This blog began with little stories about my kids and the funny and interesting things they say. But since I started it, life has taken me on some unexpected paths with my entire family. It's now about us.
The Family
“The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together.”

Anchovies vs. Cat food - It's a fine line.
Mark loves anchovies. Today the girls were sat at the kitchen island, watching in horror, as Mark proceeded to scarf a bunch of anchovies while standing over the kitchen sink. Of course, they are completely grossed out. He gives them a challenge, "If you eat one, chew it up and swallow it, I let you buy ANYTHING you want while we're at Disney". Caroline gives him a devastated look. She wants so badly to win the prize, but it's just too risky! Addison decides to go for it. She grabs one, tosses it in her mouth and skips off. "Oh no, wait just a minute! Get back here and eat it in front of us". She comes around the corner, looking as if she's about to cry or barf, maybe both and spits the anchovy on the floor. Mark polishes off the last one when Addison says "I'll try it again Daddy!". Mark replies, "There isn't anymore sweetie, I ate the last one". Addison looks at him very seriously and says "There isn't anymore cat food?" ....oh darling, yes, anchovies are simply repackaged cat food for people.
