Hello all….I have been away for a few days. I attempted to take a end-of the summer vacation. We shared a place down in Newport Coast Villas for the week with family friends. But between football, taekwondo and guitar lessons…I found myself back at home nearly every day at some point. It was not what I had in mind! But the kids had a great time, and the last few days were fun because the ‘men’ (aka husbands) joined us. On one of the last nights we all went to Joe’s Crab Shack. And Jack was able to cross off on his ‘list of things to do very soon’…#27 “Try eating crab”.

So here are a few shots to give you an idea of how this went down…and yes there was a funny bib involved. And this is Jack’s face when I said the last time he had a bib on he was drooling and asking for more baby food…he was clearly not amused at the reference to his ‘early years’.

We bought Jack a shirt to celebrate the night and it says “Peace, Love and Crabs”….it was far better choice than the one he really wanted….. it said “Bite Me”. I won’t embarrass him any further and show you the video of him and Tucker dancing with the entire restaurant to ‘Shake your groove thing’ while the disco balls overhead were spinning. Hey man, this is was great night. Oh and I certainly won’t tell you about the $3 Pineapple Mojitos. Yeah, you are lucky I wasn’t the one up there dancing on the bar. Maybe next time……you, know when I take you there.

“B.L.T. Please- hold the bread”

I had a hard time coming up with a title for this post. Here were some contenders: How to make a salad with like 800 claories and 30 grams of fat. Or…how to make a salad actually taste good. Or….The best looking salad I have ever seen. Or…MMMMMMMM, BACON. Screw you Jenny Craig.

How it is at my house….

Today I opened my refirgerator to see that there has been a big ninja-dragon battle in my fridge. This is what it is like to live with boys. Well, to live with MY boys anyway. Reminds me of this….

Dear Dooce….

                                                                      Dear Dooce. I started reading you about 8 months ago when I began this blogging journey. I was told by more than one blogger ‘you HAVE to read Dooce-she is the one who started it ALL’. So I subscribed. And I have been reading. But I gotta say- I am not that impressed. Initially [...]

A mile in my shoes…

There was a time when I picked out all my boys shoes, I saw them in a cute catalogue and I thought ‘I want my kids to look like THAT’ And I ordered. They arrived. I handed to boys and -they wore them. Slowly I started asking them did they like lace up or slip [...]

When the NEWS isn’t so new…

Photobucket

Recently I this came across my screen while reading one of several news sites with my morning coffee.  And since my boys will be returning to school in 10 days and 7 hours (but who is counting?) it caught my eye. This is a NEWS source reporting on things that are NEWS to us parents. [...]

Its a Foto Finish…

Once upon a time a toy company hired me to do the photo work for packaging on a new product. They said I would need to hire two child models for the shoot. I would need to pay for those models out of my compensation for the job. So after doing the math on the [...]
