sage: what's his name, daddy?
me: I don't know. how about "Henry"?

me: OK. what's his name, then?
sage: uh, Uncle Tim!

no, can't be. he has too much hair.

uncle tim exists!

Adventures of Mom, Peanut, and Razz

2010-06-29T15:48:00.003-05:00

Weekend Adventures of Momma, Peanut, and Razz!

After dropping poppa off at DS we hit the bank and went on our way.
Our first stop was at May Flower. (Not the boat the town!) For a lovely visit to my Grand and Pop. Pop played with Kido like they were play mates...cute and a little sad at times but it was good for me to spend some time talking to Grand.
Our second stop in LR...Such a nice town if you know where you are gong. (Thank's to my darling T for printing out maps for me) Peant Zonked out on the way (from no napping that day) And slept whilst I played with 3 of my super fun nephews My big bro and his loverly wife.
Then Peanut woke up..played for an hour and then off to bed for a non sleep night sleep. Peanut actually woke up when i snuck off the bed to go to the bathroom and insisted that he come with me...Ack. The following pic is of my big brother in a smack down with one of his twins who is only 6ft2ishOn to our last real stop my cousin's house with 4 boys, 5 puppies,s, a Nanna, a cat and a pool. It was great to see everyone and spend a little time....You know after Peanut stopped clinging to me for dear life...Thanks uncle B. The Razz actually gave me little trouble...just as content as a in utero kid can be. (Also thanks to the Razz for finally getting on to second trimester.
Getting home we stopped back by grands and saw Uncle M....he can talk like Donald Duck..(really)
Then after dinner a long drive home in the hardest rain of the summer...but it should be no surprise to me b/c teh worst of it was near the Bobby Hopper tunnel. (Seriously, if you watch my local news forecast..they get the worst weather in AR)...
All in all a good trip.

Drilled one million holes. "this one's for uncle tim!"

the finished product. not bad for a toddler. Next, on This Old Playhouse

It's...it's a major award!

2010-05-04T21:28:00.002-05:00

I've won! I've won!

that's right, kids. 11 Australian pounds of the Franco's favorite cookie! woohoo! and under that, 100 bibs. seriously. and a $15 iTunes gift card, bag o' confetti, a disposable camera, and 4 mugs!

makes it official

the big time. it was nice knowing you poor un-Tim Tam'd slobs. The Franco's are moving up!

We plunged into the cornucopia quivering with desire and the ecstasy of unbridled avarice.

2010-05-01T19:50:00.002-05:00

today, one of every little boy's dreams was fulfilled for Sage. By Nana:

swing it!

well, after Dad finishes putting it together. tomorrow. hey, ~~I have a desk job and weenie hands~~ it rained!

at the aquanarium

2010-04-25T21:03:00.002-05:00

sage puts the letter "n" in a lot of words. just for kicks, i guess. anyway, he and daddy really enenjoyed the aquanarium on saturday! and the zoo. though, he didn't get his wish to "pet the sharks, daddy!" i'm a bad father.

sage is a brave guy! he had his hands in the crab tank in no time. and the things had like spike tails and barbs on the sides! purell was used liberally. and he straight tripped out when we walked into the tunnel o' sharks. i held it together onenkay.

Why do I get up
Each morning and start?
Happy and head up
With joy in my heart
Why is each new task
A trifle to do?
Because I am living
A life full of you.

camping! shangri-la

2010-04-11T20:35:00.004-05:00

Well, Devil's Den. But close! We had a perfect family camping weekend. As Mr. Gabe said, "If the weather was like this all the time, I'd really consider living in Arkansas the rest of my life." I think I've more than considered it.

See pics from the only responsible adult who brought a camera, the unflappable Ms. Dorothy: here and here. Yep, you read that right: Mr. Rock Skipper. Add that to my stellar uncanny gifts repertoire--which includes the ability to find a four-leaf clover whenever, wherever.

Sage could literally throw rocks in water for 3 days straight. Know how I know?

That's my boy.

he is risen

2010-04-05T23:19:00.003-05:00

so we hunt for eggs. 1st, the prep

then, sleep deprivation and zombie chocolate

we pause this annual ritual for a candy break. this candy break brought to you by Hershey. when you need to nap for 15 minutes then run around a yard and eat sugar until you puke--think Hershey!

and church was good, too

really fun weekend and happy Easter

Mom: Daddy, let's take some bath time photos!
Dad: Here we are. Say "queso!" Sage
Sage: Cheese!
Dad walks away
Sage: Take a picture of my bottom!

for cats it's the same, I guess

2010-03-29T11:26:00.004-06:00

This morning, after I got Sage out of bed:

Daddy: Good morning, pal!
Sage: Good morning! I like you!
Daddy: Awww tha...
Sage licks me on the arm
Daddy: Oh, I lick you. Oh. Thanks, Mr. Monday

the world according to Daddy:

he ain't heavy, he's my brother

2010-03-16T21:13:00.003-06:00

Tonight after bath time:

Sage: Daddy, you are my daddy!
Daddy: That's right, pal
Sage: And Mommy...Nana is your Mommy!
Dad: Right, like we talked about before you went to Nana's house. And Nonno is my Daddy, Aunt Jess is my sister, and Uncle Tim is my brother
Sage: Yeah! And Brockster is my brother!
Dad: Sure buddy!
Sage: And Scarlett...is little!

tim tams

2010-03-15T20:56:00.002-06:00

The Francos have a problem. Pops has just one little coffee break with his pal R, and the whole fam is hooked on "Australia's Favorite Cookie!"

some of the tell-tale signs of a tim tam junkie:

ridiculous chocolate-covered mouth, deer in the headlights-look

goofy grin after stuffing the whole think in your mouth

after sucking coffee through it.

that is how we roll, mates

luncheon on the lawn

2010-03-07T21:49:00.005-06:00

beautiful early spring day today, for sure. lunch after church in the sun! Sage's idea.

Anthony! I specifically asked for blueberry yogurt. does this look like it has blueberries? last bedtime storybook I read, they're small, round and blue and come in yogurt! your incompetency astounds me and I'm not at all sure what to say right now...

better. now go prepare my froggy potty. i feel this yogurt may move me indoors soon. and don't watch me this time! you know I can't go when you watch...

where's the fire, son?

2010-03-03T21:33:00.003-06:00

yes, it's that time of year again, folks. the annual firehouse tour

sirens loud. check.

i don't think your uniform is up to spec, young man

East side, yo

Pal Liam accompanied

I'll call this his "I can't believe I got away with that!" face. what did he get away with?

meet Mr. February on the Hunky Fireman of the Month Calendar. I'll see if I can get DS to roll one of those out next year...

if a=b, and b=c, then c is for camel

2010-02-27T21:07:00.003-06:00

(reading about animals before bedtime tonight)

Sage: Monkeys eat bananas!
Dad: Yeah, pal
Sage: And I eat bananas!
Dad: Sure do. And what does that make you?
Sage: Um, a camel!

2010-02-22T15:54:00.002-06:00

7:26am Monday, Franco househould, on the couch:

Dad: do you need some milk?
Sage: no.
Dad: do you need to go pee-pee?
Sage: no.
Dad: do you need a diaper change?
Sage: no.
Dad: boy, you don't need anything today, do ya?
Sage: I need a sucker!
Dad: uh, we don't have any.
Sage: You ate them all?
Dad: sure--yeah. sorry.

See how my week begins? questions toward a desire to meet my son's critical needs, an unreasonable request, and then blame for the inability to meet said unreasonable request. guy can't win...

yeah, he's THAT kid

2010-02-21T20:39:00.003-06:00

you know, THAT kid who sings Jingle Bells at an ungodly volume at the school Happy Holidays program, and the parents with the camcorders glare at you because they can't hear Princess' "solo" over Sage's mind-numbing rendition.
at least Claire Bear takes it in stride.
know what? I LOVE that kid.

happy 1st, Lele!

2010-02-18T21:15:00.003-06:00

stop fighting. it's valentine's day, after all. dia del amor y amistad, says Gabo

sage put himself to sleep, to recover from the balloon barrage.

too cool to hang out with our Mexican son and eat cake and share valentines. sage ate like 4 of Gabo's candy bars from his bag. Gabo gave him another. mom drove Gabo back to school while daddy laughingly attempted to put sage down for a nap. kid hasn't slept for 48 hrs. but on a positive note...eh, uh, balloons aren't too blunt? but they pop really loudly when Nonno messes around with 'em

how about some privaaarrrrcy?

2010-02-10T19:52:00.000-06:00

i'd advise you to leave that door closed.

Peanut: Dad was an '80s Joe Dirt (look him up) hillbilly who picked up the hot prom queen for the big dance

really, not far from reality at all...

there's snow business

2010-01-03T19:27:00.002-06:00

like snow business! the boys wrapped up man weekend with a polar adventure

suited up for the excursion

Nonno taught dad the plastic pants trick, though, i think mine were usually labeled Wonderbread

30 min. in, I informed Peanut that he can eat this stuff. He looked at me like I was crazy, then quickly crammed a handful in his mouth. Then he looked at me like "why didn't you tell me this when I could still feel my toes?!"

Warming up by the fire, then a cup of hot cocoa/mild sedative

pea soup

mom's visiting her grandparents this weekend. so, Peanut and Dad do manly things. kicking the day off with oatmeal and coffee

yesterday it was building train tracks and the cold park and watching some football. today, well, probably more of the same.
or, maybe some inspiration from the book I got Sage for Cmas

use two hands, daddy!

Mom asked Sage to throw away something today. He's very good at it. 30 seconds later, Mom rounds the corner to find Peanut w/a mouthful of some discarded holiday chocolate.
Mom: "Whoa, what are you eating, pal?"
Sage: "It's yummy!"

mama's bread

2009-12-19T19:00:00.000-06:00

which apparently works by putting crumbs through the top, into the 1 oz of orange juice at the bottom

it's yummy!

"leave no pumpkin untouched." that was our motto. and "this one's heavy, daddy!" yeah, and expensive. how about this little one, sage?

tio jorge drops by

2009-09-18T20:58:00.002-05:00

on his many travels, uncle george graced us with his presence. the kiddos liked him. sage still talks about uncle george's creepy finger man "tippy toe"

until next time, george! keep eating that oatmeal, and don't borrow anyone else's most favorite mug of all time and explode it in the microwave!

morning at the park with my old man

2009-09-15T10:49:00.003-05:00

to swing and slide and climb metal bars that were designed for a 10-year-old. only 2 semi-serious injuries as a result!

and to feed the duckies

the peanut has very good aim

we sacrificed many goldfishes (the cracker kind)

and no, they didn't come up to grab them from his hand, though he was very persistent

he said something about "foie gras." I said "eewww."

or maybe it was "phone gone," after I stopped taking pics.

happy birthday, mom!

2009-09-08T20:28:00.002-05:00

washing dishes for mom

blowing bubbles with mom

having English tea with mom

and, the fellas got to have ice cream with mom! then, a night out for dad and mom. lots of side benefits to mom's birthday. love you too much, mama!

tonight we met Gabo

2009-08-27T23:19:00.003-05:00

he's our newly-adopted international student from JBU! really excited to make him a part of our family. Sage said "hola" and proceeded to 1) woo lots of girls, 2) pop a giant balloon and make everyone jump, 3) eat a pint of ice cream at 7:30, 4) watch Gabo tie a cherry stem with his tongue, 5) yell "balloon broken!" like 18 times while this guy prayed and 6) stomp in puddles on the way out.
pictures of the whole crew soon, i hope.
and Gabo (short for Gabriel) likes to camp! i think this will work.

how sage winds down after a bowl of ice cream and a bed time an hour and a half late:

that boy sho' is a runnin' fool

sasquatch in the stands

good times with ben max and brent. sniff--my hs boys all grown up and heading to college

and so it begins

2009-07-31T20:12:00.003-05:00

the approach

the landing

hesitation

awkwardness

can we have a minute here, pops? just me and the frog.

ready to go to sleep, kid?
