What’s Up Now, Chuck?

So I know the Chuck Norris-pinnacle-of-manliness joke ran its course a couple years ago and he’s now retired, deliberating with the Elders of Planet Beardatron and talking up his rock-breaking, baby-making exploits…. BUT the dude still repelled a full-scale terrorist invasion, lead Delta Force on a missile-firing motorcycle AND loosens up his shoulders for fun …

Happy National Pumpkin Recognition Day

Sure, I suppose I could call it Halloween but then in 6 months when I post to Vintonville again this post is going to be very, very dated. I guess with pumpkins you’re kinda screwed either way.
So here it is, the official Vintonville family ala pumpkin. Heyo!

Quotables: Little Dude and All The Hubbubalub

Another installment +1 of the ongoing adventures in the lexicon wonderland of Little Dude Vinton… with Little Sis Vinton now officially added to the mix. That said, if you thought previous Quotables were getting long, this one takes the cake at 22+. Grab a cushy, lumbar-friendly chair and maybe a meal to get you through. …

Dirty Girl

We went camping this last weekend which, if you’re doing it right, should never be a dirt-free experience. Unless you’re a sissy.
Needless to say, I was a proud Papa when I saw Little Sis embrace my “camping-is-by-definition-dirty” theory with two-year-old enthusiasm and run away with it. Luckily, Lady-Friend snapped this pic as we found Little …

Birdies

So besides the good-for-nothin’, ingrate teenage chickens running around the yard and squawking like they’re dying if I so much as look at those turds cross-eyed (I’m working on that run, neighbors, I SWEAR) we also had a couple Swallows build a nest on our front porch. We’re a regular aviary.
As the Swallows built the …

Toothless

So Little Dude has officially lost his first tooth due to natural causes as opposed to his Papa dropping him while playing in the mall at two years old. Ugh– my guilt complex on that one puts the Mariana Trench to shame. Moving on.
So Little Dude’s lower tooth has been “wiggly” for the last few …

It’s In The Eyes

OK, this may come off like it’s a little bit of gushing and that’s because, well, it kind of is considering I’m a Dad and there’s this unwritten bond between Dad and daughter and gun that I’m seeing congeal more and more as the days go on.  Lady-Friend snapped these pics of Sis just hanging …

Quotables: Little Dude and The 10 Day Knock-Out

Another installment of the ongoing adventures in the lexicon wonderland of Little Dude Vinton. Little Sis Vinton is totally on the cusp of entry here, but “Oooooh… maaaaaaaaan!!” and “Papa! Lesgo! C’mon!” while super cute, don’t need much explanation. Until then…

Little Dude had a bad day at school yesterday. And …

Poser

So way back on Valentine’s Day I gave Lady-Friend a little somethin’ for her photo-takin’ skillz… because, you know, knothing says “lurv” like a lighting set-up. Of course, you know one of the first test subjects would be Little Dude and as it turns out he was kind of into it, throwing himself 110% into …

Quotables: Little Dude and The Friend of Harry Potter

Another installment of the ongoing adventures in the lexicon wonderland of Little Dude Vinton.
So here’s a top-to-bottom high five for Little Dude’s Kindergarten teacher who–I think– while we work on manners at home, is also reenforcing them at school. I say that only because the other night, after Little Dude …
