Now that Asa is the ripe old age of 8 months, I need to advance his homeschooling beyond the fundamentals of reading, writing and arithmetic. So today we are going to do our first science lesson! I decided it would be best to start with a simple chemistry experiment: Water + Dirt = Mud. I […]
Sssshhhh, come in closer, I need to talk to you about something important. But the Aliens are listening so I need to whisper. I tried to warn you in the earlier post Proof of My Attempted Alien Abduction, but my call to action obviously was not taken seriously. But since April I have even more […]
Hi, my name is Asa and I have a hot spot. Chuck Billy is forcing me to write today’s blog post because he is too busy muttering something about Aliens and this stupid lampshade I have to wear. Seriously, what is wrong with my family?! This is ridiculous! It all started last night when I […]
If you haven’t noticed, Mom and Dad are a little overprotective. Oh sure in many ways it is comforting to know they have our best interest at heart. But sometimes they are a little ridiculous. According to Wikipedia, “A helicopter parent is a parent who pays extremely close attention to a child’s or children’s experiences and problems. […]
Dad’s trees are under attack! As you know from Lead Us Not into Temptation, Dad takes his trees seriously…even if some of them look more like sticks than trees. Well you can’t even begin to imagine how bad I feel that I let Dad down. Everyone knows that a farmer depends on his dog to scare […]
Asa has been living with us for six months now. Time for another performance review! I’ll be using the same questions from his First 100 Days interview: How do you see your role in this family? Now that I’ve been here for six months, I feel that my role has been clearly defined as Entertainment […]
To get a full appreciation for what I’m about to tell you, please hum the theme song from Baywatch while you read this. In my last post I praised my little brother’s innate ability to swim. As our vacation continued, Asa proved to me that he was ready to put his skills to good use. So […]
Our vacation continues! This is Asa’s first time at the lake, and as a good big brother I was prepared to teach him how to swim. When I was a little scamp Lemmy wasn’t exactly a good teacher. Ok, he was awful! Lemmy was a bit of curmudgeon and wasn’t good at explaining things, so […]
Mom and Dad have a few days off from work. Time to head to my Grandparents’ lake house for a vacation! But before we head out, we need to pack. Asa and I have become accustomed to certain creature comforts. Therefore when we go on vacation it is like packing for a small army. Amongst […]
I’m beginning to realize that Asa is a literal little fellow, and that I need to be careful what I tell him. Case in point, this morning I was happily telling him that our family reunion will be happening soon. I LOVE this annual event! I get to see Momma Sage, Grandma Rue, Aunt Brie, […]
