Bloggy Brain

Maybe your brain is "blogged." You know, like clogged.
Jellybean

Jellybean (11) quipped this after I announced that not only did I send her prepared water bottle off to school with her sister, this meant that Coco (13) had not one, but two water bottles in her lunch bag.  I do blame blogging.  Ellen

Diagnose this

"Relax. It's not terminal."
Charlie

This week brought an interesting discovery in our household.

Deacon (8): “Dad, I found out I have motion sickness.”

Dad: (raised eyebrow)

Charlie (11): “Relax. It’s not terminal.”

Roommates

Hey, Roomie!!
Eddie

My sons, Eddie and Deacon, go to the same school. The other day they passed each other on the playground.

“Hi, Eddie!” 8 year old Deacon yelled across the playground.

“Hey, Roomie!” 4 year old Eddie yelled back.

There was much rejoicing from the teachers on the playground who ALL rushed to tell me after school. Erin

Friends, Romans, Countrymen . . .

The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones.
Mark Anthony in Shakespeare's "Julius Ceasar"

 

Julius Caesar’s death on March 15, 44BC catapulted the Ides of March from obscure Roman calendar date to infamy. Shakespeare’s play about Caesar sealed the deal.

This is the best quote from that play by a mile! Enjoy the Ides! Erin

Brotherly Advice

I want to be a bear.
Deacon

Stick with me, kid. We'll go places.

 

This is the 8 year old’s response to our incredulity when we discovered him applying Axe to every square inch of his little person.

“What on earth are you doing?”

“Well, Ace said that this stuff makes you grow hair and I want to be bear.”

Sounds like we might need to clarify a few things with the teen. Erin

If you have a teen boy or will have one, invest in this stuff. Heavily. You can thank me later.

The Beautiful Game

The rules of soccer are very simple, basically it is this: if it moves, kick it. If it doesn't move, kick it until it does.

Are we off-sides?

Soccer Moms, our season has arrived!! Hope this helps to get you in the mood to freeze your butt off on the sidelines in March and then sweat it off in June.

It really is a ”beautiful game”!!! -Erin
