[About two days after Dave forcibly confiscated Addie J's Taggies and washed them over her strenuous objections] ADDIE J [snuggled up to some Taggies]: MMMM, Daddy! These smell good now, because they’re stinky again! [Spoiler: no. They don't.] ****************** JULIE: Oh hey, look, Dave: you know how there’s so much written on the calendar that we can never figure out [...]  email this post...Category: Dave, Family, Random Moments, The "J" / Comments: 2 comments and counting 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... 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. [...] email this post...Category: Cameron, Dave, Family, Gabby, Random Moments, The "J" / Comments: Be the first... Gabby came running into the house the other day. I was on the phone, so she waited, visibly vibrating with excitement. When I got off she said, “MOM!!! MOM!!! Can I have some ice cream from the ice cream truck?!?!!?!” “Not today,” I said, mentally cursing the ice cream truck and the [...] We all know that Addie J is prone to dressing herself up in random outfits. But she’s added the extra-special step of walking up to me, striking a pose, cocking her head, and crooning, “Stylish!!!!!” I’ve asked her several times who taught this to her, and she’s being pretty cagey. I also [...] email this post...Category: Culture, Family, Hot Mess of the Week, Random Moments, The "J" / Comments: Be the first... The following is an original joke by Addie J. She told it to my mom, who promptly told me, and I was dying laughing. ADDIE: Grandma, knock knock. [repeat many more times, and then:] MOM: Who’s there? If you’ll be in the Chicago area tomorrow, tune in the Cubs game in the afternoon, because get this: my brother Mikey will be throwing out the first pitch– a wedding gift from his brand-new wife Erin!! Throwing out the first pitch at a Cubs game is Mikey the sports fanatic’s childhood dream, so it’s a good example [...] …of things Addie J has cut with scissors in the last few days: 1. Cameron’s soccer net in the back yard 2. The lace bottoms of her black leggings 3. The blinds on her bedroom window (Dave. Was. Livid.) 4. Any and every piece of paper in the house, including things like bills and my 501K statement 5. The silk tag from [...] email this post...Category: Dave, Family, Gabby's Artwork, Random Moments, The "J" / Comments: Be the first... Before I begin, I feel the need to point out that, a week or two ago, Cam’s friend Louden told me that I was “the best cook of all my friends’ moms.” To be truthful, he said it about a peanut butter sandwich made with creamy peanut butter– which I specifically bought for when Louden comes over– but I prefer [...] email this post...Category: Cameron, Family, Food, Gabby, Random Moments, The "J" / Comments: Be the first... …..if Addie J wiped out in a department store today and my first, surprised reaction was to laugh? I mean, if you take into account that she’s fine; she just got up and kept walking; she didn’t notice me laughing; and it was a really, really spectacular wipeout including full-body contact with the floor and that [...] email this post...Category: Family, Hot Mess of the Week, Random Moments, The "J" / Comments: 5 comments and counting |
