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 …
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 …
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 …
I don’t know if you heard, but we went to Moab recently. After a detour that never should have happened, we decided to make the best of it and hit up a pretty cool place that I can’t remember the name of now. Needless to say, it had lots of cliffs and sheer drops and …
Unfortunately for our kids, Vintonville is kind of slim on the sweet treats and desserts. And while that’s good for Mama and Papa’s physique, it’s not good for the sweet tooth. Still, Lady-Friend and I usually whip up a few treats for the kids and enjoy a protein shake/bars for our “treat”. When …
Here’s a couple snaps Lady-Friend caught during some playtime this afternoon. Sis is looking old.
Another installment of the ongoing adventures in the lexicon wonderland of Little Dude Vinton. NOTE: Quotables has been MIA since May. In the months since, Little Dude has grown a beard, moved out and now owns his own Social Media upstart somewhere in the Pacific Northwest.
Little Dude …
Lots and lots of months ago I heard about some magical, beer-sauce based lawn concoction. Apparently, you brew it up, pour it on the “dry yellow” spots and watch as your front yard welcome mat grows into a lush grass carpet of barefoot welcoming bliss. I never did try the recipe because, well, watering helps …
Mud is rad. You know, when you’re not trying to work in it. Or tracking it through your house. Or scraping it off your shoes. Or losing your car keys/loved ones in it. Ok, so mud is mediocre at best.
Still, for a couple five year olds with the green light to build a sloppy mud …
So Little Dude’s made hijacking the Flip Camcorder a regular occurrence- which is fine, because it’s pretty fun to discover them and get inside that kid’s head. Usually, his digital shanghais are nausea-inducing camera shakes and “Woo-woo-wooooooing”, but this time, when it comes to filming a stunt off the recliner, things are very deliberate.
For a …
