After having to vacuum up crumbs from under the table, picking up 4 toys, taking out the recycling and then picking up some stuffed animals that he took out, “What am I, a Cinderella?” (His brothers wouldn’t lift a finger to help him and I only got him to move by threatening to delay his nerf …

Warning for Jude’s Future Wife
So, I was telling Jude that if he ever gets married and his wife has a baby in her tummy that he’ll just have to be her little slave boy and do whatever she wants — get her ice cream, clean the house, etc. He said, “No way. I’m never doing that.” If the apple …
Titus’ Buddy or Our Buddy

Bike Rodeo Grand Prize
So, yesterday Jude convinced me to let him and Levi skip their last swimming lesson in the frozen water of Sandburg. I had recently called to cancel summer lessons there and successfully negotiated myself out of the $30 cancellation fee, using the argument that I didn’t want to cancel but was being forced to cancel due …
Jude’s Quote of the Day
Jude, advocating for why I should make him a 2nd dinner at almost 11 o’clock tonight, “Sometimes I pinch myself to see if I am fat and it hurts really bad.”
