Stuff that makes me want to have a kid

The commercial of the mom & daughters making Rice Krispies Treats.  Something about it gets me every time.
Parent confessionals on “Motherhood is Not for Wimps.”  Every few months parents “confess” their worst to each other.  If these people can raise kids there is hope for me yet!
Nephew when he is asleep… actually, any kid when they are [...]

There is a sentence I never thought I’d hear

Niece, running around the house sans underwear: “Wheeeeeeee”
Daddy-Friend: “Go get your panties and bring them over here right now!”
Niece: “Wheeeeeeee”
I don’t know why she insists on being without clothes when we come over…
“Bring me your panties!”
She ducks into the hallway closet: “Hide-go-seek????”
Mommy-Friend: “Bring me your panties right now or Uncle will not play Hide and Go [...]

The Hulk

On Christmas I went to visit with Mommy-Friend & Daddy-Friend and the kiddos.  It was crazy and fun as usual.

See ya later Mom & Dad

The other day we were visiting our friends and it came time to leave their house full-o-children and go back to our house-of-one-dog.
As we were walking out the door, Niece ran over to us.  She walked outside when we walked outside.  We looked at her dad and got the high sign to mess with the child.
“Do [...]

My hero

As I mentioned, my sister is very, very pregnant.  This makes her my hero.  Not because she is going to be having a little baby, but because she has the courage to not let being pregnant stand in her way of living.
You see, a few weeks ago my we had the brilliant idea of going [...]
