If only we were able to somehow harness the energy of our children… …it would actually probably be illegal because it would likely transform into a weird, Matrix-like scenario where little kids are kept in amniotic sacks in giant, autonomous energy farms maintained by creepy, spider robots… …but then again, hey – whatever keeps them busy and…

June 17, 2016: Spy Game
“Hey, wait a minute – that’s my room!” Let’s just be honest – eventually one of these days our son is going to make that correlation when he’s staring into the baby monitor receiver in our bedroom, although in our defense I’m kind of surprised that he hasn’t gotten any sort of clue already when you take into…
Apr 7, 2016: Banana Shortage
Only when you’ve got a toddler in the middle of his I only want to eat bananas-phase is it possible to walk into your local Target and find nary a single bananular fruit in all of their entire produce section… Except for a small rack of super unripe, organic bananas that we soon found out were pretty much unedible on…
Apr 6, 2016: Trampoline!
It’s not hard to see why kids are always getting themselves into trouble for jumping on the bed when to your average toddler, a king-size bed is pretty much the perfect trampoline. Granted, I’m probably not helping the situation by repeatedly tossing him up into the air so that he can plummet with laughter into…
Mar 18, 2016: Dinosaur Crayons
I wish I was five years-old again so I could’ve picked up a pack of these awesome crayons that I came across at Target today. I mean, it’s not like they were checking for a lack of ID at the checkout in order to be able to buy them or anything, but aside from “Oooh…
Mar 17, 2016: Pool Break!
Sometimes you just have to take a quick break from the daily grind to run around the pool and play with your noodle! *ahem* What’s funny is that almost this exact same scenario played out a couple of days earlier this week, instead resulting in Christopher unexpectedly falling headfirst into the pool and realizing firsthand why he hasn’t…
Mar 11, 2016: Big Brother
So that thing I wrote about last week? The thing that resulted in enormous stress over the last eight days??? …well… APPARENTLY IT WORKED!!!!! 😯 😯 😯 We ended up spending the day over at Epcot to help distract us from the anxiety, and then around 1:30pm the doctor’s office called to say that the…
Mar 7, 2016: Swim Class
I ended up going with Sara to take Christopher to swim class this morning because she’s not supposed to do any lifting for the next week while we give the embryos a chance to take hold, and it never ceases to amaze me how much they’ve been able to teach him at such a young…
Mar 3, 2016: Frozen Babies
I think this is one of my favorite photo ops of all-time … because really, how many parents can boast pictures of their children when they were literally just a ball of rapidly dividing cells only a few days after conception?! 😯 Today is a rather important day in our latest IVF adventure, in which…
Mar 2, 2016: Seriously, Kid?
I guess this is what comeuppance looks like between dog and child. I honestly don’t even know who to side with anymore because she’ll steal food off his high chair, then he’ll jump on her back and try to ride her like a horse, then she’ll take one of his toys and tear it into…
