Size Matters

Everett learned you can practice every day, you can try playing with a smaller ball, you can raise or lower the hoop.....but, nothing other than time is going to change the fact that your sister is big enough to back you down over and over and over again.

Built for Comfort

A Long Line

This Easter may have been under different circumstances than previous years, but that didn't stop us from adding to our rich history of raising master egg hunters....


Nobody was going to outrun Amelia to the eggs....

 Nobody was going to celebrate finding an egg (or a dog ball he thought was an egg) like Everett with his war cry...


Nobody could scour the tall monkey grass for the FIVE eggs the kids "hid" and none of us could find like Olive....

We'll Call it a Tie

Everett became involved in a very intense staring contest with his Peep tonight. It was a battle for the ages. If I had to judge it, I'd say Everett probably blinked first, but considering the Peep ended up with his head bitten off, we'll just call it a tie.

Stylist

Well, here we are, 1,250 days into staying home.  We finally broke down and had to resort to the home haircut.  We found out two things while doing this -

1) It's possible to do it without total disaster.

2) It's worth every penny we've ever paid to have a professional do it. 


The work...

The result...

Scarred

I'm sure the kids found this little April Fool's joke online somewhere and thought it was the cutest thing. However, I'm pretty sure a talking, smoking toilet is showing up in my nightmares tonight...
