I think our Bob the Builder action figure must have gotten some of that Axe body spray or something. Claudia has been walking around with him for days. The first thing she says when she gets up is “Bob”. She even puts him in her doll house. (see the dark picture below) I bought this [...]

Do you guys have any of those phrases that you say and you have no idea where they came from? Ever since The Goon Squad started eating solid foods I have found my self telling them that things are “tucky good”. As in “Yum yum tucky good”. I have no idea what this means. I [...]

I’ve been keeping this inside for about a year now, but it is time for me to just admit it. I hate Big Bird. There I said it. I hate him. He is whiny and stupid and the birdkateers all sing flat. Ooh, thank you, interweb. I feel much better now.

Well, I don’t think that Super Bowl Extra Large was the most exciting championship game that anyone has seen – including The Goon Squad, but Ian got ready for the even with two empty sixes of Shiner Bock. I think it is nice that Bettis got to retire with a ring on his finger, and [...]

Gabe says they look like Bob and Doug Mackenzie in these hats. I don’t know if it is true. But I do know it is funny.

Today apples were the grocery store distraction. But that isn’t my story. First, Claudia is really starting to sing and I really love it, but she sings like the drunk girl that doesn’t actually know all the words to the song. For example, the theme song to “Bob the Builder” sounds like this: Song: Can [...]

On Sunday, the four of us were playing in the kids room. I stood up and said “Excuse me for a moment” and as I was leaving the room I heard Ian say “Mommy? Mommy?” and then I heard Gabe say “Mommy went to dump the truck”. I can hear Ian yelling “Mommy truck? Mommy [...]
