Sometimes, especially Halloween, I can’t help but think I’ve somehow ruined my children. Every year since they’ve been old enough to pick their own costumes, they’ve gone as something so obscure and webby that we end up having to explain it at every house we go to. That’s doubly true since we moved to Savannah… Continue reading Years of Costumes We Have to Explain to Everybody

The boys
The kids have had a fantastic couple of days. At school on Friday, Brian was recognized for achieving High Honor Roll and perfect attendance and Max was recognized for achieving High Honor Roll, perfect attendance, and was his class’s Super Hawk, which is the best all-around student. YAY school!\ At soccer on Saturday, Brian received… Continue reading The boys
Bus change = more talky time
The school changed the bus pick up time. It is now 90 minutes before school starts. Isn’t that ridiculous? I offered to drive the kids to school because that extra hour in traffic is stupid. (We live 3 miles from the school!!) However, Brian wanted to still ride the bus, but Max wanted me to… Continue reading Bus change = more talky time
Two cute boys!
I’ve been messing with photoshop again and the results are fantastic! Never will I have to worry about one kid not smiling at the right time again! (Knock on wood.) I started out with two pictures, where the kids were smiling in separate pics: and I turned it into one cute pic of the both… Continue reading Two cute boys!
A TV show made for me!!
I saw a commercial for the tv show, My Kid Is Smarter Than Me. This isn’t a jokey show like Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?, it’s a reality show about kiddie-geniuses and how their parents try to keep up with them, keep them grounded, and well-rounded. Sounds like something Kevin and I should… Continue reading A TV show made for me!!
Mississippi Fun Time!
I hope I don’t kill y’all’s computers. More cute pics! While visiting my parents, we went to Pep’s Point which has water slides, a river to swim in, canoeing, a couple of docks to jump from, and various other games. Since I wasn’t swimming with them, I made each kid wear a life jacket. They… Continue reading Mississippi Fun Time!
Parenting Highs, Max edition
A couple of weeks ago Max participated in the State Science Olympiad competition at Kennesaw University, just north of Atlanta. Max was able to participate because he and his partner took first place in his event, Simple Machines, in the district competition (which had over 30 schools participate) and his school won the Overall First… Continue reading Parenting Highs, Max edition
Little Boys and Little Dogs
My friend Brad invited us to his awesome Derby Day party – and we had a great time. The boys got to play with his 10 week old puppy, Rocky. As you can see, they loved every minute of it. And here are the rest of the pics of the boys being boys. Enjoy!

This is Halloween from several years ago. Brian is a dinosaur and Max is a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup (which he hates, btw, ha!)
Report cards came today!
Brian is doing well in school. The kindergartners don’t get a regular letter grade. Instead, they are evaluated on 100+ skills and knowledge. He’s right where he should be for most things, with a few he excels at and a few he’s still working on. The one “area of concern” is when the routine is… Continue reading Report cards came today!
