I found THIS
If you had a random smattering of five children at the beach, one of which included KP.
Which one would find the knife that was left in the sand and want to play with it?
Yup…you guessed right.
And then, what would you picture happening next?
Yup…you guessed it.
Just another Life Lesson.

Once again I found myself at baseball last night, our new beloved pastime. I sat on the bleachers with my in-laws, PJ running about the park with her new girlie friends and KP trying his hardest to find someone who would give him money to feed his candy addiction. Lucky enough, Papa was there to give the kid 25 cents.
After his injection of neon green icee that spilled all over his white shirt and a spattering of drool from the bright blue airhead juice, he sat down in the dirt and dust of the ball park to pull some weeds, that turned into a bouquet for me.
He brought them over and climbed up into my lap. He looked down at the mess that was all over himself and said, “Mom, I need a bath.”
I responded, “Oh, we’ll get you all cleaned up tomorrow at swim lessons.”
The mom sitting next to me burst out laughing and said, “Well…at least you have a plan!”

Dad, husband, father-in-law…whatever kind of daddy you are, have a GREAT day.
Happy Father’s Day!

Seriously…I’m not sure if I would want to live at my house if I were a kid.
We have kicked off the summer with cleaning chores for everyone, everyday. Why should I have to do it all? Once said chores are done, we can move onto fun times.
Now we have also started our Summer Adventure List and the hope is we choose one fun thing to do a week (depending on the week). These things range from bike rides to the Sculpture Garden to The MOA to hiking and going to the zoo.
But then there is this fighting that keeps happening. So we have made a rule.
Rule: If you fight and you can’t resolve it, BOTH parties go to their room and stay there until I say they can come out. I have found waiting until the next meal allows them to really think about what they have done.
How this summer goes is totally up to the choices these kids make. Get along…we will do real fine. Fight…you will find out just how much paint was put on the walls of your room.
I’ll keep you posted.

I don’t know much about the Dad’s father, he died before I was born.
But the two things that I do know are these: he worked as a bellhop for most of his life at a very fancy hotel in Ohio and he always told my dad to make sure to check a woman’s teeth before he married her.

That horrid nasty wretch of a creature, how on earth could she have forgotten my baby girl’s front tooth? Leaving her sobbing and heaving with tear soaked sheets this morning.
It must have been the weather.
