Phipps Feeding Fiasco

The experience
I had a looooonnnnnng day today and got home after five.  I joined Benji who was already eating a snack and Ogre didn’t realize I was home.  I didn’t know he had to be somewhere for a meeting this evening and Mina was with Grandpoo and Oma.  Our family is so disorganized!  He called [...]

The experience
Today both Ogre and I were home this morning with Benji, I asked Ogre if wanted to get something to eat. Now, when I say that I want something to eat anytime before noon, it usually means I want breakfast.  Options are limited if we’re going to fulfill childsplate requirements, but I thought that a [...]

The experience
Today we had to run an errand with Benji so we picked him up from Lala’s house and went to eat lunch.  We decided to eat at Deno’s Grill, a little neighborhood restaurant that we’ve tried to hit in the past, but, I think, was closed on Sundays.  It was open for lunch today, [...]

The experience
So first off, if you read this one once before it was different.  Its not a trick.  Grace had written this the first time but then our server went down and we lost it.  So here is my version.  Mina was out late with my parents on her usual Wednesday night so when Mina [...]

The experience
I drove around trying to find one of Mina’s after school activities (this place is ridiculous to find) and as I was driving through downtown Plano, I noticed a “NOW OPEN” sign.  Hmmm, interesting.  After class, I asked Mina if she wanted to eat Sushi (I also saw a sushi joint when I was driving [...]

The experience
We were going to be in the West Plano area tonight and gave Mina the choice of eating at a Hawaiian BBQ joint or Zea Woodfire Grill.  Surprisingly, Mina chose “the woodfire place.”  So, we drove to Zea Woodfire Grill with Benjamin sleeping in his car seat.  Would be two nights in a row [...]

The experience
Today was the day that Ogre would be spending all day at the office with Adrienne.  Tony and I would be chilling at home with the kids.  We got a call around 12:15 to “be ready” for when they wrapped up what they were doing and headed home to pick us up (we needed [...]

The experience
Well, folks, we just got back from Brenham.  Literally.  The kids were put to the bed, I hopped in the shower and now I’m going to blog before finally going to bed and having to wake up for work in about 6 hours.  Awesome. Why were we in Blue Bell country? One of my best [...]

The experience
It’s Day 2 of our “Great Wolf Adventure.”  Mina woke up at around 7am.  Benji did not wake up until, oh, 9am.  So, she and Papa went to get a breakfast snack.  Once, all of Team Phipps was up and at ‘em, we headed to the breakfast  buffet at the Loose Moose Cottage.  We [...]

The experience
We headed out with no destination again tonight.  I am working downtown this week, which means I leave for work at 6:15, which means I like to get to bed early, which means we have to eat dinner early or quickly, preferably both.  Well, we didn’t head out of the house until 6:30 and [...]
