My Wild & Crazy Guys

To Finn: You know I like to wake to the mellifluous voice of Steve Inskeep on Morning Edition.  Why, then, do you insist on setting your alarm to blast Weird Al Yankovich’s “Found It On eBay” when you know it is likely to piss me off?

Tell me why (I need another Pet Rock)

Tell me why (I got that Alf alarm clock)

Tell me why (I bid on Shatner’s toupee)

They had it on eBay

You’re lucky I really love you.

To Drew:  The Sunchips, marshmallows, saltines and roasted peanuts were actually intended for consumption, but if you’d rather painstakingly construct a culinary/architectural masterpiece with them it’s okay by me.  Using honey to hold “The Greatest Snack of Your Dreams” together was sheer genius, and the blue starberries add a bright, cheery touch.  Way to go, future Frank Lloyd Wright/Thomas Keller man!

To Porter:  The look on your face says there’s nothing more fun than jumping on the trampoline while splashing yourself with the hose.  I better put down this camera and join you.

  1. seriously– the trampoline looks like lots of fun!! It looks like you all have a really good time. That is all that matters– ridiculous memories.

  2. That’s so cute! Alex would love building a snack like that!

  3. “What I Got on E-Bay” = Best Song Ever!


  4. blue…
    strawberries…?
    I guess I’ve been away too long.

    Also, count me with Finn and Busy Mom, the e-bay song is awesome. I should buy my kids some Weird Al, the Lordi (Finnish monster metal) is wearing thin.

  5. Your sons are awesome.

  6. I don’t know..I think I am detecting a note of sarcasm behind the luv!

  7. OMG Thats the greatest snack ever!

    My Wife is going to be so mad when I recreate it, thank you!

  8. You are such a rockin’ mom, Glamore.

    I, on the other hand, do not know where to begin asking about blue strawberries.

  9. “Blue Starberries” are a main attraction of the Froot Loops Drew “eats” for breakfast. Just wanted y’all to know I can spell, and identify fake froot.

    What I'm Reading





    I read this ten years ago and am reading it again. I want to read *Stargirl* but must avoid the library until Porter locates lost books.

    The Boys Are Loving


    Hooray-- there's a sequel to the original Diary. The guys are snarfing it up.


    Porter finished all the Harry Potter books so I started him on A Wrinkle In Time, and he's enjoying it. I bought the whole set so he'd have plenty to read for the next few months.


    After finishing the Harry Potters, Drew turned to the Hardy Boys. He can't tell a story "in a nutshell," so I've heard all about the missing jalopy, and the red wig. Solve the mystery already!
