Life With Boys

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

  • Eavesdropping …

    I just found this note to myself from my time in the airport at the beginning of the month. The gentleman behind me was talking with the woman sitting next to him and he told her his “full time job is to find happiness everyday.” Maybe it is something we can all aspire to. Continue reading

  • It’s Never Good When They Tell You Help Is On The Way …

    Last Monday the gas company came out to replace our meter (why they needed to do this, I don’t know.) So about 15 minutes after the service person arrived he knocked on the door to tell me, “the good news is help is on the way.” When you’re playing with gas, that isn’t necessarily good… Continue reading

  • Conditioned response

    It seems Callie (the cat) has been reading up on Psychology between her morning and afternoon naps. She has trained Matt and I to get up and feed her when WAY TO EARLY in the morning when she starts playing tether ball with the lamp (it’s one of those pull chain deals). And if we… Continue reading

  • Pinewood Derby — On a roll (pun intended)

And they are already making design modifications for next year. In case you can’t tell Morgan has a pick-up truck (like Dad’s) and Tyler… Continue reading

  • So does this make sense?

    I feel guilty about not blogging. I feel guilty about not keeping my “followers” updated regularly. I feel guilty that I’m not capturing my children’s youth. But you know what? I just don’t’ know how to keep up. Between telling the boys how many Lego’s/Pokemon/toys to pick-up and just trying to keep my head above… Continue reading

  • Year-End Clean-Up …

    In the past week I’ve had several people make inquiries about archiving movies (VHS, 8mm, 16 mm) and photos (negs and slides). Here are the services I’ve had very good luck with, at affordable prices. Movies: Home Movie Depot http://www.homemoviedepot.com/ And right now they are running a 15% off deal. (I tried Walgreen’s and was… Continue reading

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.
