What is Blogday?
Well, I’m new to this, so I’m not quite sure. But here’s a description I found on several blogs (so I’m guessing it’s the Official One):
BlogDay was initiated with the belief that bloggers should have one day which will be dedicated to know other bloggers, from other countries or areas of interests. […]

When I bought Jane’s very first box of crayons, I decided to buy the “washable” kind.
Standing in Target, I imagined accidental marks on clothes, carpet, and furniture, and considered the possibility of Jane intentionally coloring on the wall.
I shuddered at the thought of waxy crayon permanently lodged in the fibers of the carpet and in […]

This was the verbal description of our fun and exciting trip to Jungle Adventures.
THIS is the photographic description:
This is the bridge where we watched alligators being fed. It’s also the entrance to the “adventure.” Little did we know!
This is a real, live alligator whose head is covered in duckweed. No, I don’t have a telephoto […]

First it was the licking of the shoes incident.
Now this.
Here are the facts:
1) Jane and I had ham sandwiches and Cheetos for supper tonight.
2) For those of you that don’t already know this, Cheetos cheese powder comes off on your fingers and turns them orange.
3) A quick wipe of the hands with […]

Today (Friday) is Paul’s day off.
We’re always looking for something fun to do with our girls on Fridays; we have the time, and parks and zoos and such aren’t nearly as crowded on Fridays as they are on Saturdays. And, of course, Sundays are out.
During trips to Titusville to meet with a fellow Youth Director, […]

I’ve got to start going to bed earlier.
(hat-tip to Pastor Tim at cybersalt.org for the great clean laughs and the funny cat pictures that helped me waste [I mean, spend] a good half an hour when I should’ve been napping. Check him out! )

Apparently this post just will not die.
The reason I know this is because AT LEAST 10 visits a day come from people around the world who get to “The Catbird Seat” by typing in “peeing” on Google or another search engine. The resulting image is the image to the right (click to enlarge), which […]

…is what I need to practice.
Here’s a sample from my conversations with Jane.
“It’s not nice to talk to your friends like that.”
“There’s a reason why you’re not allowed to [fill in the blank here]”
“Big girls don’t whine.”

Heard tonight while playing Yahtzee with Carlos, Ben and Amy:
Amy, to group: “My top is doing good, but my bottom is killing me.”
and…
Ben, to Cathy: “Let me see your bottom!”
Paul, to Ben: “Did you just ask to see my wife’s bottom?”
Ben, to Paul: “Yes I did.”
Thanks, guys, for a great time. Sorry Carlos won’t ever […]

The other night Paul and I had a heated “discussion” that began at just before midnight and ended close to 2 a.m. By the time we found some resolution for the issue at hand, we were both exhausted.
Mid-way into the argument, at a point of silence, I looked over at Paul and said, “Are you […]
