3 boys

the shopping trip

April 11, 2011

My older boys are anti-clothing. Not really in the I want to go naked way, but more in the I have worn this pair of pants and shirt for a year now and I like the way it feels don’t make me change it way. It is similar to the hair cutting battle I regularly [...]

kits, cats, sacks and wives

November 23, 2010

We were all in the car driving somewhere. The boys were in the back seat discussing numbers and math. Numbers and math are hot topics in my house…not sure why, but not complaining. Blog-Stedman asked Ryan(9) if he knew how many people were going to St. Ives. Ryan: 100? Rhett(4): 1000? Reid(7): Where is St. [...]

a tale of 3 backpacks

August 31, 2010

This is one of my favorite posts from last year about this time. The orange backpack continues to return home each morning pulled now by a four year old who still isn’t in school. Once upon a time there were three backpacks. A brand new yellow one. A brand new green one. A hand-me-down orange [...]

the great escape

July 28, 2010

The boys are running away tomorrow. It will certainly be quiet around here. Their plan was initially to be implemented today, but they realized they would miss robotic camp in the morning if they were gone. They have carefully packed: a bucket full of Easter candy, two large bags of chips, a wooden spoon, a [...]

daily bread

June 29, 2010

I have a little issue with bread. I like bread. So does my offspring. Blog-Stedman is more of a meat and potatoes (minus the potatoes) kinda guy, but he is a bread snob. For instance, he requires the proper type of bread for each situation. Don’t even think about putting a hot dog into a [...]

covet thy brother

June 9, 2010

I know it is hard to believe, but sometimes my boys annoy each other… *gasp* I suspect that whomever coined the phrase “brotherly love” was probably just dreaming. Dreaming of peace and quiet. Awhile back, I heard the words “I wish you weren’t my brother” come out of one of their mouths. I don’t ever [...]

eeny meeny miny moe

May 7, 2010

Rhett(4) is passionate about his opinions. The only problem that seems to be popping up lately is that he isn’t always SURE what that opinion is. Once he decides, he defends it to the end. For awhile he would seek opinion assistance… Mommy, which do you think I should choose? And then he found the [...]

innate economics

April 22, 2010

The other morning I woke up to screaming. Was someone bleeding? Was there a burglar in the house? What WAS the emergency? I rushed out to the kitchen where the boys were still screaming to find that it was over this… After screaming interpretation (I am well versed), I deduced that Ryan(9) had drawn this [...]

it’s april, let’s talk santa

April 9, 2010

Last Christmas was a complete disaster when it came to the whole Santa thing. Ryan(8): There is no such thing as Santa Claus. Rhett(4): YES THERE IS…followed by screaming, crying and a very loud…MOMMY! RYAN SAID THERE WAS NO SUCH THING AS SANTA. Reid(6): Santa is dead.* *Read the Santa is dead story here. It [...]

family legacy

March 24, 2010

Ryan(9) has been competitive since birth. He picks up games very easily and is already beating the entire family at any video game, Monopoly, Sequence and occasionally poker. He is also very interested in any sort of medal, trophy and prize. When he heard about world records, he was very interested and immediately tried to [...]

dirty laundry

March 11, 2010

This is not a story for the weak. or eating… If you fall in either category, please look at this pretty picture and I will see you back here tomorrow. You are excused. For those brave enough to stay, I have made a handy dandy list of things I have recently learned while washing clothes. [...]
