Here are two pieces of my kiddos’ artwork from this morning. This is Blake’s brontosaurus. This is Mikala’s mad scientist penguin. I’m not sure what’s mad about it, but if she says it is, it is.

School Has Started for my Peanuts
Yesterday was the first day of school for my oldest and technically the first for my youngest, but he only went for an hour and a half for orientation. Today is the first full day for both. I have to admit, the house is really quiet without my little whirlwind known as Blake running around….
Are You a Fan of Toddlers & Tiaras? You’ll LOVE This Video.
I came across this video of Ashley Tisdale in a Funny or Die skit this morning that pokes fun at the hit TLC television series Toddlers & Tiaras. This is an older skit that portrays Ashley as an adult beauty pageant queen who still competes at a toddler level. If you don’t laugh watching this…

In the Kitchen with Blake – It’s Time for Cookies
This morning after Blake and I dropped his older sister off at school, we returned home and the first question out of his mouth was, “Can we make cookies now? I want this kind.” He grabbed the mix for chocolate chip cookies off the counter and showed it to me with a grin on his…
Blake and I Have the “Baby Talk”
On the way back from dropping my brother off in Dover this morning, Blake and I had the following “baby talk”, which I found very humorous. I’m sure you’ll understand why once you read it. * Blake: “When am I going to have a baby brother and sister?” Me: “I don’t know, buddy. Maybe someday.”…
