Not even cardboard is safe in our house.

Dad, Watch More TV

I promise we don't watch that much TV. We maybe watch a half hour while we eat our dinner -- it's about the only time we do watch the tube.

I also deny kissing the dog, Moki. Well, maybe a few times. But not on the lips.

Our oldest wrote this note shortly before we moved into our new house this time last year. It just surfaced again as my wife was sorting through some stuff.

Happy Crowd

How could you not be happy if you looked out your window and saw this happy group staring back at you. Okay, so maybe if they were all staring at you including back row, second from right, with the flip-do -- that might be a little disconcerting. But you'd survive. Though I can't tell if the kid in the orange shirt is really a kid or some kind of effigy of a kid that the two in front are holding up, along with their unique "Kids" sign. Okay, this is starting to get a little scary.

An unusual medium for our kids -- markers. Not that they don't like markers. They just don't like putting lids back on the markers, so they're always all dried out at our house.
