My 4 year old is usually a pickle enthusiast, but tonight:

Mr: If you finish your dinner, you can have a pickle.

Mini: No thanks. I'm trying to stay off pickles.

I think she's been picking up on her dad's dieting lingo.

 
So after continuously calling our bluff by talking completely fresh, #1 just got a healthy spoonful of green apple dish soap in her mouth. That'll learn her

 
time will tell. but up to this point it has only been an empty threat. So now that I followed through, she should at least know that I am serious.

 
Lock your door tonight when you sleep!
even better. I turned the locks around on the kids doors to their rooms because they were always locking them. So when they go to bed, I will lock their doors and then I will get to sleep like a baby.... on the couch

 
Mmmmmm I love green apples.

Yeah, I feel your pain. My daughter also went through the potty mouth faze.

She still gets an attitude with us from time to time though.

I have streamlined it with the liquid soap. seamed to curtail the potty mouth over the weekend due to the new threat

 
yep. I hope it only takes once. I found that setting "doable" punishments and following through on the "or else" is most effective.

 
I'm thinking of beginning a work camp-type atmosphere for when they don't behave. They are just not old enough yet.

 
minisnick grew in inch taller just this last month. The entry way to my parent's kitchen has the height lines for me, my sister, and now minisnick. We were just up there a month ago, almost to the day. Craziness. Although his record seems to be about 4 inches in 2.5-3 month time span btwn visits.

 
Kid's team won 30-0. There was a point where the coach let everyone have a chance running the ball. I was calling him Oprah. "And YOU get to run the ball! And YOU get to run the ball!" My kid ran for 11 yards on his turn. He was bubbly when he came off the field. He got a tackle, got a run, everything is rainbows!

 
So I gotta say, this whole Enterovirus D68 mega virus thing is really bothering me with my kids. NJ hasn't had any confirmed reports, but all the states around us have so it's only a matter of time. The thing that really worries me is that NJ#2 has had a history of croup cough and I'm concerned that this will effect him

 
my wife is super paranoid about that as well. just do lots and lots of hand washing.. Your probably lucky to have a stay at home old lady when these things come around..

so here is a soccer update!

I talked a guy who seemed over zealous into being the HC and I became the assistant (dude showed up wearing cleats). its going well, since he actually understands the game.. we are 0-2 , we have learned that this soccer league puts friends together so our team is the team of "misfit toys" none of them have ever played together.. getting better .. but hey, its just soccer!

so last Saturday, I get a call from a parent who realized that our game was 30 miles away (south of Denver- we live north of Denver) his basic phone call was " Hey I am super busy today and I don't have 4 hours to spend taking my son to the game so can he ride with you?"

I said yes, probably should have made some excuse like we had already left, it didn't really piss me off until the ride home.. who says that to somebody? sure I would like to do something else for 4 hours on a gorgeous Colorado Saturday also but Jesus Christ.. I guess people are the same all over.. a lady did this to me when I was coaching baseball , I will let you take advantage of me once but if you call the next game day I am going to let your phone go to voice mail..

 
Is Dark Helmet surrounded by idiots or a**holes in the version she's watching?
