    “I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass… And I’m all out of bubblegum.”

  • Good Idea, Bad Idea

    Good idea: Telling your husband the house is on fire.

    Bad idea: Telling your husband the house is on fire when you’re asleep and dreaming that the house is on fire.

    Shouting “Matthew, there’s smoke coming from the…” and then suddenly waking up is not conducive to a stress-free morning.

  • Things Relearned

    * Scrambled eggs look much the same coming up as they do going down.

    Matthew and Marcus spent the morning assembling and organizing this handy dandy pegboard system.
