He had a Widdow Wam and other stories by Brother Goose

Thomas Quotes of the Day:

He had a widow wam, he had a widow wam x infinity whilst accompanying himself on the piano.

"Thomas, this is a chocolate, peanut butter milkshake," I said. Then Thomas looked up at me with sleepy hair and a huge chocolate milk mustache and said,
"Can I shake it?"

Even though I wanted to say yes, I didn't.


This house is not falling down. It is being careful.

Thomas: "Daddy, I have a question for you."
John: "Okay, what's your question?"
Thomas: "28, for the firetruck."
John: "Right."

Paige, "Thomas, do you want your zucchini, or do you wand Daddy to eat it?"
Thomas, "Don't want you to tell Kyna."
Apparently Kyna, Thomas is getting you mixed up with a delicious green squash.

Traci looked at her garden and said to Thomas, "What do you think?"
After a few moments of silent deliberation, Thomas replied, "I don't like other mommies; they're scary."

After jumping on the bed, and being kicked off, "Mommy said I kicked you off because you were kicking and not being soft, this is a bed, not a playground!" To which Thomas said, "Stop complaining, Mommy."

As a couple of you may be aware, I am training for a half marathon. Saturday I attempted 6 miles, knowing full well that would be a challenge, but believing that with my past miles behind me and the reality of a 13.2 miles ahead of me, I would just have to do it. Well Kyna you kicked my booty and now I am paying the price of my 6 miles of hobbling over the weekend. I may be walking like an elderly lady now, but I will be running 13 miles Halloween weekend. Sorry I stink Kyna, I'll make you some zucchini bread to make it up to you.

Oh and remember that push up challenge John and I were attempting a year ago? Well we are actually doing it this fall! So far I can do 15 push-ups in a row, and friends and family are joining in, so if you are interested, go

Oh Paige! Thanks for making my Monday! I hope you're not walking like an old lady for too long, it was fun to have a running buddy, and you can totally do the half marathon!

And, I don't mind being compared to zucchini at all. I love zucchini.

Bake for 40 minutes at 300. Turn large portions of granola like you are flipping a pancake. (trying to keep it clustered) Bake for 15 more minutes at 300. Check to see if its golden brown all over. If there are any patchy spots. Turn the granola one more time and bake for 5 minutes.  Let it cool and crispify on the baking sheet. Enjoy. Or...

A Pregnant Post by Paige about Pregnancy

Here's the belly progression: 6 Months 8.5 Months Warning! This post may contain personal musings about pregnancy. It may read like a journal. It may contain baby excitement and overall feelings of joy. So I have been stepping on things lately. Mostly toys. How is this possible, you ask? Those of you familiar with my adroit walking skills may be puzzled at this point. I know I was until I took a shower this morning. And I couldn't see my feet at all; not a hint of them, no toes, nothing, not even when leaning forward could I see anything but a belly button sun on the horizon of a large earth belly. And that is why I've been stepping on things. Thomas' toy hammer, a plastic giraffe, the zipper of John's coat . . . The loss of my peripheral vision going down is apparently complete. I can't see where I am stepping! What a frightening feeling. I have also been walking into common household objects with my belly. Doorknobs and chairs. Major medial disco...

Myrtle Beach

Recently we moved to Myrtle Beach, SC.  It has been quite the adventure so far, including moving across the country by car and being out of our home for 9 days before receiving our new house keys.  We have been to the urgent care a couple times and the hospital getting a finger glued back together and a forehead stitched up.  We drove between storms of snow and tornadoes, safely arriving in what we Wilsons consider summer weather, but we have been told to wait until July for the real humidity and heat. Our charming house is twenty years old and very cute.  It has kitchen dining and living rooms downstairs and bedrooms up. It was getting a little awkward when we purchased our electric lawn mower online and then waited several days for it to show up. We have made new friends with our culdesac neighbors, church members, and cub scouts. One of our favorite things is our neighborhood pool at the end of our street, six houses down.  We are really happy that Spen...
