‘Tis the season. The tail end of cold and flu that is. As well as the cornerstone of spring – a time that I’ve spent the past four years battling the demons of “what if.”
And then something amazing happened. Continue reading

Dating in the ‘Burbs
Dating is usually pretty stressful. And at this age, things can be even more complicated. There are many pieces to the puzzle – many components to sort before success.
- How do you let someone know you’re interested in spending more time together?
- How do you get to know someone’s family?
- How do you tell if someone wants to play with you again?
But play dates are a staple of suburban childhood these days. Continue reading

The Pickup Parade
S’up, yo?
When Jon arrived home, he eyed the pile of rubble stacked on the kitchen counter. “Why does the boys’ backpack look like it’s been dragged through the mud?” he inquired.
Funny you should ask… Continue reading
Evil Knievel and the Peanut Butter Sandwich
No good ever came of a phone call that began, “Don’t worry, they’re okay.”
“Destroy’s had a rough morning…” Miss Stephanie continued. “I felt that I should call and warn you before you came to pick him up as he looks a bit worse for wear.”
I forced myself to hang onto the phone as I dropped my head onto my desk. “What happened?” Continue reading
How the Muppets Were Saved
It’s time to play the music! It’s time to light the lights! It’s time to raise the curtain on…THE BIGGEST COMEBACK TOUR EVER!

I always believed that birthdays should be one’s personal national holiday. It’s only been in recent years that I’ve stopped highlighting the calendar (now I just draw balloons.) Continue reading
The Hat Trick
Well, I walked right into that one. I posted on Facebook this morning,
“Dear Muppets,
2 days, 2 incident reports. Can we at least attempt to avoid the trifecta?

My bad.
We hit the trifecta. At least it’s dispersed between children? Continue reading
How to Exhaust a Muppet
DEFINITION: Boy, n.: a noise with dirt on it. (Courtesy of A Daddy Blog)
Search was not wearing the outfit I dropped him off in this morning. He toddled around the corner, followed shortly by teacher Miss Stephanie. “We’re going to need more wipes.”
Seventeen outfits, 10 kiwis, 386 baby wipes, two runny noses, two incident reports, one hacking cough, one flesh wound, one black eye, and we’ve hit the second week of daycare running.

Back to School
Well, we’ve made the grade. It may be hard to believe, but the muppets started school today. I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking, “School? Already? Are they even a year old?” Continue reading
