Responsibilities

When you take your kids to Target, sometimes you get the luxury of holding your daughter's purse while they peruse the toy aisles sipping on their Icees....

Politically Correct

After reading Duck for President to the kids tonight, Amelia gave me a little election year advice.  First, I am absolutely not allowed to vote for Donald Trump because he is going to make kids wear uniforms to school (I'm not sure her source for this nugget of information).  However, I am also absolutely not allowed to vote for Hillary Clinton because if she wins, it will ruin Amelia's hope of becoming the first female president (A desire she has never expressed before).  So, there you have it.  Amelia's voting philosophy is based on misinformation and wild dreams.

Bedtime

I came across this picture from our beach trip this summer.  I figured I should post it here so it can serve as a reminder to me to never, ever again book a hotel room with only one bed. Despite the fact that Meggan caught us all snoozing, going Willy Wonka style and cramming into a bed with these two involves far more tosses, turns, and kicks, than it does sleep...

Movers

With Meggan gone tonight, I had to move this large, wooden cabinet to the curb alone.  Well, technically not alone...

Sing Along

Jump Around

Since it was hot enough to use the sidewalk as a griddle today, we decided to take our Sunday indoors....

The One

Despite having about 50 trains, Everett tried to assure me THIS train was the one that would change his life forever...it didn't work on me....
