Some Mornings

I make three lunches in the morning. Two for my kids in school and one for my wife who teaches kindergarten. We use almond butter due to peanut allergies in schools. I pull out the almond butter, place it on the counter. After opening the lid to spread it, and realize I have no knife….

Soap Brother

By |

The soap, as it often does as it nears the end of its usefulness, had broken apart into two pieces. It was during bathtime and Ciárán (age 5) was getting washed. I was hoping not to lose either of the pieces, and had mashed them together to form an approximation of a singular piece of…

Goodbye Crib

By |

Took the crib apart over the weekend. That felt weird. It needed to happen, but it’s been 10 years. Xavier transitioned into a regular bed a month or so ago, and it’s been going as well as could be expected. It’s easier for him to get out of bed, but there’s less danger of him…

Here is the one picture I have for this week. It’s Ciárán and Xavier at the zoo this morning. I have a bit of stuff to say, but for the uninterested, here’s the picture. Ugh! Alright, so for Mother’s Day Laura bought a new digital camera. This was a purchase we had been mulling over…

This morning we went to the orthodontist. Again. Last week August had an issue with his braces where the piece that held the rubber band that holds his headpiece in place broke. So we had to go to the orthodontist and have that replaced. It wasn’t the quick fix everybody expected. They had to take…

LEGO Batman The Movie: DC Super Heroes Unite Blu-ray

One of my 10 year old son’s favorite video games of all time is LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes Unite – surpassed only very recently by LEGO City Undercover. At times he would play the game just to watch the cutscenes telling the story of how Lex Luthor and The Joker team up to…

Speak Up

After returning from the store Dela (age 7) asks “What’s Borax?” August (age 10) without missing a beat chimes in “It’s like the Lorax, but for Laundry.” “What” “I am the Borax and I speak for the clothes.”

I have six pictures and two birthdays to share this week. Tuesday was August’s actual 10th birthday. I previously posted about his party last Friday. Here he is blowing out the candles on his cake.   Then he opened up the biggest present from his grandparents containing the biggest LEGO set he’s ever gotten (the…

Doc McStuffins: Time For Your Checkup

Disney Junior has come a long way in the last couple of years, and part of that is due to some recent additions to its lineup. One of those is “Doc McStuffins” and despite the semi-Scottish last name, the leach character is an African-American girl. And dad is a stay at home dad while mom…

Not A Time Out

By |

Ciaran (5) and Xavier (3) are playing in the front room. They start getting into something they shouldn’t. What that is isn’t important. I raise my voice and say “Get out of there!” They immediately run and sit together in the big red chair. I put whatever it was back. As I walk out of…
