Life With Boys

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


  • It’s so sad that I just got an email from Tyler’s teacher telling me his shoe just self destructed and he’s going to spend the rest of the day running round in his socks (at least the socks have bats on them.) Continue reading

  • Introspection …

    For a recent class assignment I had to do some introspection.

About Me
