Three years ago I took August, Déla and Ciárán to see Winnie The Pooh in theaters. At 3 years old, he was a little scared but excited. It was a big, dark, loud place. While we don’t typically think of it, for younger children a movie theater can be a little daunting. When the Spy Kids…
Last night as Laura and I were going to bed we smelled it. Xavier, our 3 year old, had pooped in his pull-up and needed changing. While I didn’t relish waking him up, it had to be done. As I (gently) woke him and picked him up to carry him to the bathroom he said, “Who…
The other day I was picking up my kids from school as I do every day. Nothing special, just doing my job, trying to not have Child Protective Services called. What struck me about this particular day was the Kindergarten teacher. She said “Thank you for being here on time every day to pick up…
August came down one morning this week after showering and said “There was an explosion on planet My Head.” After school yesterday Ciárán came out of class wearing his jacket OVER his backpack, zipped up, with his arms out of the sleeves and the hood on.

This is going to be a problem. I am looking across the table right now at something the kids will get so used to having when the inevitable supply chain dry up happens I don’t know if they will be able to cope. I am talking about the Scholastic book order. This picture doesn’t even…
It’s the first day back to the routine. The kids are back in school and I have a few hours to myself. The morning went well and nobody was late. There is a lot to write about. I have several thoughts about music. There’s the interchange I had with my youngest which I found amusing….
I didn’t run this last week because I was in the middle of my annual Beatles Week. Well, that, and I didn’t have any really good pictures from Christmas. I will share what I have and a couple of others from the past couple of weeks. Let’s start with Christmas. Here’s Kyle doing… something. …
