Training Session: Snack Food Storage

Session One: Famous Amos Cookies

Bill led a grueling session on opening a bag of cookies, placing the cookies into a Ziplock bag, and, crucially, pulling the white plastic zipper firmly from one end of the bag to the other to ensure that the bag is completely closed and the cookies will stay fresh.  Each boy then demonstrated his ability to 1) locate the Ziplocks and 2) open and close them without difficulty.  I presented a guest lecture on the necessity of transporting the bag of cookies from the counter to the pantry.  Unattended cookies left on the counter will be confiscated.

Session Two: Advanced: Application of Chip Clip

Bill oriented the boys to the secret storage place of the chip clips: the drawer to the right of the stove.  Each boy was given a bag and practiced neatly folding down the open ends and securing them firmly with a chip clip.  Again, I stepped in to emphasize that even beautifully clipped bags of chips must be deposited in the bin in the pantry or risk being impounded.  They may be retrieved only after payment of a five dollar fine and appropriate expressions of apology and sorrow.

    I’ve been married 10 years this summer and have not yet managed to accomplish this amazing feat with my husband! I can’t imagine daring it with my 2 girls. Instead I grumble everytime I eat a stale chip about being the only one who knows where the chip clips are! Thanks for the challenge!

    What I'm Reading


    This book is told from an alcoholic's point of view. It provides insight into the disease, rehab and AA. Well worth reading if you're close to a severe alcoholic.

    I've never read any of his fiction, but his book about the craft of writing was awesome.

    Hey, I have a story in this book about how I'm not always the best mom. It's guaranteed to make you feel better about yourself, especially the part where I throw stuff at Finn.

    I put this golden oldie here because I love it and if you haven't read it you're missing out.

    The Boys Are Loving


    I heard Rick Riordan interviewed on NPR and went directly to the library to get these books. Porter absolutely adored them-- they were by far the biggest hit of the year.

    Drew and Porter are fighting over these books. Enough said.


    I didn't think Porter would like this, but I was desperate for him to read something, so I shoved it at him and it was a WINNER.

    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.
