Levi’s Quote of the Day
Levi, who wants to be an astronaut, told me this morning, “Mommy, the sun is made out of hot gases.”
Our Bad Little Good Boy
Our 2 year old, Asher, is trouble. He doesn’t listen. He bullies his brothers. And, his latest trick is to drag a chair or a ride-on car over to the counter, climb on the counter and get into the steak knives. To our horror, he recently stabbed a tomato with a knife he had grabbed. …
Asher’s Quote of the Day

Cleaning Competition
