Deep Thinker built a spaceship out of lego’s, and Rowdy Rebel threw it on the ground. It broke in half (easy to fix though). So Deep Thinker was really mad, crying, and kept talking about it even after we fixed it–just all bent out of shape. I wanted to teach him about forgiving and moving […]

This little story made me cry. I was walking my kindergartner home from school. As usual, I asked him how his day went, who he sat with at lunch, and who he played with at recess. He said, “I didn’t play with anyone at recess.” I asked why, and he explained that he waited in […]

Rowdy Rebel still loves the Power Rangers. He does lots of Power Ranger karate moves at the playground, which sometimes turns into fighting, and is a little embarrassing for me but also sometimes funny. He doesn’t get it. The other day he was trying to impress a little three-year old girl he likes to flirt […]

Deep Thinker and I love watching SpongeBob and reading SpongeBob stories. So, last night before bed, we were reading one we bought at a school bookfair. I was trying to do a SpongeBob imitation (which sounded exactly like SpongeBob, and extremely funny, in my opinion). After I read a few lines using the ‘SpongeBob voice,’ […]

The other night, Deep Thinker and I were reading about gliding possums. (As many of you know, children’s books have some yucky topics–bugs that kill frogs, possums that fly, I’m serious, it gets crude, but the cruder it is, the more my boys seem to love it…). So, the book explained how the wings aren’t […]

Rowdy Rebel’s now pointing to EVERYTHING all over the place and telling me the name. It’s fun to see how many words he’s learned. I have a shirt that Rowdy Rebel LOVES. The shirt has a bird on it. So the other day, he points to the head of the bird on my shirt and […]

So, cute story from yesterday. Deep Thinker is going to baseball clinic (camp) for four days. We were walking, and we passed a construction site with a crane digging a huge hole, and piling dirt to the side. There was a small mountain of dirt and gravel, probably 15 or more feet high. My son […]

Rowdy Rebel was out like a light at 8:30 pm. After I got him in bed, I went back in to my room to check on Deep Thinker. Deep Thinker was wearing my reading glasses. He explained that he needed them to finish drawing his picture. He has a little Power Rangers transformer toy that […]

This story is slightly crude, but it has a funny and innocent element. Deep Thinker came in and told me he’d beaten up the Hulk in his video game. I said, “really?” and he said, “yes, I was Spiderman, and I did some web-slinging ass-kicking!” And I said, “Oh goodness, we can’t say words like […]

I was getting ready to tuck Deep Thinker in bed, and he said, “Hey, Mommy, this morning when you were getting Rowdy Rebel to sleep, I took some of my quarters from my wallet, and I put them in your jar, the one where you put change.” I asked why he did that. And he […]
