After Zach got his allergy shots today, I took the kids to McDonald’s to grab dinner. Not high on the nutritional priorities, but it’s hot, McD’s is fast, and once in awhile it won’t kill anyone. So I go through the drive thru and order. Then I pay. Then I get to the window where [...]
-I suck at growing plants, so I’m making a rock garden once and for all. It’s almost done. -The boys fight all the time because they’re so much alike. -Zach has no grasp on the fact that his little brother acts the way he does because he learned those behaviors from Zach. Note to all [...]
