Judo:

Let me know when you're coming to Boston, we'll meet for a beer or two.

 

[Supe]

Harvard, eh Judo? How does it feel knowing you'll never be able to retire, paying his tuition and all?

 

[mudpuppy]

From what I've read, the majority of people who get into Harvard don't pay a dime. That's how big their endowment is.

 

[YMZ PE]

They certainly seem well-endowed.

 

[MA_PE]

oh. i think the people that can afford it pay..and I suspect that the folks that pay have a less "rigorous" scrutiny of their applications. The truly gifted students that might not have the means for tuition are likely subsidized pretty well.

so when to kids stop informing the world they want to pee like daddy when they have to go to the bathroom

 

[MA_PE]

When they switch and say "I have to go see a man about a horse"

so minisnick and i were sitting that computer this weekend looking through pictures. He was sitting in a chair next to me. He kept saying mommy and i would respond yes, what do you want while I was still looking at the screen. After a couple of mommys with me still looking at the screen, he finally said, " mommy look at me when I talk to you." Which is exactly what we say to him when we are trying to talk to him.

it was just too funny.

 

[pbrme]

^ awe, that's pretty cool. Sounds like your little guy is a proper gentlemen in training.

 

[snickerd3]

so we were watching Charlie and the chocolate factoy (johny depp version) and the door opens to the huge candy room with the chocolate river and candy trees,etc... minisnick's eyes went wide open and he said "that's Awesome"...refering to the edible room. I guess he has never seen that part of the movie before.

 

[snickerd3]

It was already past minisnicks bedtime last night, when we put him in bed he said (in a whiney voice), can you read a book to me, mr snick said no it's bedtime, minisnick repeat in an all innocent angelic voice, can you read a book to me, Please. Mr snick said no it's bedtime. Minisnick answered Ah, shoot! and rolled over to lay down.

 

[Ble_PE]

^We get something like that every night from mini-ble1. His go-to line for when something happens that he doesn't want is "cheese and crackers!" We have no idea where he got it from, but it's hilarious!

 

[envirotex]

I like cheese and crackers, that's pretty good! I'm going to use that.

I have noticed the older that my children get, the more I forget that f-bombs are not appropriate coming from their mother.

 

[snickerd3]

the neighbors cut down a tree yesterday. minisnick watched it come down then came running up to me and said the lorax is going to be mad

 

[goodal]

The littlest badal fell off some monkey bars last week (that he wasn't supposed to be on) and screwed up his arm. Broke a chip off the humerus and moved around the lower two bones. Doc had to do surgery to pin it back together. Gets this cast off and pins out in 3 weeks and another cast for 2 more weeks. Hes four so he doesnt really understand what all is going on, just that he cant do anything fun for the next month or so. Hes milking the attention for all its worth though. If I could figure out how to post pics I've got one of his blue cast and blue tongue (from one of the many suckers his aunt brought).

 

[snickerd3]

That sucks Badal...hopefully it heals properly. At least it is still before pool/water season so he wont miss out on that.

 

[goodal]

The new house has an inground pool that we haven't even seen uncovered yet. I don't think it has hit him that he'll miss out on a few weeks of swimming. Make no mistake though, there has been no lesson learned on his part from this. He was trying to climb the pool fence to beat the "bubbas" across the yard Saturday. We are going to have to wrap him in bubble wrap to keep him from screwing up his arm again.

 

[snickerd3]

so you have a mountain goat too ;-). Minisnick is that way too. climbs and jumps off most anything he can...which has gotten higher off the ground lately. I know it is only a matter of when, not if minisnick has the same thing happen to him as mini badal.

Renting a tux for Tex Jr.'s prom today...

Can't believe it.

 

[MA_PE]

j/k.

There have been recent article that the average expenditure for attending a prom is now ~$1400. Unreal. I hate that th tux places gouge the kids too.
