A Nun See Hate
I’m really enjoying the experience of my four-year-old’s means of expressing himself. I almost didn’t repeat this, but the other night, I swore I heard Elijah say, “Black guys are stupid.” What-what?! That can’t be what he said, but he said it three times and it’s all I could hear, the way he was merging…
A Stud in the Stacks
The good: For breakfast, I made nomulous goat’s milk grits with sauteed onions & peppers & diced jalepenos (and a smidgin of Pepper Jack), coconut flour-dusted potatoes with sauteed onions and turkey sausage. For lunch I made lettuce wraps with sauteed (in avocado and sesame oils) portobello mushrooms, onions, broccoli slaw, quinoa and cashews. I…
Periodic Superheroes, Etc.
I’ve already posted today, but instead of Facebooking everything, I’m trying to be good and blog it. So a few unrelated mentionables: I’m overhearing the boys play a new superhero game. They’ve given themselves interesting names. Elijah, 4, says, “I’m Vitamin D, but I can turn into Protein Man OR Batman.” Isaac, 6, is…
Soapy Waxy Stuff
I had a request to do soap carving again, so I got a pack of Ivory soap bars and let the boys make a humongous mess with dull knives and various carving implements. Ian carved a couch and I got as far as a robot head before I realized I’d been abandoned with a mountain…
A Bat, a Cucumber and a Tomato Were Walking Down the Street…
I present to you the 2012 candy collecting crew. Left to Right we have a 2.5 year old bat, a 5.5 year old Larry Boy (from Veggie Tales), and a 4.5 year old Super Bob (the Tomato, also from Veggie Tales). As we Trick-or-Treated around town, those individuals familiar with Veggie Tales recognized them instantly….
Knight in Shining…Sunburn?
Here’s our 5 year old, having lost his first tooth on Oct 22 while we were in Florida. It involved an apple, and he was a bit shaken afterwards, being the first loss and all, but the Florida tooth fairy apparently pays high dollar. I guess this means he’s really really not a baby any…
If Only it was Rembrandt Brand
The other day, Elijah did this: It was one of those things that I can’t imagine when he managed to do it, and I hardly could feel mad about, so I took it as a hint and set him up with this: And made cleanup feel like play too… …and a little…
Venus, Not Zucchini
The other day, Isaac took interest in my squat little “Treasures of the Musee D’Orsay” book. It’s full of pictures of paintings, and fits nicely in little hands. He selected it for his bedtime “story” the other night. He had it open to page 62, and was interested in reading only that page. He told…
Robot Chickens
In the last few weeks, the boys were asking me for robot songs. One that I played was “Robot Rock,” by Daft Punk. They were instantly hooked, and have requested it on every car ride. Today, Isaac made a fun modification. Listen to the clip below and imagine Isaac performing the guitar intro with, “Chick Chick Chick Chick Chick…
