I am an artist & teacher with a ❤ for visual expression, educational methodology, homesteading, & Jesus. My geek-love is The Joshua and we have three peanut-butters: Caleb, Jack, & Louritta.
Looks like "My Kids Forgot to Wear Shoes" season has officially started. 15:00:13, 2013-05-15
Told the boys I saw a raccoon in our back yard late last night. Jack slipped me his light saber: "…so you can get him if he comes back." 15:26:41, 2013-05-16
Went through the feminine products aisle and Caleb shouts, "ARE THOSE BOMBS? THEY SELL BOMBS AT TARGET!!!" And then everyone died laughing. 16:21:42, 2013-05-10
ME: If you drink your milk, you'll get big and strong like Superman!
JACK: I don't want to be like Superman, I want to be like Grandpa! 14:10:48, 2013-05-02
Also, JACK: "I have blonde hair, Caleb has brown hair, and my dad has no hair… just lots of pokes on his head." 14:12:07, 2013-05-02
Caleb freaked.
JACK, (rubbing his back): "You *can* calm down. Take a deep breath. Breathe with me. In. Out. Good."
CALEB: "Thanks, Bud." 15:34:47, 2013-05-04
Thankful for Jack today. "Mom, you have a nice butt! It's big and squishy, just like an elephant!" Thanks, buddy. I feel better now. 10:36:46, 2013-04-24
CALEB: Give me flying rocket blasters! If you do, I *might* explode, if you don't, I *will* explode. Ask yourself, which is more inevitable? 10:40:55, 2013-04-24
JACK: (loudly) "If you don't give Caleb rocket blasters, you will be devoid of all value!" (whispers) "Caleb told me to say that." 12:50:31, 2013-04-24
WHY PARENTING IS AWESOME: Jack cries that he wants to go upstairs. I bring him up. He immediately cries that he doesn't want to be upstairs. 11:41:25, 2013-04-25
CALEB + SUGARY CEREAL: "You shouldn't feed this to us. It won't help us grow big and strong. I'd expect Dad to feed it to us, but not you." 17:28:29, 2013-04-25
