Professional Stunt Boy. Do Not Attempt.

Unfortunately, Thomas suffered a near fatal wound, losing the use of all 6 of his wheels.  He is currently recovering in Maddox's room.

Next, stunt boy would like to attempt to land in the ball pit from the top bunk... stunt boy's manager STRONGLY advised him against this!

BUSTED!

On Thursday I was cruising down a 2 lane road, sunroof open, windows down, music cranked, there may have been some singing.  I was enjoying a couple hours of freedom, Madd was in school, Griffy at speech therapy.  It was so nice to not hear fighting from the back seat, or requests for me to use my bionic arms to pick up whatever toy was dropped on the floor of the car.    I was so happy that I was completely oblivious to the motorcycle cop who pulled up behind me with lights flashing.  When I did notice, I thought "he must be chasing someone and want me to get out the way".  Turns out I was the one he was chasing.  

The officer approaches my window... "Ma'am,  is there a medical emergency?  I clocked you going 60 in a 45."

"Wow, can I really use that as an excuse?"

No comment.

"No, officer... no medical emergency, where do I sign?"

   

Drive In

Maddox hosts a drive in movie for his trains and Transfomer.

DVD Burn

Maddox gives DVD  burning a whole new meaning.  I had assumed the 2 scratches on Madd's nose were battle wounds from a fight with Griffy.  I did think it was strange that they were perfectly straight.  I thought I'd ask Madd what happened: he thought it was really cool to lift the lid on the portable player and watch the DVD spin.  Next he wondered what it would feel like.  So, he put his nose up to the spinning DVD, but of course once was not enough.  Sorry I asked! 

Mission Accomplished

So, the mission was accomplished a few weeks ago - I'm still catching up!  We love having a diaper free house!!!

Jump On It

The title says it all!  We took the kids to a room filled with trampolines and cut them loose! Yes, I'm still catching up from Utah, even though I've been back for a month.

The adults did a little jumping too.  Although, after this Mike needed  a little Advil, because he kinked his neck.  I guess we have been out of high school for over 15 years!

Old School Fun

While were in Utah this summer, I took the boys to a couple of the places I loved growing up.  First we hit Classic Roller Rink, now known as the Classic Family Fun Center (it's changed a bit - for the better - since I was a kid).  My most vivid memory of Classic Roller Rink was holding hands with some random boy during the couples skate, my mom walked in to pick me up and I was mortified!  

Next, we hit Lagoon.  I can still remember the day when I threw up all over my shoes after riding the roller coaster.  Those middle school years were rough!  Luckily, everyone was able to keep their lunch down on this day!
