Looking for a commentary that uses big words and ponders the deeper meanings of various topics? Well...you've come to the wrong place. This blog is all about extolling the greatness of Christ, the joy of marriage, the rollercoaster ride called parenthood, the supremacy of the 1980's...and doing all of it at a fifth grade reading level!

Weekend Lessons

Robin made the 3-1/2 hour journey to scenic Howe, TX, this weekend to be with her family. Her Uncle Dave is in the final stages of a long battle with Leukemia, and she wanted to see him before he went to be with the Lord. I'll elaborate more on this at a later time.

So it was just Elijah and Daddy for the weekend. And the Beach Boys couldn't have written it any better than when they penned the words to "Fun, Fun, Fun."

While the weekend was full of valuable lessons, time permits me to only share a few with you.

1) Pizza is a viable option for any and every meal...and should be regarded as such.

2) It doesn't matter how many kids are in our house, the Campbell's will ALWAYS find a way to be late to church.

3) "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody" and "That's So Raven" are HORRIBLE baby sitters!

4) Elijah is afraid of Harry Potter movies.

5) When Dad says "Clean your room," kids hear you saying, "Hey, relax - watch more TV and spill some popcorn on the floor."

6) Elijah LOVES "spaghetti westerns" like "High Plains Drifter."

7) Everyone is glad when mommy comes home!!!

1) We subscribe to this dietary recommendation at the Stirman house when Troy travels.

2) So you're saying it's the BOYS that are the tardy factor? Sounds like it.

3)But the kids love it SO much -- yeah, they're bad.

4) Duh.

5)I think they hear, "Just get out of this room for a while." And sometimes that is actually the message.

6) He and Troy would enjoy some quality viewing.

7) I'm sure mommy was glad to be home -- especially after #s 1,4,and5.
