Micah Speaks Out About Marriage

Here is a snippet from a conversation Micah and I had at lunch today. Me: “Do you think you’d like to get married someday?” Micah: “Well, I want YOU to marry me. Because I love you.” Me: “Aww, thanks! But I’m already married to Daddy.” Micah: (thinking deeply look, then the “aha!” look) “Well, if [...]

The Helpful Spider

I explained to Micah that we don’t want to hurt the spider he saw in our basement *(see footnote for further explanation) because he helps us out by eating other bugs. Micah then explained it back to me from an angle that I had never before considered, “Yeah, so we don’t have to eat ‘em.” [...]

I want to write stuff!

I want to write stuff, but I don’t really have anything in mind. So I’ll just start telling you random things and maybe they’ll lead into something deep and big and wide. OK? So my parents went on vacation this week WITHOUT US! I cannot believe it. Actually I can, because they’re getting quite good [...]

How do ya answer this one?

Yesterday I used the phrase, "If I were you" while talking to Micah about which utensil to use for his fruit at breakfast.  A few minutes later he asks, "Mommy, if you were me, who would be your mommy and daddy?" A few minutes after that: "Would Uncle Harold be your daddy?"

Skeeting

Randy got to redeem his birthday present yesterday.  His birthday was over 2 months ago, but he never seems to want something easily attainable, like containers or something.  No, he wanted to go skiing (or as Micah calls it, skeeting). Back in high school we used to go skiing together.  Not a lot, but enough [...]

Stuck Between a DVD and a Mother-In-Law

This is the blog post I have been putting off and putting off for a long time now.  Randy bothers me about it almost weekly, but I have been able to avoid doing anything about it until now.  Then it happened.  Last night, as we were getting ready for bed, it became obvious that I [...]

One More Thing

OK, I just finished my last post, and that's normally all I can do for like weeks, but I HAVE to tell you this! Randy presented a dictionary to himself.  I'm totally serious.  I just looked something up in our Big Fat Red Dictionary when I spotted some writing on the front page as I closed it.  I [...]

Fun with Adjectives

So the other day Micah says, Oh, wait I cannot tell you what he said yet because it requires a little bit of background info that you may or may not want to know.  The brief version is that Randy and I call each other "Taters" and Micah knows this and sometimes tries to summon [...]

Amusing myself at 5AM

I can't sleep.  So I will type things.  Maybe if I type really fast, I'll get tired.  Or maybe if I type really slowly, I'll get bored.  Either way, maybe I'll get some sleep soon.  I've been up since 2:53.  That's when Serena woke up to eat.  She went back to sleep just fine, thankfully.  [...]

The Baggy Sleeves Strike Again

You know how sometimes you read little tips on how to beef up security around your home?  Like not putting the giant box that held your Plasma TV out on the curb for all to see?  (I don't think we thought much about that when we disposed of our TV's packaging; it was about the [...]
