet. Lucas: Do you know what a green-eyed monster looks like? Dad: Well I guess it looks like a monster with green eyes. I haven’t seen one, have you? Lucas: No. Dad: Where did you hear [...]

On Why Dandelions Will Overtake My Lawn

By Kevin | Published May 13, 2011

www.Landscape-Photo.net It’s a common spring site, dandelions. And no matter how hard you try, your lawn is bound to get them. But when you have kids, dandelions are an even more likely occurrence.

- I’m not sure our youngest, Samuel, is going to make it to his first birthday. I think our daughter is trying to get rid of him. I think she loves him, she talks to him and about him often. But she has also done things to make us think otherwise. When he is in his swing she likes to push it beyond what it was meant to go. She likes to poke his eyes. She threw his favorite pacifier into the garbage disposal (unknown to Erin until she ran it). She has picked him up and dropped him repeatedly (and tried to pick him up many other times). She has taken his blanket, covered his face with it and laid on him. She has put a marble, a pretzel, a piece of pizza, and other things into his mouth. I’m just not sure if Samuel is going to make it because his older sister is out to get him.
