Groceries with Six plus the Zoo

April 29, 2008 – 6:20 pm

Ahhh, busy week around here. I can always tell when I’m feeling better because the house all of a sudden looks really messy and drives me bananas. Saturday morning I spent three or four hours cleaning out the big kids’ trash trap of a bedroom. Four garbage bags full of broken toys and miscellaneous paper [...]

Hellboy and Toothless Girl

April 1, 2008 – 3:57 pm

Call Marvel; we have new superheroes. Well, since Hellboy is already on the roster and Toothless Girl’s superpower skillset sounds rather dubious, I guess we’ll just have to keep these two for ourselves.
Henry is doing great. He does do one funny thing though. When he starts crying, he turns this color:

Happily he’s lacking the [...]
