Life With Boys

The mis-adventures of two crazy boys and their bleary eyed parents.


Yankee Doodle Dandy?

At a garage sale last summer I got a box of about 50 kids audio tapes — a great deal if you have a tape player still. Anyway, in the car we were listening to a sing-along version of “Yankee Doodle” which of course could not be accepted as just a funky little song by Morgan.

“What color was the feather in his hat?”

“Why would you call a feather macaroni?”

“Who is Yankee Doodle?

“What does dandy mean?”

OMG — Of course “My bonnie lies over the ocean” was the next little ditty.

About Me

I started this site so my mom could get news about her grandkids without me having to walk her through the process of trying to open and email attachment several times a week.  Since then she has passed away and I’ve fallen off the blog wagon, but I’m inspired to pick it up again now.
