We’ve just left Parrot Mountain and now here we are at Wonderworks. Wonderworks calls themselves an “Amusement Park for the Mind” that offers things such as an Inversion Tunnel (My kids freaked out and refused to go thru this.), a Bubble Lab, Optical Illusion Art, a Light and Sound Zone, Disaster Simulators, and tons more!

Some things run in the family… Guess who else has OCD and a feet picking problem? The Queen herself. See people? Socks don’t make a difference…unless they’re made of iron and have padlocks on them before you can take them off. But then, I guess it would be difficult to find shoes to fit over these socks. And, of course, the [...]

Happy Accident #3: We got a turd on the way.
By Jane on November 29, 2010
Yes, that’s my bloated belly. Yes, I over-indulged and thoroughly enjoyed all the yummies we had for Thanksgiving. Yes, I ate too much. However, this is only partially why I’ve got the added weight. We are excited (and initially very surprised) to find out that we have our “turd” happy accident on da way. What can [...]

A blue pacifier lollipop may not be manly but definitely signs of a great dad.
By Jane on December 20, 2009
Mark Anthony is a super duper guy, husband, father and brother-in-law. I liked him immediately when I met him. He’s also quite funny and silly. Here Mark is enjoying one of those pacifier lollipops…a blue one.

Jane and Dick: Part-time actors/models.
By Jane on October 13, 2009
Remember I mentioned that Dick and I do some acting and modeling on the side? Well, we almost never get to see the work nor do we hardly receive copies of our work. Occasionally, friends will see our commercials and mention it to us but since we hardly watch TV, we almost never see the [...]

While at the park, Thelma found a great piece of wood and brought it home. She saw the potential in this decorative piece.

Breast Feeding: The pros and cons of having watermelons for boobs.
By Jane on June 29, 2011
I love nursing. Aside from it being the best milk for your child (unless you’re downing shots of tequila daily or shooting up heroine), for someone who is lazy like me, it’s perfect except for two three things…they’re too huge, having to wear a bra 24/7 and fatty armpits. Yes, fat armpits! WATERMELONS One being [...]

Hangnails: Amazing how such a tiny thing can cause SO MUCH PAIN.
By Jane on March 12, 2010
Hangnails are the absolute WORST. They are little pieces of torn skin around your cuticles and it’s usually because your skin is dry. Mine is dried to hell from painting and washing my hands constantly. Plus, it’s winter and my bony hands just get dry. One time, I held my own hand and I was [...]

Surprise visit on my birthday.
By Jane on April 10, 2011
I’m 36 this year. Not a major milestone. And, with me being pregnant this year, no dress-up party like last year. Remember mine and June’s joint birthday bash… Pimps N’ Ho’s? I just wasn’t feelin’ it this year and just wanted to chill with my family. My birthday started out with Dick and the girls making [...]

Vietnam??? Looks more like Hawaii. The fam visits a popular Western Resort, Phu Quoc.
By Jane on February 28, 2011
My mom had heard of a popular island, Phu Quoc, that had been renovated into a beautiful resort where mostly, the clientel are Westerners and Europeans. She had heard it was so popular that it was nearly impossible to find a hotel room because it was their peak season and they were booked! Well, they were [...]

No way you are throwing away those beautiful orchids…
By Jane on February 11, 2010
I was walking around one of my favorite super markets and I see this lady ripping off all these beautiful stems with these gorgeous orchid blossoms that still looked fresh. Not being one who is shy to ask, I asked her if she was going to throw them away. She was and asked if I [...]

Smells like poo. Sh**! Literally!
By Jane on December 29, 2010
On our way home from picking up the Futon Mattresses, we’re in the car and I smell something weird. “I smell something.” Dick brushes it off as my sensitivity to smells from being pregnant. “I don’t smell anything. You’re nose is just sensitive right now.” We drive a little further. “Seriously, I smell something. Smells [...]

“Sherlock and Watson” on the search for a Wasp Nest.
By Jane on November 19, 2009
In the last few days we’ve killed about 3 wasps in our house. Wasps, not bees. Their sting is much worse, or so I’ve heard, but I’m not wanting to find out first hand. I’m not scared of bees at all but for some reason, wasps, hornets or yellow jackets seem way angrier and scarier. [...]

A gorgeous, antique Mercedes 280 SL.
By Jane on May 6, 2010
We were on the interstate when we spotted this BEAUTIFUL Antique Mercedes 280 SL convertible. It’s GORGEOUS and looks WELL taken care of. I love the antique blue with the cream interior. This would be a car I wouldn’t mind having. Dick LOVES it. Wants one. Good thing we have the same taste. Mine is, [...]

Honey, I wanna be a desperate housewife!
By Jane on January 14, 2012
I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything. I’m a blogging LOSER these days and APOLOGIES! I can’t seem to find the time or energy to blog these days. (That being said, I’m so appreciative that our loyal Jane and Dick fans still visit our site daily and even read our old stories!) With [...]

Getting our energy out at the Gymnastics place.
By Jane on September 23, 2010
We have access to a great Gymnastics place that opens up their gym to the public and allows kids to run around and play at their HUGE facility for only $5 an hour per child! Believe me, an hour is plenty. We’re not interested in adding yet another activity to our schedules but I love [...]

Ice Skating fun turns into a trip to the ER. Yes, stitches required.
By Jane on October 30, 2009
As I may have mentioned, Thelma is taking ice skating lessons and cannot get enough of it. She wants to go at every opportunity and likes to get there early so she can maximize ice time. We went for a private lesson today to prepare for a competition that is coming up. She had her [...]

Flying Southwest Back to Metropolis: Going back home after a month.
By Jane on January 11, 2010
It’s been a month that we’ve been in LA. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed myself. It’s the first time EVER that I’ve never spent Christmas with my parents but it’s also the first time EVER that I’ve spent Christmas in such warm, lovely weather. Los Angeles is crazy but I really will miss their weather. I had [...]

Getting my HAMMOCK ON in the fall.
By Jane on October 12, 2010
Cousin MIA had given me a hammock she had picked up along her travels around Central America. I believe she got this one in Nicaragua. It’s taken me a while to put my hammock up since summer was just too hot and full of bugs. However, this time of year is IDEAL for a hammock in [...]

Brussel Sprouts: Love em or Leave em?
By Jane on April 29, 2010
Whenever people talk about kids not wanting to eat their veggies, somehow Brussel Sprouts come to mind. The girls and I were reading about why it’s good it eat veggies that are in season and why they are good for you. It is good for you to eat vegetables that are in season because you [...]
