Bruce Lee continued his quest for karate nirvana. He tested on Tuesday night for his brown belt. I’m still amazed how far he has come…shy little kid to confident 1st grader, pretty cool to see. I know one thing, in a few more belts, daddy better watch his wrestling matches.
Last weekend, we were lucky to see the Wizard of Oz in the city. Thanks Pop Pop. This is the second play that the boy has seen, or as he says “movie”. I remember being a kid and being quiet frightened by the Witch of the West. Z not so much. He actually clapped when …
Today, daddy ran the Turkey Trot at school and placed 2nd overall. For his part, the little guy refused to run..although daddy sure did give it a try with him. These two crack me up sometimes. Laughing one minute..at each other’s neck the next. For example, they played war yesterday. Z was super excited with …
Chickie arrived from the North Pole last night. He promptly jumped on our tree train for his grand introduction. Someone was super excited…and by someone, I don’t mean the boy. You see, with the arrival of Chickie, the “better be a good boy” becomes much more serious. And oh boy that makes mommy happy. Now, …
This year, we went back to making turkey at home. Doesn’t it always taste better at home? We actually prepped for many more people, but my parents couldn’t come at the last minute. That didn’t stop us from cooking a 27 pound turkey! What I love about our family is the willingness to help. It …
Zachary will be competing again in another tournament. So it’s been a week filled with lots of karate. This time he’s going to do a form and weapon. When we arrived early on Tuesday, Master Q had the little guy do his weapon form. He couldn’t stop saying “WOW”. And then he turned to me …
On Tuesday, the Amish arrived to start our shed (or should I say small barn. We’ve struggled with storage for years in our garage…lawn stuff, pool stuff, the boy’s stuff. Clearly, we were due for more room. And thus began our quest for a shed. Now mind you, a small shed would not do. So, …
This week, mommy visited the little guy’s class for parent participation day. We have an awesome teacher. She had a fashion show where the kids wore different customs and had to get up in front of everyone to describe them. So in other words, the boy got his first exposure to public speaking. I wasn’t …
Lastweekend, we headed down to the stadium to watch the Sixers play Cleveland. Can’t take the Ohio out of mommy. I had to watch LeBron. Haven’t watched him play live since high school. The little guy was more into the food. Daddy came back with a cherry water ice…and as expected it went all over …
Today, mommy and the little guy headed out for our own adventure. We headed to Sahara Sam for some indoor water fun. Someone really loved the big bucket dumping water on him. Mommy was more into the slides. We laughed the whole way down them
