  • Kid Craziness

    Every time you think you have a handle on kids, they find new ways to make you nuts.  Luke had a fever last evening, took a nap, and then ended up going to bed late (10:45).  At 2:20, he woke up howling.  I was guessing that either his ibuprofen ran out, or a stuffy nose…

  • Oh yeah, that’s OCD

    I’m always getting yelled at at home for not organizing our silverware when emptying the dishwasher.  The Mrs. giggled with glee when I showed her the slightly over the top organization of these forks at Pastabilities.

  • Big Ole Pile o’ Puke with a Roof on It

    Yep, that’s the Crowther house lately. Both kids were (are?) veritable bombs ready to go off at any time.  #2 went off a few time during the day yesterday.  #1 waited until the middle of the night, letting go 4 times in 90 minutes (requiring multiple changes of bedding and pajamas.) All the while, I’ve…

  • Behind The Awkwardness: Vacuum Boy

      Behind The Awkwardness: Vacuum Boy « AwkwardFamilyPhotos.com 03/19/2013. I swear that could be a picture from the Crowther album.  My brother Jim was (and is) a vacuum fanatic.   Loved his ‘carpee biz’.

  • Ruining the Magic

    After watching a zillion different Muppet related clips lately, curiosity got the better of me and I started to wonder just how some of the muppets work.  Especially the ones like Swedish Chef how appear to have 2 fully articulated hands.  Be sure to watch all 3 parts. Just need to make sure I don’t…

  • Paul Crowther and the Self-Fulfilling Prophecies

    The extent of my music playing ability is pushing play.  My younger brother got all the music talent.  Here’s a clip from one of his recent solo shows: PAUL CROWTHER AND THE SELF-FULFILLING PROPHECIES @ THE DEV UTICA NY from Zombek on Vimeo.

  • Start ’em young.

    There’s a running gag in our house regarding who of us is the most OCD.  Recently, for the fun of it, I swapped the tops on two sippy cups sitting out on the counter, putting a blue top on a pink bottle and vice versa. Within 10 seconds of entering the kitchen, Jilly honed in…

  • Another Muppets Favorite

    Giggle from both of the kids.

  • How Degrading…

    First, you’ve got me wearing a heart shaped valentine’s themed bib.  Second, the bib says first valentines.  Third, I’m drinking out of a pink sippy cup.  Well, never mind the last one, its way better than the blue one.

  • Booster Seat? Be gone.

    Ok, now we’re done with the booster seat.   No injuries yet, ascending and descending our bar height kitchen table chairs.
