This photo perfectly captures yesterday's zoo experience. I feel you, kid. I took the kids to the zoo yesterday, and can we all agree that the zoo is not the great, fun activity it always seems like it will be at the outset? Here are the events surrounding the zoo trip: 1. Took kids to Target [...]  email this post...Category: Cameron, Dining Out, Family, Food, Gabby, Random Moments, The "J" / Comments: 1 comment so far... …..from our last two days in the city. On Tuesday my mom, Jill and her girls accompanied us to the Field Museum. Then the kids and I plus Cammy’s friend stayed overnight downtown and spent Wednesday kicking around the city. Here is some of the crap that went down: 1. Addie started the trip by skidding [...] email this post...Category: Cameron, Culture, Dining Out, Family, Gabby, The "J" / Comments: 2 comments and counting We took the kids miniature golfing this evening– or more accurately, we took the kids “Whack a Golf Ball Repeatedly Into the Stream and Take Turns Realizing You Need to Poop”-ing this evening. On the way home, Gabby asked me if there was such a thing as mini golf when I was a kid.

They even roped in my nieces Olivia and Alaina yesterday. Here’s a brief synopsis: Gabby stands with her [...] email this post...Category: Cameron, Culture, Family, Gabby, Gabby's Artwork, The "J" / Comments: Be the first... Do you ever look at your children when they’re doing something insane– trying to balance a bouncy ball on his head in the middle of Target, or attempting to pull on some tights over a pair of Crocs, or sleeping peacefully in her pink satin sleep mask as though she is Zsa Zsa Gabor– and just [...] Dave spent most of Tuesday evening scrupulously scrubbing out Billy Bubble’s fish tank. Gabby even gave me a handwritten invitation to come to her room and bask in the glory. And yesterday, just as I was ready to take the kabobs off the grill, Addie J dumped a new container of fish food into that gloriously [...] email this post...Category: Cameron, Dave, Family, Food, Gabby, Gabby's Artwork, The "J" / Comments: 1 comment so far... So I went bowling last week with Cam and his class (side note: I bowled a strike on my first frame. I texted a friend: “Hey! I just bowled a strike!” and the response was, “The bumpers are up, I suppose?”). On my way out– walking with a couple of moms I didn’t know very [...] Please notice how I'm ignoring the way Addie J is trying to escape. Dave and I had been out the night before Mother’s Day (disastrous. Don’t even ask about it), so I was really appreciative of Dave not letting the kids wake me up at 6am for my “delicious breakfast.” Gabby’s card read, “Happy Mother’s Day!

Last night, Cameron brought me the medal he won in the 5K and said, “Since you helped me run this and we finished together, I think we should share this.” …And before you start to hate me for having the sweetest 9-year-old boy on the planet: this morning he was mad at me because I vetoed a hairstyle [...] This is Billy the Exterminator. His show is seriously random/ awesome/ insane. So Cammy ran his first 5K with me on Saturday. I had offered extra credit to my students if they ran it as well, with an extra couple of points if they beat us. One of my students did run the race, and [...] email this post...Category: Cameron, Culture, Dave, Family, Gabby / Comments: 1 comment so far... |
