Fake News

At one point today, Amelia said the following "See Everett, I've been telling you.  Everything might be fake. They might not be our parents.  They might not even be married!"  So, there you have it.  We've been busted. This Truman Show experiment is over.  Amelia cracked the code. Sorry for tricking you all this past decade. 

Quick Smile

It took Amelia roughly 7 years to grow back her two front teeth.  Okay, maybe it was more like 1 year that felt like 7 years.  That said, within a few months, Everett has lost both top teeth and grown them back in....

...now, I guess the only question is do her teeth grow in abnormally slow or does Everett's body heal like a vampire?

Gang

There's nothing better than spending time with my biker gang. This weekend, you may have seen us riding through the business park (some of us in our pajamas) on our way to get ice cream AND hot chocolate.  It's not exactly whiskey and cigarettes, but a vice is a vice.  

Trim

Apparently, when you say "just give her a little puppy trim", that means "give her the Lloyd Christmas from Dumb and Dumber"...

All Day

Soccer game. Birthday party. Play date. Sleepover. Parenting Saturdays are the only thing less relaxing than the work week.

Safe Travels

Amelia is going on an out of town field trip tomorrow.  It's things like this that make it hard for me to parent.  I really want my kids to have fun and see the joy and excitement in everything.  However, I know I'll be worried about her until she gets back off the bus safe and sound.  Of course, I guess I could offer to chaperone a bus full of 4th graders .... naaaahhhhh, I'm sure she'll be fine.

Inside??

When I try to explain to Olive that I'm on my lunch break and we have to go back into the house instead of play outside all day, her look goes from this....

 ...to this...
