Thought of the day


Ms. Frizzle celebrated her 9th birthday last weekend in the best way possible as she was splashing around in the water, her all-time favorite activity!
It’s hard to believe it’s been nine years since we brought the best girl home from Cabela’s back in 2016. Every day with her has been an adventure, and I’m so grateful she’s part of our family!





It’s the end of an era for Mrs. Shife as she gets ready to start an exciting new chapter on Monday! 
After 11 incredible years helping children and families as an occupational therapist at a pediatric clinic, today was her last day.
Definitely a bittersweet moment. 
Change can be a little scary, but if anyone’s ready for it, it’s her. 
She’s amazing.
There’s no doubt she’ll quickly become a beloved member of the team just like she did before. 
Of course, saying goodbye to the wonderful friends and families she’s supported over the years isn’t easy. But here’s to fresh starts, new adventures and plenty more lives touched by her kindness and skill.

Frizzle Appreciation Month

Besides getting another year older, Ms. Frizzle also played fetch. 
She also farted on an elevator.
It was wrong on so many levels!
And then Ms. Frizzle farted at a dinner party.
Lucy turned to her and said, “How dare you fart in front of me!” 
Frizz said, "I'm sorry, I didn't realize it was your turn!”


Here's the crate:

Thanks for stopping by, and I will talk to you soon.
Bye!! 



I will persevere.
I will keep moving forward.
I will be the stream.

  2. Best of luck to Mrs. Shife in her new job! Middle Child went to OT for about 5 years. It takes a lot of patience to help children in that capacity, so a big THANK YOU from me.

    I celebrated my 9th birthday with my brother and his friends. My mom thought it would be a GREAT!! IDEA!!! to share our party!!! Still a little salty about that. Changing jobs is hard, even when it's going to be a good fit and you're doing the thing that's best for you. Hope your wife person enjoys her new gig. Working with kids is a noble thing. I say this so people will consider me noble, lol.

  6. Congrats to Frizzle and the Missus; Frizzle for another trip around the sun and the Missus for change, which I think is a good thing.
    I annoyed at that sign because my Penguin smokes, drinks, swears and is buck naked almost all the time and now I can't take him out???

  7. What new adventure is Mrs. Shife off to? Making changes is exciting but also can be scary. (for me the first days of any job was terrifying, even when it was only a new school year at the same school) That haircut one made me laugh. I used to be that person who wondered why the beautiful hair style in the photo didn't make me a movie star.

  9. We give a lot of undue credit to televisions these days for being "smart" when they probably are less intelligent than a 5 year old.

  13. Nine is very good! And dog farts? Sometimes you need a Mark V gas mask. And I wonder why Netflix does that?
