“Don’t kick the poopy diaper.” I never in a million years would have thought that sentence would leave my lips. Today it did. I was changing Xavier’s diaper, which was, as I’m sure you’ve guessed by now, was *ahem* full. As I was setting it aside, he decided to kick at it. None of my…
So I’m driving one of my various kids either to or from one of their various activities the other day, as is typical for the afternoon. I see a woman walking towards Aurora Avenue. If you live in a major city, you have some variation on this area, where certain women… work.

What a day we had. Saturday I took three of the kids to the Mariners game, and it was highly enjoyable (not just because they snapped a 7 game losing streaking). Sure, winning a game 7-0 is fun, watching Felix Hernandez pitch is fun, but those things wound up being icing on the proverbial cake….
Remember earlier when I told you August came in third place for his Pinewood Derby entry? Here he is at the pack meeting getting his award.
