I Am Loved By My Sink,

and my husband is the really good kind of crazy.

Storytime with Ben

One of my favorite things about being married to Ben is listening to (and reading) his stories. He always keeps me laughing. I can't wait for Mary Ellen to appreciate storytime with her daddy.

I recently read through all of his previous blog posts, including some from Chisholm Project (when he lived in a bad neighborhood on purpose), and I was reminded again of a few reasons that I was so impressed with him for 4 years (before I impressed him). He is just so very good with words.

My favorite funnies from his old blog:

#3 The neighbors' goat -- the funny part is in the comments

#2 Teaching Shay grammar

#1 Ben, the rat

This past week during lunch, one of my students ("Earrings") called out to her classmates,
"Raise your hand if you love Mrs. Robinson for who she is!"

Everyone's hand shot up.

I wonder what that means...?

Bun's obedience

I just wrote this on a friend's Facebook wall. It made me laugh so I thought I'd share it.

Thanks for cheering on my growing belly! That IS funny.
Ben used to do that; he'd get really close to my belly and say, "BUN, LISTEN TO YOUR DADDY: YOU NEED TO GROW!"
He's kinda let that subside now that he sees some evidence of Bun's obedience.
