Fifteen!

Fifteen means driving to school and work alone!

And me tracking on Google maps...

#LivingWithBoys: Is a taste bigger than a bite?

It all started with a pack of Ramen.

One boy was making Ramen. The other boy said he wasn't cooking it right.

Um... there's really only one way to make Ramen.

Then one boy asked for a taste of the Ramen after it was done.

And then...the debate.

"Mom. What's bigger...a taste or a bite? Like, how many tastes are in a bite?"

"No, a bite is bigger than a taste, because you have to 'BITE IT' to taste it."

"But a bite can have several tastes..."

This lively debate went on for 30 minutes...all while one boy is throwing a ball in the air and the other is flipping one of those foam rollers used for exercising.

😒

Solar Eclipse

Everyone's buzzing about the solar eclipse. Kansas will have a pretty good view, with 90 percent of the sun blocked in most parts of the state. It's the first coast-to-coast solar eclipse since 1918!

The "time to view" was around 1 p.m. in Wichita. I went over to Oma and Papa's to share the view. The boys were watching at school.

First Day of School 2017

8th grade and Freshman.

Here is the first day of school five years ago. Zach in 3rd grade, Adam in 4th grade.

Adam is a Freshman, so he had to start a day early at the high school, while Zach got one more day of freedom. Even worse, Adam had 6 am soccer practice the whole first week of school!

Zach ended up going to school the day before (when only 6th graders were there) because cross country practice started that day. #Dedicated
