Homemaker Chronicles

Caleb has not even seen the Karate Kid movies, but he (like most boys) is totally into chopping, kicking, and saying “Ha-Yah”.  Due to his love for the martial arts, we decided to let him attend a Taekwondo camp this summer.
You know, because we are totally into torturing ourselves.
They crammed 10 lessons-worth of learning into [...]

I’m not sure you will find this useful. It might work better as a video (which I can attempt next), but the following is a tutorial on how to cut little boy’s hair with electronic clippers.
Someone brought it to my attention that cutting hair might not come as easily to some as it does [...]

Have you been out to my daughter’s blog lately?  Have you followed me on Twitter lately?  You should do at least ONE of those things!  Then you would know that we had quite a week last week.

Okay, but only if you beg…
Oh alright…STOP IT already!  Of course I’ll tell [...]

You know your boys have watched too much Star Wars when everything in our natural lives reminds them of Jango Fett.  Even paper towel packages…

Mr. Fett was a bounty hunter in the popular movies, and my boys are just a little bit in love with said films…actually there love is for the Wii game- [...]

Since I’m on a rampage about boys this week I thought I would add this little tidbit.
Great minds think alike!
Caleb is practically a boy genius except for one thing…he lacks a little bit of logic.  For instance, this week during school he is working on his long division.  I went over and over the process [...]

This is my son Caleb…he’s 8 years old.
He wants to be an engineer when he grows up.  He also likes ninjas and would like to be one of THOSE when he grows up.

In fact, he [...]
