The first time I heard about Yo-kai Watch was last year at the Penny Arcade Expo. We were standing in line to play the (still) upcoming Starfox Zero game. There was a large screen showing trailers for other games, such as Super Mario Maker, Yoshi’s Woolly World, Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon, and, yes, Yo-kai Watch….
August has, in his 12 years so far on this earth, had more sleepovers than I did in almost my entire childhood. But that’s not the half of it. A couple of nights ago he had a friend spending the night and they watched Metropolis. August is 12 years old, and he’s watching a film…
Just a few pictures this week. Last week was Catholic Schools Week. Friday was “Purple & Gold Day” showing school spirit. Here are two of the best dressed from the day, August and the vice principal. And Xavier discovered another board game – LEGO Minotaurus (I wish LEGO did not discontinue their board game division)….
Ash Wednesday. I am having trouble figuring out what I’m going to give up for Lent. It will come to me. But first I have to get to mass. Get the kids to school, get back home, change Tevye, get out the door, etc. We are in the alley with the stroller and at the…
This year’s Super Bowl offered up a great lesson for my kids. No, I’m not talking about how the Denver Broncos managed to stop the Carolina Panthers from scoring and won Super Bowl 50.

I think Beyonce or Bruno Mars were supposed to be a surprise, but that just…
A heck of a week. It started with Catholic Schools Week which is essentially an “open house” for the school on Sunday. I had planned on getting pictures of all the kids in their various classrooms but an active Tevye prevented that. I was able to get one of them all together at the preschool….
Well, that was unexpected. Laura is pregnant again. Yes, this really was unexpected. More than a surprise, really. Something more akin to…. well, maybe not shock, but definitely close enough to it. The baby is due in the middle of August, which, because all of the other kids have come out late, means this baby…
I first saw Kim post this on Facebook, then Dawn went and made a blog post about it, so I decided I would take this up as well. These are some interesting questions and answers. I clearly have some work to do. My questions in bold answered by: Xavier – age 5 Ciaran – age 8…
How do you not have this film in your collection? Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs has been available on DVD in several editions as well as a Blu-ray from a few years ago. This is the first animated feature film. It is not only a landmark in cinema history, it is simply a great…
