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 sign, a butterfinger [...]

I truly believe that there aren’t many problems that can’t be solved by a good bath.
It appears that my boys agree.

Yep.  He is standing…

We were in the Vail Valley last week.  It was incredibly beautiful.
And the perfect temperature…in the shade.
I have 1000s of pictures.  Approximately 67% of them are of poppies.
The poppies were so vivid.  I may post a poppy a day for the rest of the year…
Many of the photos above are from the Betty Ford Alpine [...]

Before I had children, I loved the Laura Numeroff books.
If You Give a Moose a Muffin
If You Give a Mouse a Cookie

Now they just hit too close to home to be funny.
My children are the Moose, the Mouse and the Pig.

There is no end to their string of requests.
A [...]

I know I have lamented on numerous occasions that my kids are early risers.
Roosters.

No matter what threats, follow-throughs and grand sleeping schemes I enforce…they just get up early.
Very early.
Sleeping IN is 6 am at my house.
*shudder*
The problem isn’t that they get up early.
The problem is that they need attention early.
*shudder*
Not only do they need my [...]

We visited the Fort Worth Water Gardens yesterday.
Rhett and I made our way carefully to the bottom of the “falls” (second from the top). The sound when you are sitting there is a fantastic roar.

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 was a huge relief to [...]
