It’s a little hard to read, but Zach found this sign on the Urinal at the local Iceberg. Ironically, instead of referring patrons to the nearby toilet, this sign suggests they use the sink.

This is what the sky looked like this morning. When Isaac saw the sky he said "Mom, I can see Africa. . .Lets watch for the penguins."

Another one of those books I stumbled on and bought, and I’m glad I did. Even though the events occurred more than 40 years ago, it’s still the same fight being fought, with nearly all the same players (except the USSR, and perhaps Iraq, barring any foolishness after the election. Russia still has a role [...]

Time for another book review. I’m not sure how I stumbled on this particular book, but it’s a very interesting look at the film industry. It’s a quick read, in an engaging style, and has some great thoughts about the nature of drama and what’s wrong with movies in America. Mamet describes the process of [...]

I don’t think my words will give the experience full effect, but they’re all I’ve got so here goes.
Perhaps we should have taken him to the church ahead of time so he could discover all the workings of the folding seat before the program started, but who knows if we could have ever satiated [...]

I should be congratulated for not spending too much money because I was seriously tempted to spend $100 and get several more poses, but alas common sense won over and I just spent $10. I suppose I should be happy with the more than 10,000 pictures on flickr that cost me nearly nothing.

Well, it’s come time to blog about the event that family insiders have referred to as "the singing." You’ll have to ask Zach for more details if my description is lacking, but here’s how it happed from my perspective. Zach was starting up the gas grill on Monday night as I was playing with the [...]

I just love to be outside with my kids. I can’t stand to be outside when it’s too hot so there are probably months in the summer when I don’t take the kids outside at all, but on days when it’s nice, I just can’t stay in. These are the days I neglect all my [...]

When Isaac was 6 months old the Doctor asked me if he was sleeping through the night. When I told him ‘no’ he advised me to just let him cry when he woke up in the night. The first two nights were horrible and he cried and cried, but after getting up 4-5 times a [...]

Charlotte woke up one morning with particularly bad hair. I honestly didn’t tease it or do anything to make it look worse, she just woke up with her hair looking like this and when I saw it I was amused and had to take a picture and today when I saw the picture I [...]

Nicole participated in a study on Thursday at the BYU infant development lab. They’re studying different auditory-visual responses in 5 month olds. Nicole’s test involved wearing this lovely electrode hat and watching a video. She did rather well and proved to have a good attention span, but was not well pleased when they placed the [...]

I’ve got some strategies for avoiding the grocery store begging that plagues many mothers of young children. First of all, my kids know that when I say no at the grocery store I never give in. Although I’d like to claim that this is because I’ve mastered the element of consistency in parenting, I [...]

Can you believe we just had our first snow of the year? It seems way too early. Isaac and Charlotte were thrilled and bugged me all morning to let them go out and play. Once the baby fell asleep I took them out and let them run around and make snowballs while I attempted [...]

So here’s a few more comments from this morning to go with last night’s post:
"It’s snowing! It’s snowing! It’s Christmas!!" –Isaac said this as he excitedly danced around the house just after viewing snowflakes falling this morning.
"I want stinky underwear!!!" Charlotte cried this over and over upon having her soiled underwear changed. Given the [...]

I’m sure it’s not often the wish of many to be a fly on the wall in our house (although there have been a few flies in the house entertaining cats, but my hand-held-battery-powered-tennis-racket-shaped-fly-zapper seems to have alleviated that problem). Here are some of the things you might have heard if you were that [...]

"You like this kind of car so you would buy it?"
"There’s a special checkout for the car, you can drive it up and buy it."
Isaac built this car the other day and then he was so pleased with it that he talked about it continuously as he followed me around the house. The [...]

For some reason I couldn’t view or post on Virtute for a few days so I should have multiple posts today :) I’ll see how many I can post before the baby on my lap starts wiggling too much.
