This is my hypothetical yearbook picture from 1980. Dude, it’s totally rad!

If you’re looking for some amusement, head on over to Yearbook Yourself and may your own nostalgic fake year book pic. It’s pretty extreme to the max (and other phat 80’s exclamations).

Here’s some useful camping/hiking tips from Dwight.

I woke up this morning and walked down the hall in a sleepy stupor when I saw some peculiar warning signs. I found this (and others like it) placed on the floor and leading up a pile of dog barf (not pictured) on the carpet. James (6yr old) woke up saw the mess and posted signs around so we wouldn’t step on it. I don’t want to think of what would have happened had he not placed the warning signs.

Ha ha. I love my kids. I only wish James could run around ahead of me, putting warning signs in all areas of my life.

Heather sent me a link to the great blog, “Stuff Christians Like” and they featured this hilarious game: “Indian Jones or the Bible.”

Or if you feel like testing your Indy IQ go here for a harder challenge.

A town in South America is living in fear after several sightings of a ‘creepy gnome’ that locals claim stalks the streets at night.

The midget – which wears a pointy hat and has a distinctive sideways walk – terrified group of youngsters. [the Sun]

Read more here about the evil gnome.

Guess he’s a St. Patty’s day hold over. Nobody told the little guy to turn the costume back in – he may lose his deposit.

Here’s the evil gnome caught on film.

Samuel (2yrs old) has had a problem lately with emotional outbursts followed up with incoherent whining. Fed up with this, I decided that what he needed was perspective. So we decided to watch the following clip from Anchorman.

His reaction? “That man is crying and he said burrito.” Well put, son.

So I asked him if he wants to be like the crying burrito man. He said, “Nooooo.”

And it’s actually begun to work. This afternoon he got mad for some reason and entered his own “glass case of emotion.” I walked over and told him he looked like Ron Burgundy. Then he stopped.

Coincidence? I think not.

So remember parents, Anchorman can work for you too.

Note: the boy posed for the above picture. No toddlers were harmed in the making of this blog post.
