Actual conversations between the Mouse and I, over the course of the prior 3 days: Mouse: “Daddy, do Kings pick apples?” Me: I dunno, honey, I guess they could if they wanted apples straight from an orchard. Why? Mouse: “Because if a King picked apples, that would be random.” …then, […]
= hours upon hours of imagination-expanding f…f…FUN! Months back I scoffed at the idea of spending $100+ on a stupid cardboard box. In that piece I advocated spending a little extra to get a new refrigerator, which always comes with a complimentary, sturdy box. I totally forgot that a lawn […]
***Thursday P.M. Update*** The pearl is in the wiver! Umm, yeah. The Bear is back at school. She and we have survived field trip numero uno. This was the first day of many more to come of our little girl venturing out into the world with nary a family member […]

The Bear turns 4 (holy crap!) this coming Sunday. We wanted so badly to have her party at World Cafe Live on 3/16 for the Justin Roberts show but it would wind up costing close to $600 which is flat-out insane. Then we looked for something else original and fun […]
