Riding home from Christopher’s basketball practice tonight when Ava & Christopher both got a case of the giggle fits. They couldn’t stop laughing and eventually, after about 15 minutes of hysterics, I asked them to calm down. This, of course, brought even MORE hysterical laughing. And then it happened. I snapped. And the entire thing [...]

Konversations With Kids: If He Lost His Head…
Posted in Kids, Konversations With Kids, tagged Christopher's sweatshirt, He has lost his mind, The lights are on but no one is home on October 28, 2009 | 3 Comments »
My son is trying to drive me crazy…I swear!!!
Actually…this ISN’T about a particular conversation. Actually…this is about my son and his head. Because I do believe that if it wasn’t screwed on tightly…he would have no idea where it was. And he would have no idea where to begin to look for it. Or why [...]
Konversations With Kids: The Greatest Book…EVER?
Posted in Family Life, Kids, Konversations With Kids, tagged Books, Christopher, Reading, Walter The Farting Dog on September 29, 2009 | 5 Comments »
So my wife picked up some books for the kids over the weekend. Guess they were having a sale somewhere and she allowed them to pick out 3 books each, no matter the topic, on anything that they would want to read about. Ava picked out a book about a multi-colored elephant and some books [...]

My niece, Bobby, is going on a field trip. She is very excited because this year, for her trip, she and her class get to go to…
wait for it…
Franfort, KY.
Now…I’m cool with Frankfort. I got nothing against the Kentucky capitol and I am assuming that the field trip planners of her school must have a museum visit [...]
Konversations With Kids: The One Where We Talk Football

On the walk to school today, Christopher told me about his football practice last night. I couldn’t go because I was working, so I asked him how it went. His coaches have been moving him around to different positions. And so then it went down like this…
Me: “So how was practice last night? They put [...]

So THIS chat fest went down here in our kitchen a few minutes ago…
Mom: “Christopher, your camp starts in 40 minutes. If you are hungry you have to let me know or else you can eat AFTER you’re done.”
Christopher: “I’m not really hungry.”
Mom: “Are you sure? I don’t want you to get there and realize [...]

Morning fresh!
8:45am. Christopher has a basketball camp in 15 minutes. We are scrambling to get him out the door. But the television is on and the boy has no focus when the boob tube is set on Cartoon Network. Throw in some Pop Tarts and grab him a water. Got his shoes on and are [...]

Firepower my butt!
Recently, my wife signed my son up to play pee-wee football for a local team. Needless to say, Christopher is very excited! He loves football and with the Steelers and his high school team winning championships this year, he can’t wait to put on some pads and make some tackles. And I am [...]

She may have curls, but she’s no dumb blonde!
My kids were sitting at a table with friends, ready to eat dinner the other evening. A buddy of mine was asking Ava & Christopher questions about school. One of his questions to Ava went as so…
Friend: “So Ava. Do you like school?”
Ava: “Yes! We have do [...]

Would YOU let this little girl buy you jewelry?
Mother’s Day is Sunday and I decided to take Ava out to get her mother a gift for that very special day. I kind of knew what I could get Steph so I figured I would “prod” Ava in that direction. After telling Ava that she needed [...]
Konversation With Kids: It DOES Stink!
Posted in Kids, Konversations With Kids, tagged Asparagus, Christopher on April 15, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Last night for dinner, my wife made pork roast, sweet potatos, salad and asparagus for dinner, which promptly sparked a discussion on how it makes your pee stink. This, of course cracked up my son, who now automatically laughs at anything that has to do with pee, farts, butts or weenies. So this morning, Christopher [...]

Pooh on you!
Sunny Florida. A wonderful trip to see Mickey and all his friends in the warm sunshine. Life is all good. Right? Well…of course it is! However…and I need to tread gently here…I have to say, as a father and husband who loves his family very much, a vacation to Walt Disney World is [...]
Rock Collecting Dance Instructor

My instructor…with a box of rocks.
The imagination of a 4-year old has no boundaries. And to watch a child play with such abandon is such a joy to watch. Today, my daughter went outside to collect rocks. And, of course, once I went out to check on her, I HAD to play also. And what [...]

I’ve decided to start a new category I’m calling “Konversations With Kids”. Seriously…you can’t even begin to imagine some of the things that come out of my kids’ mouths. There are so many conversations in a day that I can’t even keep track! But tonight, Ava and I got chatting about her future. And it [...]
