This is what most every Wednesday morning is like at my house. It’s really a lot of fun. What I love about this video is that Nolan gets bored or tired half-way through and Liam mimics him. But when Nolan lays down, Liam really busts out his best movies

As I type this the teeny Tibbles are “polishing” up the mailcart. They say it’s like washing a car but more fun, because it smells better. Thank you mailcart and Method.

I watched all three pairs of eyes widen with delight as they heard the big Culligan truck back onto my street.
“What’s that?” Cade climbed onto the La-Z-Grrl to get a good look out the window.
“That’s the Culligan Man, he’s bring fresh water,” I said.
“I need to look out the door.” Liam fumbled with the [...]

So what, a person updates their site like everyday for three months and then skips three days and it’s like she’s dead? Nah. I just feel like I am. Living with a gaggle of Knee-high Infection DisseminatorS can really lay a person out. I’m a shut-in. I’m not used to all these germs. I long [...]

Dear Pink Panther & Huckleberry Hound,
Thank you. For some inexplicable reason you have managed to keep the two tiniest Tibbles’ attention for an entire 38 minutes.
In heaven,
Jodi

I’m a morning music listener. There’s nothing more I like to do after watching Dude Weather is crank a few tunes. Since the Tibbles have been here, I’ve been slowing acclimating them to this morning music. They love it. Specifically, they love to listen to “Ring of Fire.” Three-year-old Liam knows all the words by [...]

I stumbled downstairs this morning before work, hoping to talk to Sister #3 about our plans for the day. We’re going to be taking this one day at a time for right now.
As soon as I sat down in the La-Z-Grrl, Liam was at my side. He hugged my thigh. “I woll you.”
“What?” I [...]

First with Liam, who is two:
“Ouch you are on my arm,” I said.
“There are two puppies,” he said, pointing to the TV that was playing Pound Puppy Adventures or something like that. “Two. He fell and hurt his hand. That’s a big shrragon.”
“Dragon?” I asked.
“Big dragon. Oh no he is going to eat the puppy. [...]

Bedtime: 1:50 a.m.
Waketime: 7:28 a.m.
Goals for the day: Move the mattress up into the still empty master bedroom, grocery shop, stay awake.
Instead of braving the shiny, ice-coated streets to go wrap gifts at the Barnes & Noble with FFJ, I Tibble-sat and spent the morning arguing with Cade, Nolan, and Liam about who was the [...]

I don’t have much to say today. I’m kind of tired and cranky. The only thing I want to do is get back to reading My Date with Satan not only because I am enjoying it, but it is giving me ideas and with my next short story due in exactly seven days I need [...]

Here’s the good thing about being an Aunt: you can cover your nephews with superhero tattoos.

And you don’t have to worry about them going to school, because they aren’t your kids.

Last night, because we didn’t see enough of each other at the Fair on Thursday, the Sisterclub gathered at Sister #3’s house for a little round robin Guitar Hero.
None of us really know what a round robin tournament is but that’s what we call our game. Basically, two people play and the winner gets to [...]
