This is a blog about our life. 
Mike and I sat here tonight discussing a good name for a blog. Rather than come up with a simple straightforward name, we wanted something that just screamed "This is our life!"
Just yesterday we were laughing over an article by Gene Weingarten in the Washington Post. He comes up with "Googlenopes". Basically it means that until he writes them in his articles, they are a string of quoted words that result in no hits on Google. Some examples: "My grandchildren are so ugly" or "hot cheese sundae" or "Pizza with Condoleeza". Alas, we cannot claim that our blog is a Googlenope. In fact, it is even a title of a book! No... we didn't know that ahead of time. I indeed tried Googling our blog title to see if it was a Googlenope and had 851 hits! Apparently we are not the only ones that have problems with Italian dishes flying vertically. Still, we decided to keep the name. If you forget that we use blogspot, you'll just have to search through 852 hits to find the correct link to our blog. So, put it in your favorites now. LOL
Despite the fact that others have said these words, they are definitely four words we never would've strung together 8 years ago ... before kids. As we contemplated the other possible names for the blog, we realized a lot of them were things we'd never really say either. So I thought I'd list a few of our possible titles (and a few that really didn't come close). Some may speak for themselves. Some may confuse you. A few may make our closest friends and family burst out laughing. In any case, brainstorm and just see how creative you can be in figuring these out:
Potatoes and Pinecones
A Clock, a President and a Train Engine
Handprints on the Wall
Blue Fingerprints
Our Smurfs
Inspector is Coming; Two Weeks Till Closing
Hole in the Wall
Why We Paint
Why We Paint... a LOT!
Sharpies on the Carpet
Washable Markers From Now On!
What's Dripping?
This is Why We Can't Have Nice Things
Toilet, Floors and Drywall... and It's Only May!
Orthodontics, Ophthamology, and Orthopedics
51 Toes
Why Do Our Parents Chuckle So Much?
Why is Grandma Laughing?
How to Raise a Fry Cook
Training Wheels and Swim Floaties
A Chatterbox, a Princess, and a Maniac
Plastic Dixie Cup
Did You Know ER Doctors Dress Up on Halloween?
Brown Noodles
Poptarts and Pie Cookies
Graffiti
Get Home Now or Find Someone Who Can
Guess What I'm Looking At!
8:00 PM Sigh
My Hands are Backwards
Whose Poop is This?
Secret Six, Brownies and Heroes
White Jeans and Kids
Oh, I'm sure if I sat here for hours, I could come up with hundreds more. But, it's late, and tomorrow is another day. Sure... some of the above statements can make our blood pressure rise, but we wouldn't want our life any other way.
