Four!

Apparently, even weekly is too much.  I’ll try to be by more often, but with naps a thing of the past, I feel like my free time has vanished.  I try to sneak by when I can, even if I don’t comment.

Vocations and Aspirations

While we were home last week, Nana (my mother) asked Knute what Puppy does for a living:
“Knute, what does Daddy do?”
The response:
“He makes things.  He builds things.”
Well, the Rocket Scientist does sorta build things that go boom!, okay.  We’ll give him that.
Nana asked Knute what Holly does for a living:
“Knute, what does Mommy do?”
The [...]

I Got A Grey Hair or Two Tonight

When I go about my day-to-day, there are many times Knute will say a phrase or a one liner, and I will stop and think, “I gotta remember to write that one down.” Invariably, there are so many I have missed over the years.  It’s a shame, really, because seeing into the mind of a [...]

El Burrito Sabanero

With multiple degrees between us, it only took the rocket scientist and I about three hours to figure out how to make the Flip work.  That’s pretty sad, isn’t it?  You asked for Knute LIVE!, so Knute LIVE! you will have.
He is the one first in line at the beginning.  You will hear him say, [...]

The Pilot & His Plane - Some Assembly Required

Hosted by Cecily and MamaGeek
Have you ever noticed as the Mommy, you are generally the one behind the camera?  I am actually in few pictures with Knute for this very reason. Last night, Puppy, Knute and I constructed an airplane out of his cardboard bricks.  My son, who looks freakishly like me, absolutely has his [...]

Hip to be Square

This is the month where we are supposed to reflect on all the gifts we’ve been given.   And, I’m thankful - I really, really am, but if next Monday resembles two days ago in any way, shape, or form?  I’m demanding an Elizabeth Arden day.
So, what happened on Monday?  All hell broke loose.  I’m going [...]

A Pirate’s Life for He

Here are gratuitous Halloween shots of my Knute.

I was just glad he said, “Trick or Treat.”

The hat & feather MADE his Captain Hook.

Do I like this kind of candy?  Why yes!  I do!

This Ain’t Rocket Science

Every Saturday Puppy and Knute spend some quality time together in what is known as Daddy-Son Funday.  Generally, every Friday night Puppy will ask, “What should I do with Knute tomorrow?” which elicits a deep snarl and fangs from me.  The first Saturday of the month is Home Depot day.  Any other weekend he’s asking [...]

Stop, Drop & Roll into a Fetal Position

The die is cast.  The cool, crispness in the air was a signal I couldn’t ignore any longer.  My son is officially a preschooler.  I have been updating my Facebook status daily with the amount of time until the big one hit.  But, I knew it was never really going to happen - how could it?  [...]

Herr Construction Worker

Hosted by Cecily and MamaGeek
Can I apologize for being so remiss?  I love both MamaGeek and Cecily, yet this is the first time I’ve joined in on their Photo Story Friday.  I am so sorry ladies.  I’m a lousy blog friend. 
I finally took a picture!  Can you believe it?  Neither can I.  I am embarrassed [...]
