Girl Food

The Princess and I had a girls only slumber party last week. In addition to all the requisite girl stuff, like hair, make-up, and nails, we partook of what Raegan now proclaims to be "Girl Food."

Now, for those of you who are not acquainted with the delicacies, girl food is "coptail" shrimp and cheesecake. Hey, I can't argue with that!

Crash Watkins



I got this recently from Carey:

Brady had another accident - this time while in the bathtub. He slipped and busted his chin open, which was, of course, on a day when I am not home and on duty up in Petaluma.

I get called down to the quarterdeck over the pipe (aka intercom to normal society) and as I wander down, I'm thinking 'uh oh' what have I done wrong. Once there, I discover a message from Brandy that Brady has fallen and busted open his chin. Since I had the only functioning vehicle, I had to race home....or she could call 911 and they would take him, but not her or the other boys. She didn't much like that idea.

Needless to say Brady had a pretty big gash under his chin about an inch or so in length. We stayed at the hospital for about two hours. The doctors super-glued his chin back together. Since Brady was there about a month ago getting the screw removed from his nose, he remembered getting ice cream when he left and asked the nurse for some more ice cream on our way out the door.

We are now home, getting everyone to bed and trying to relax, since I still have school tomorrow.

The fun of raising little boys......;-)

Which Comes First...The Chick or the Egg?


Raegan, The Princess, was cheerfully eating her breakfast at our house last weekend. She'd ordered two hard boiled eggs and a piece of toast. Daniel had already eaten his breakfast when he meandered over to The Princess, just as she devoured the last bite of egg, and stated: "Hey Raegan, the yellow part would have been the chick."

Well, all right then...
