Just a Sample
My last 15 minutes are a good indicator of what life is like with my 3 active little boys. 1. I catch Jude making himself a pizza directly on the glass microwave plate in the microwave. 2. Asher writes with permanent black marker on the white kitchen cabinets. 3. Jude yells, “Emergency, emergency, emergency.” I race downstairs …
Jude’s Quote of the Day
Jude was expressing how cool it is that my mom, Grandma Forbes, has reddish (not gray) hair even though she is a grandma. After letting him go on and on for awhile discussing all the gray haired grandmas he knows and how special his red haired grandma is, I finally disclosed that she dyes her …
Levi’s Quote of the Day

The boys were in the backyard and Jude saw his next door neighbor, Belle. He invited her over. She responded that she couldn’t come over because her dad said she has to stay in her yard. Jude said, “Then why don’t you ask your mom?”
Jude’s Quote of the Day
Jude sure knows how to win an argument. He and Levi were arguing back and forth about something — maybe Angry Birds — and Jude finally said, “Don’t say ‘but’ or anything. I’m going to come up with an argument so you are just wasting your time.” Levi obediently hushed up and didn’t even try …
