under careful supervision, of course. I'm certainly not the world's best cook, but I can still make really good mashed potatoes and French toast.

We have a kitchen aid but my wife has never showed us how to use it. It’s a mystery like magic alien technology. Ooooooh fire

They headed to the park to hangout. I asked can I go you guys playing football. As at times you know I play QB FOR both sides. Or I joke and say you know dad was quite the linebacker inside and outside in my high school days. Their reply we know dad we heard the stories. Uh no dad you cannot come and their meeting two friends who are girls AJT. They plan on swinging on the swings I said hey I’m a expert swing guy.

I bet they mumbled and rolled their eyes. I have to ask. Do you have to set heavy objects on the crockpot lid to keep the Boog out of it?

Last Thanksgiving, Elliott my Corgi/Great Pyranees mix (Yes you read that right) pulled the turkey to the floor that was resting on the cutting board. I got hysterical laughing. Elliott thought it was great fun.

The boog leaves crockpot alone. Reason is we have it pushed back into corner and he cannot reach it.

had 12 gallons of whole milk. He saw the curious look on my face and said "3 days worth of milk for my 4 teenage sons." Wow, boys are just eating machines.....kind of like the boog, but with 2 legs.

I’m usually buying a gallon of milk every other day. I can make half gallon skim last a couple days basically just for coffee. Then if or if the guys at times will get chocolate milk and that is gone in flash. And the dogs their waiting on dinner I put gravy and some beef carrots in the bowls with dry dog food . I’m like fellas it has to cool down and the dogs their like man were hungry. So all three of them are on the sectional with me watching every move.
