Happy Hour With The Kids

Did you ever have one of those moments when you just want to freeze time?  I had  one of those this afternoon. It was about an hour before dinner.   Everything was prepared and ready to go on the grill.  Baby was asleep.  The big  kids were finishing up a video.  The house was relatively straightened [...]

If You Take Your Kids To The Mall…

They’re going to want to push the buttons that operate the automatic doors. Of course it’s too convenient that there are two buttons and two children, one button for each child to press.  A fight will probably ensue because both children want to push both buttons. The fight will soon be forgotten when they see [...]

Another Pool Escapade

Can someone please tell me HOW one mother is supposed to keep track of 3 kids at a crowded swim club?  I know, you moms out there with 5 and 6 and 7 kids are like, “Get a life.  Three’s nuttin!”  But this mother-of-three thing is taking all the mental faculties I have left. I [...]

The Ice Cream Parlor

There is a quaint ice cream parlor hidden on a back country road a few miles from our house.  It belongs to the dairy farm that operates there.  Hub is very fond of (read: addicted to) ice cream and treats the kids  regularly. Because I’m always watching my calories, I don’t usually accompany The Fam [...]
