Big Bad Gus And The Family Blog

Yesterday I finally had a chance to watch this week’s American Idol.  Wow, once again I am reminded that Paula Abdul desperately needs a new stylist.   I had no idea what to think about the asymetrical sequined shiny ice skating costume-like thing she had on on Tuesday.  Actually,  I did.  FONKY!  To top it off, [...]

This pic is from the 10 second Easter Egg Hunt at our community park.  There were so many kids, it was over in an instant.  Still cute! 

On Saturday, we dyed a dozen eggs.  Somehow only 10 made it back into the carton.  It could be because Gus was squishing them!!!!   Do you see his Hulk [...]

Last Sunday we went up to RR to the Shrine Carnival at Dell Diamond.  A fun time was had by all, but mostly by you know who.  There were many kiddie rides and we took Gus on the mini-train, the helicopters (his favorite b/c of the steering wheel), the really big slide, the firetruck, the [...]

For those of you that know me from wayyy back when, you know I was an overweight kid for many reasons and that health (not necessarily weight) is important to me.  When I was pregnant I was obsessed with Childbirth and babies.  After I had Gus, I was obsessed with nursing and sleeping and just about [...]

I wouldn’t say that most bugs are spectacular or pretty, but this one was.  What kind of bug is it?  Anyone know?

By this point, we all know Gus loves hats.  Alot.  In an attempt to reorganize our house (and to get Char to get rid of a few hats), I put the hat rack in what used to be my office until we sell it.  Gus wandered in and was amazed how the hats were no longer [...]

We played outside for a long while today.  This the first day I have ever noticed Gus drenched in sweat.  I guess this is what the summer will bring.  Lots and lots of toddler sweat.  Super.  :) 

And The Gap said this hat size was for 2-3 years. I am ten times that age and it fits me just fine. I mean, I might look like an idiot, but it still fits.

I listed a rug on Craigslist last week and got a call today.   The nice couple came over to look at it and it was none other than Colin and Christie from Season 5 of the Amazing Race.  I don’t watch, but thought they looked familiar.  They were super nice people!  Random.
