For Those Of You Who Love Veggie Tales. And Are Addicted To The Office.

You will laugh. You will cry. Because you are laughing SO HARD. Enjoy!

And on a more serious note, a ballad on the Jim/Pam romance:

They’re Conspiring Against Me

Olivia: Watch Veggie Tales now?
Me: No, let’s watch it later, when Michael (the boy I watch) is grumpy.
Michael: [Starts screaming]
Olivia: Michael grumpy now!

So The Kitchen Just Exploded

My head is spinning, my knees are weak, and my hands can’t stop shaking. I feel as though I just ran a mile. Or five. How many calories does one really good adrenaline burst burn anyway?
Where to start…
We were in Olivia’s room. Reading books. I thought I smelled smoke, but […]

We Have A Nemesis

Bad squirrel. Bad.

In all fairness, though, Olivia did leave her babydoll outside.
For many hours.
With bread stuffed in her mouth.

A Tea Cup, A Sock, And … And … There Was One More…

Josh was changing Benjamin’s diaper […]

We Cannot Be Trusted With Library DVD’s

Just a little over a month ago, we had to replace a broken Veggie Tales.
Two weekends we went home for a friend’s wedding. We went well-stocked with Veggie Tales from the library. We left one in Grandma’s DVD player. But it’s okay. She mailed it to us. It’s just slightly […]

Don’t Microwave Tostadas

They make your house smell like burning.
For days.
Yesterday was Leftover Day. Fridays always are. Josh decides he wants tacos. We only have tostadas. He takes the meat out of the fridge; I hand him the tostadas. I turn around to pick out my dinner and he asks, “How long do […]
