It never fails, no matter how many toys or outdoor activities we plan, the guys will inevitably get bored during school break. When I say guys I mean all three…big, teenage and little. I’m sure that I am not the only one who’s bombarded with huffs, puffs and dramatic sighs during school break. So I […]

Chicken Neck Dance-Monkeying Around

November 29, 2011

Not quite Mick Jagger moves but I can dig it. What can I say, we’re a goofy silly bunch who has discovered YouTube. Be afraid y’all, we aren’t shy nor do we mind sharing our self deprecating humor :D Xoxo, Shari-Tickled Red

The boys had their last lacrosse game on Sunday so I thought I would give you guys a little recap. If you’ve never watched a lacrosse game before they start of with two middies (middle of the field players). They square off. Standing toe to toe. Face mask to face mask. Shuffling their mouth guards […]

Last week my baby turned 9 years old. Evidently he didn’t take me seriously when I said Eight was Enough. I know it seems a bit late in the game to be talking about his birthday but it has taken me this long to cope. It occured to me that this is the last single digit birthday that […]

For the past few weekends DS has been working on a shed over by the garden and of course with the weather being so nice the monkeys have been helping him, or so I thought. Kids, you’ve got to love their ingenuity. Give them a few scrape pieces of wood, some boards, water coolers, a […]

I’m not thinking about it.

I have been walking around in a fog and have not thought about anything this weekend. No cooking, baking, shenanigans or anything. All is quiet here because I have turned off my brain. It was a necessity in order to get through this weekend. Otherwise I would’ve been a big puddle of maternal mush in […]

Monkey vs Ground (0-1)

September 11, 2010

Today as I enjoyed a leisurely afternoon of playing my favorite game of Catch-Up I sent the monkeys outside to play. You know, being a good mom and keeping the grey matter IN their brains rather than leaking out of their ears from overexposure to video games. Sun, fun and friends just what every little […]

Shakespeare, Monkeys & Fun.

September 7, 2010

With the boys back in school I have been looking back at what we did this summer, perusing some of our photos. This year our summer seemed to fly by faster than usual. I know, it seems that way for us all each year but this one just felt different. We usually fit in a […]

Flying Monkeys

June 30, 2010

Some days it pays to stay home and not see what my younger brother is doing with my children. Especially with my baby. My littlest. My sweetie. My mostly shy boy. The one who used to hide behind my legs when meeting new people. The one who still has little fingers and toes to kiss […]

Brotherly Love

June 4, 2010

My boys are 4 years apart and you would hardly know it. They are thick as thieves. And even though they march to the beat of their own drum they harmonize wonderfully together. When it comes to exploring life’s wonders, sharing secrets and walking the land of fantasies these two guys are shoulder to shoulder […]
