We have effectively wiped King Herod from the Daring Family annals of biblical history. I’m not losing much sleep over it. From what I hear, that guy was trouble with a capital T and that rhymes with P and that stands for Power-hungry Psychopath.
Laylee has also decreed that all three wisemen were actually [...]
We’re trying to fight the media-oric power of Santa’s publicity machine and teach Laylee and Magoo that Christmas is actually a religious holiday with fun attached as a festive bonus. Some days we win and sometimes the kids get all “Manger, what? Maybe I’ll care if you tell me it was full of [...]
It wasn’t until I sat down to beg you all for help that the severity of what’s going on in the flood zones really hit me and I started bawling. If you want to understand why, go watch this video from the Lewis County Chronicle website. I really need your help everybody.
I spent [...]
What do you think about Santa? Carrie wrote a great post about him at Seattle Mom Blogs. My friends talk about him a lot and goodness knows Laylee can’t say enough about him.
I’m talking about him over at Parenting today and I’d love to have your opinion.
I’m starting to sense that it may be December. This sensation is apropos and in regards to the following significant significations:
1. Magoo will not stop with the “jiggy bells.” Yep. He really calls them that.
2. When we breathe out through our mouths, it makes all kinds of crazy “foagk.” [...]
Tonight Laylee educated me in the ways of childish yuletide arbor dressing. Gah! I adore her.
1. Pull each ornament from the crumpled newspaper. Gasp and squeal because of the sheer beauty of it all.
2. Ornaments get lonely if they’re spread out all over the tree. Each ornament must be [...]
I have a problem. Every 10 or 12 years, I prepare and serve a platter of festive deviled eggs. Periodically, I’d say at least one of every two times I make them every 10 or 12 years, one or two of the eggs will roll over, bumping into other eggs and ruining their [...]
Thaaat’s what they call me, folks.
I am oh-so-done with my children running around at warp speed with their volume turned up to “shatter”. The candy was fun. The candy was beloved. The candy is now gone. And my kids are grateful. The entire neighborhood and my fellow Target shoppers are [...]
This poor pumpkin didn’t stand a chance. The conspiracy began when Papa snatched this poor guy right off the street and drug him back to our house.
He carefully sliced a hole in the top of his noggin while Laylee sat heartlessly drawing plans for his new brainless face.
Magoo looked on as papa extracted [...]
Are we the only ones who’ve been doing this for the past several weeks at Costco?
