This morning Claudia started it again. “Yeh-yow, yeh-yow, yeh-yow, yeh-yow, YEH-YOW! YEH-YOW” over and over. Each time she said it she would get more and more hysterical, until finally I found our single yellow pacifier under her crib. I decided that instead of spending most of my free time searching for the damn thing, I [...]

Me: “Hey Gabe! I need you to come in here and tell me if this is an emu”. Gabe: “Does it look like an ostrich?” Me. “A flamingo maybe. I don’t know. I can’t tell. It’s in an ice cream truck”.

I admit – I had good reasons to be concerned that Claudia kept saying “shit”. Fortunately, this morning I realized she was saying “Sid”. I was very relieved, Sid is one of our cats. The yellow pacifier situation has not improved. In fact, it seems to have spread to demanding yellow sippy cups as well. [...]

I just spent 15 minutes looking for the yellow pacifier.

1) I know I said bacon was my favorite food, but brownie batter might be a close second. 2) When you are just measuring water do you put the measuring cup in the dishwasher or do you just put it away. 3) Can you get the bird flu from eating raw eggs? Or just salmonella? [...]

Last night I had a dream that Corbi and I had just moved into a new apartment. (Corbi was my roommate twice. Once, freshman year of college and once right after I graduated college and moved to Ft. Lauderdale for a year). Then, Steve Irwin came over and pulled three huge snakes out of this [...]

When we bought our new house we knew that we would need to replace all of our windows and either repair or replace our two fireplaces. We also knew that we needed to put some insulation up in the attic and that there were some problems on the roof around the chimney. We were also [...]

I haven’t done of my “Randomness” posts in a while, but a couple of people sent me some links and I think they are pretty funny. You may notice I’ve dropped the Roman numerals because I got sick of doing it wrong and hoping nobody noticed. Aaron sent me this link. You must be familiar [...]

The Goon Squad is starting to really talk. They have all sorts of words. Their favorite words are “yellow”, “hat”, “Mommy”, “meow”and “cow” right now. Here is where my question come in. Claudia calls Ian “Eye-an”, as if he were Steve from 90210. We pronounce his name “Eee-an” as if he used to be in [...]

I am showing you this picture for multiple reasons. 1) We’re not actually potty training yet. We’re just getting The Squad used to the potties. Sometimes, when I go into the bathroom, they come in and sit and we talk about pooping and peeing. I am still terrified to try this with their pants off. [...]

When I showed Ian this picture of himself he started dancing.
