- 1 - Quotes of the week (QOTW) this week: "Easy lemon test." Luke, in response to my "easy peasy, lemon squeezy" comment. Kids hear the funniest things. Forgive me for just remembering one. It was a real barn burner of a week around here. Will got strep on Monday, John Paul had a major breathing incident and Luke got the horrid "fever of unknown origin." Throw in a birthday party, a reno project and a non-sleeping baby and I'm all BEER ME. - 2 - We may have a new photographer in the house. Will took this photo, and I love it so. I wish I could say why I love it so much, but there's just too many reasons. Well done, Will. Well done. The weather on Monday and Tuesday in Austin was … [Read more...]
7 Quick Takes: A weekend at the coast and a fresh look at 2015
- 1 - This week's quotes of the week (QOTW)? "Well, apparently..." Clare says "apparently" all the time. It's absolutely hilarious. "Man, Luke's toots can clear a room." Why yes, Will, they can. Added bonus of missing half your colon. "Is she ever going to sleep?" Scott and I. Y'all. Sleep deprived doesn't even begin to scratch the surface. But, we know it's just a season with Gianna. I'm hopeful we are nearing the end. BWAHAHAHA. "How come Gianna gets the cool nursery?" John Paul, commenting on the RED ASS Aggie nursery we have for Gianna. Pure luck, buddy. And, I promise to share pictures very soon. - 2 - Okay, in the true spirit of making these quick, let's hit some … [Read more...]
7 Quick Takes: 10 Questions You Must Ask, a Cool Award and a Radio Gig
- 1 - Your quotes of the week (QOTW) this week are: "Will wears detergent!" John Paul, I think you meant deodorant. "So, are we running that into the ground?" Will, to Scott in regards to our stovetop. He must've overheard me say how we planned on running the two cars we own into the ground. It's good to know the kids pick up some of the good things we say. Like once every million years. "You're so bad at math." Anna-Laura, on my mad math tutoring skills. At least she's honest. "Luke peed on the floor." Everyone, followed by a naked Luke standing on the balcony pointing to his jewels. His reply? "There's nothing weft in there Mom." - 2 - I don't know who I paid off … [Read more...]
An Award-Winning Blog?
It may not be the Oscars, but still super fun. A friend of mine, Bonnie, is hosting the Sheenazing Awards (as in Bishop Fulton Sheen) for various categories of blogs. I have zero idea who nominated me, but whoever did, danke. Very kind. I still think it's hilarious that she considered Sheentastic, but it had something not so nice to do with Charlie Sheen. That boy's a mess. If you like to vote for stuff, then I've got you covered for today, just click here. Team Whitaker was nominated for: Coolest Blogger Best Looking Blog Best Lifestyle Blog Bonnie brightened my day, as do each of you. Tomorrow, there's a giveaway coming. Yippee!! … [Read more...]
