Danny's idea of organization

After piling all his toys in a single "tornado" pile in the basement playroom, this was Danny's version of "cleaning up". Nice try - except that now Erin has no way to get into her room.

By the way, do you think the boys have enough toys - considering this is only ONE of the rooms of toys in the house? :)

Puckety Underpass

If someone can please explain this wording on an illuminated temporary highway sign we passed last night on our way back from Pittsburgh, please let me know. I'm assuming it's a Pennsylvania thing, but George is just as baffled as I am!

Just for the record, our family power chant, courtesy of life with Danny:

WE NEVER SLEEP!
WE NEVER STOP!
WE WON'T GIVE UP
UNTIL WE DROP!

DO SUMPIN' ELSE!
DO SUMPIN' ELSE!

Old McDonald had a cow...and a handy man

Darn these digital cameras - none of them has a shutter speed to beat the speed of my boys!

Happy Halloween!
