Sounds like our house. Jerr is always the good guy! I am typically assume the role as bed time nazi too!
I love the man-head mountain drawing. Kids are hilarious.
Heath is soooooo driven. This should serve him well in life.
Wow does this scenario ever sound familier!! Why in the world do the mommies have to be the mean ones? So funny! I feel your pain. I love how you have one that looks like you and one that looks like Sonny! My first daughter looks like Tim and the other two look like me. It will be interesting to see what a little girl will look like in your little family. Good to hear from you! It has been a long time.
that's a very nice picture SOnny! :)
I love the "does anyone care about drawing in this house?". You are so in for it when he's a teenager. Good luck. And you can always come visit me if you need more appreciatation for yours, cause mine will give you a run for your money as well. :)
