Study Motivation

Sometimes, people ask how Mike stays focused on his schoolwork when he's exhausted.

I'm always happy to give him incentive to stay on task.

Special Delivery

I'd mail myself, but that might get messy.

Go go gadget heart!

Invention can be inspired by more than necessity.

Better get a bucket.

It's really tough to take down the bad guys when your lunch is coming up.

Cleanliness is next to in trouble

At least it's just bubbles. Toothpaste iced counters are much harder to clean up. Trust me on this one.

Sharing is caring

Mister is nothing if not resourceful.

Priceless paintings

Mike said if I made these paintings, he would put them in his office.

I may just have to call his bluff.

Gesundheit

Winter just can't leave without a parting shot.

Wake up call

Nothing like a jolt of adrenaline to get the day going.

Steal your heart

*cue Mission Impossible theme*

Tiny Bubbles

Listen, it doesn't matter how old you are; blowing bubbles is fun.

Almost as fun as popping them.

Me Tarzan!

Sometimes, its up to the lady to sweep a guy off his feet.

Rub a dub dub

It's not a bath; it's a dive site.

The Majestic Snow Turtle

My husband, as you may have guessed, is not from the Northern reaches of the U.S. either.

I claim this man

I promise I didn't lick the suction cup first to make it stick better.

Tinkerer's mother's cuss

There are few things scarier than a 4 year old with a screwdriver.

Incoming!

[Cupid's Bow ]

Ranged attack

Damage reduced to 0

+10 to Charm

Am I distracting you?

"You got your Rockband in my homework!"

"You got your homework in my Rockband!"

Sadly, I don't think most professors will appreciate the genius of this pairing.

Mad scientist denial

Be glad he's going into accounting and not bio-mechanics.

Be very glad.

Gold star

I love gold stars. The kind you got on reading logs or chore charts as a kid.

Mike knows this, so for Valentine's he made me a gigantic gold star.

Best. Valentine. Ever.

I choose you

I knew all those hours of crane game training would pay off one day.

Can you hear me now?

Sometimes, you have to be extra sure that you get your point across.

Flutterbys

Is it spring yet?

How many combat drops?

Can you tell I've lived in the south most of my life?

If I was a zombie...

Some people send flowers to win your heart.

I send zombies.

Cuppa

Bring me a cup of tea unbidden, and you have a true friend for life.

The real reason for King sized beds

I swear sometimes toddlers are only happily sleeping if one limb is touching each parent.

Which is cute as long as you aren't getting a knee to your solar plexus.

A rather blustery day

Umbrella blowouts are hilarious when you are 4.

Shhh

He *thinks* he's a Jedi.

Love me, love my art supplies.

All paint is face paint at my house. And shoe paint. And clothing paint And...

Long distance love

Thank goodness for unlimited texting plans.

Many decker

The multi-scoop ice cream cone always seems like a fabulous idea, but it almost always ends in tears.

Chore cheer squad

Mister Boo is a firm believer in the "spoonful of sugar" school of thought.

Early Education

This one goes out to all my fellow stay at home peeps.

My future marine biologist

My daughter is at that tender age, when a girl's thoughts turn to...cephalopods?

She wants to be a marine biologist so that she can study cuttlefish. She's also planning to open a bat rehabilitation center when she retires.

I have the coolest kids. :)

Pure Energy

I don't know where he gets all that energy from, but I swear if properly harnessed it could power a small nation.

About to get Medieval on you

I start playing with a catapult , I guarantee you'll see something new.

Wrap you up in my love

I like to do things on an epic scale.

Roller Curby

Drawn from life!

My bottom still hurts.

Let the invasion begin

And you thought Skynet started it all.

Let the Invasion Begin!

And you thought Skynet started it all.

Take a note of this...

I love post-its.

However, I do not enjoy it when I drop my post-it grocery list, and spend the next 45 minutes looking for it, because it got stuck to my butt.

Still Got That Spark

Playing with static electricity is fun and educational! Right kiddos?

Base jumping

I swear his job as a boy is to hurl himself off of any structure taller than himself.

I guess that makes it my job to catch him.

Eleven year olds make very interesting role playing choices.

Ice cream? Today?

Nothing can get in between a girl and her ice cream. Not even sub freezing temperatures.

Don't stop believing

Someday, I'm going to be the most un-cool person on the planet. But for right now, I'm singing his favorite song with him, and that's enough to be the coolest.

Boi-iong

I'm sad that humans haven't evolved into pogo-hybrids. So much for the future.

You gotta eat your spinach, baby

Mister regards all green food with extreme suspicion. Not that I really blame him.

I fixed it Vol. 2

Mister loves taking things apart to see how they work. Somewhere along the line, he decided to call it "fixing" things. Either he's going to be an engineer or a politician.
