While watching the opening credits of Zoboomafoo Ethan: This is the part where they find Zoboo Me: Oh yeah? Ethan: Yeah. They found him and broke him and built a robot and put his fur back on and now he can talk.

Me: Why is Jamie crying Ethan: Ben was playing rough with Jamie Me: Ben, were you playing too rough with Jamie? Ben: Well…I didn’t see me do it…

All of our kids are super adorable and say cute (but sometimes gross) things. Jamie is particularly fun lately since she is busy learning so many new words and things. I LOVE that her new words of the morning were poop and boots which she kept saying over and over when I was changing her [...]

As the minivan was pulling away from the playground yesterday Ben asked me “can we go play at that playground now?” and pointed to the cemetery across from the park. I told him it wasn’t a playground and that it was a cemetery. One of the boys asked what that was and I told them [...]

Here is the silliest thing we did this week (well silliest thing I did, the kids are way more silly). Last night I didn’t want to make dinner, it was hot out and there was no way I wanted to cook. We went in the very chilly 74 degree pool when John got home from [...]
