Trick-or-Treat, Boybarian Style

October 30, 2007

Real Star Wars guys have taken over Iowa. Tonight they could be seen begging door-to-door. And I might be biased, but they were the cutest, errr most handsome creatures I had ever seen.
We weren’t sure little Trouble would go. But it had been 36 hours since his last incident. He had [...]

"Grrroooooooooossssss!"

October 29, 2007

“Mom! Trouble made another poopy puddle in the schoolroom!”
This was all screamed while my boss was going over goals and objectives for the rest of 2007 and getting started in 2008. Poor guy had to hear me threaten to gag and wretch and quickly mutter “I gotta go!”. He does NOT get [...]

When Mom’s Away…

October 23, 2007

… boybarians will play!
I spent a few days in Washington D.C. for work. I work for a big non-profit and we all assembled in The Capitol to help make change for America’s babies. It was also a conference for our volunteer leaders. It was a great event. I, the Joe Photo, [...]

Punkin’ Patch Ranch

October 14, 2007

Fall never feels like fall until we’ve hit a local pumpkin patch. This year was so much fun. We’re relatively new to our area; the local place was brand new to us. What a fun place. We made a Saturday appointment to meet our landscape designer – a young, smart girl [...]

Weekly Report 13

October 12, 2007

Can you hear the chorus of angels over Iowa?
Mark the calendars! Sing the Hallelujah chorus! Einstein has written his very first ever original sentences. He has never written an independent sentence before. So we’ve upped the focus around here on copywork. And much to my surprise, when I [...]

I did NOT run out of things to blog about.

October 11, 2007

Okay, I have to admit something about the blogosphere. I don’t really get this whole tag thing. I’ve been sent a few and conveniently ignored them (sorry, I have no blogo-manners. I was born in a barn. So was Jesus, so I think we’re good.) Why do people send them? [...]

Up he grows.

October 11, 2007

He’s four. He’s gorgeous. And now, he can reach the light switch.

It may seem like a small milestone – reaching the light switch. Ah… but the independence of this is huge. No more nearly peeing his pants because he’s afraid to go potty in the dark. No more screaming out [...]

Handy Man’s Box – The Reveal

October 6, 2007

Oh my, was that a lot of laughs. My tummy hurts! Sorry for the delay. It’s taken me over 2 hours to figure out how to publish a movie so you all could see it. The movie was too big for Blogger’s lame little movie feature.
In preparation for the event, Handy Man [...]

Geraldo’s Got Nothin’ on Handy Man

October 4, 2007

Do you remember when Geraldo, with his moustache and daytime TV dramatics, attempted to break open Al Capone’s vault? Okay, I don’t remember it; that was April 1986 and back then, I had pig tails and wore a red-white-and-blue plaid Catholic school uniform. The lore, however, of the fruitless 2-hour, live, prime-time tv [...]

Pretty Pretty Boybarians

October 2, 2007

Update on The Box (see below and vote!).
Handy Man thinks it was negligent of me to leave out the fact that his roommate was a girl. He thinks it might change the way you vote. “She was totally in love with me!” claims Handy Man (take that with a grain of, [...]

The Box

October 1, 2007

Handy Man is, verifiably, a pack rat. I’ve known this about him since we met. Well, maybe not the moment we met, but certainly the moment we shared a home for the first time. Everything I could call my own back then fit in the trunk of a 1993 Dodge Intrepid. [...]
