My son wanted to wash his shorts with my pants…

And then it was another 45 minutes to get a new pair of shorts back on him

Congratulations @EdH for number 2 hopefully she will be as cute as number 1

[EdH]

@Brian If that happens then Mrs H will have serious questions to answer, because the chances of this mug being able to sire two cute kids has got to be slim.

Not sure if this is the best spot to ask but has anyone DIY'd a sandbox for the kids? If so, any types besides the standard stuff like make sure there's a cover so the feral cats don't use it as a litter box.

[Matt]

Just make sure it’s easy to pull up and get rid of. Like everything else, the kids will get bored with it and abandon it leaving you with a giant ant farm.

Kids could only handle so much nature so we eventually set up a movie night

[prpx]

@GraemeE - i’m never, ever, roasting marshmallows without helmet on

[Matt]

You just never know.

… but instinctively know the difference between roasting and smoking. Did you get the call for more logs @GraemeE ;-)?

[SKT]

@GraemeE any nightmares about flying monkeys?

[GraemeE]

@SKT the monkeys in the movie didn't but we put the fear of god into them about avoiding these guys

To be perfectly honest 80% of the marshmallows we brought were eaten before even making it onto the sticks to be roasted

Orthodontists are expensive

Do my kids need straight teeth?

[Tago Mago]

@SKT unless you are English I would say yes

Can we do a step parent support group?

[Matt]

Caroline (11) is reading The Outsiders for school. She wanted to know if I was born in the 80s or the 90s. Katie told her I was born in the 70s. So then she wanted to know if I was a Greaser or a Soc. She’s now convinced that every adult was either a Greaser or a Soc when they were a kid. I have no intention of correcting her.

[SKT]

@Matt Greaser or Soc…just stay golden Matt

@northsouthdenimguy you will always be second
