Trish Haley

I don't know how she manages it but she gets cuter with every picture! Does she give lessons? - pea

She does, Pea! Just a few sessions in her company will have you giggling and what remedy is better than laughter? - Trish Haley from iPhone

It's good to just shrug and let them enjoy sometimes :-) - Jen Hodges

Yep, Jen. Builds neural connections. And it's good practice keeping the blood pressure in check. For the mommy, that is. - Trish Haley from iPhone

corazon! What a mess! :) - Yolanda

It is good that I missed this. Grouchy Smurf hates messes! ;) - Josh Haley

jealous - MicahBear78

We were there in January! - Michelle Martinez

I'm jealous too. and THAT'S MY FAMILY. - Josh Haley

I thought Zoe was sick? Is she sharing the bug with other kids? - Louis Gray

When we first moved here we had annual passes and it got old, but it has been renovated and it is amazing! There are three floors now and my favorite is the Tot Spot. We almost got kicked out of the toddler section for starting a plastic ball war. Zoe got on live TV with Channel 2 News because they were doing Trick or Treating. My phone died that's why you're getting all this after the fact. - Trish Haley from iPhone

Oh, and Zoe's not sick anymore. Five days of stomach flu was enough, sheesh! - Trish Haley from iPhone

She was on TV? Famous Zoe! - Rochelle

she is very curious ,, what a cutie - johnpiercy

She's so cute. - Mark Wilson

Louis, her visiting Nana was first to get sick, then Zoe, then the boys and Trish, then me. By the time I started getting it, Zoe was pretty much "all bedder". :) - Josh Haley

What-what? on da news? record it, yo! - Josh Haley

=) - David Cook

So, so cute. - Alix Whitmire

lil Zoe is so cute! :-)) - Anna Haro

I didn't know I could do that! - Trish Haley

Trish, Josh will hate me, but there are sticker kits that he can apply to the patches and will survive the wash. That's what I use. - Jesse Stay

Huh. I guess that would make life easier. I was thinking you were pretty amazing to be sewing your patches on. Sneaky. - Trish Haley

We just used the stickers for our new scout. For years we had sewn them on (well, we had someone sew them on for us). But no more. Badge Magic FTW (http://www.badgemagic.com) - Craig Eddy

? Guess no badge was for sewing. - m9m, Crone of FriendFeed

I'm thinking this is the last time I do this. - Trish Haley

:) - sofarsoShawn

Thanks Craig for the link... I'll be looking into it for future. Oh... wait. I have a fabric glue that I use for making hair bows. Going to try it. :D - Trish Haley

The Scout Stores have them, too - Jesse Stay

Done! I sewed two knots, glued one knot and six others. That would have taken me hours if I had sewn them all. - Trish Haley

Jealous! :D - tinypants - Hagitha of FF

DOES NOT COMPUTE. I AM AT WORK. - Josh Haley

I've been there! ^-^ - Lindsey is Fierce!

Living in Space demo revealed that each astronaut has their own funnel for collecting urine, even the women. - Trish Haley from iPhone

I WANT A URINE FUNNEL! - Josh Haley

Josh, they give them out for free at Burning Man! - joey

I WILL NEVER GET A URINE FUNNEL. - Josh Haley

Going cheap and fast! http://www.kleargear.com/1242... (PS - someone gave one of these to me as a gag gift two years ago...wish I'd saved it) - tinypants - Hagitha of FF

The urine funnel is unique to his or her own shape. No one size fits all. - Trish Haley from iPhone

cute kids. I don't know how you pulled that off, but dang nabbit, they are cute! :-) - Morgan Haley

Good ornamentally, peel useful, but useless as eating fruit. - Spidra Webster

I don't want to ever see it again. - Jeremy

Oooo, tentacles! - Joe Silence is not dead

(-_-)zzzzzzz too cute! (x_x) - Anna Haro

best. feeling. ever. Being a daddy is the best. - Josh Haley

agreed! that said, two is DEFINITELY my limit! :D - Joe Silence is not dead

Oh my gosh, look at those adorable little feet! :D - tinypants - Hagitha of FF

aww. My TX BFF is super cute. I *heart* her. - pea

Damn! I've been in that van! I feel violated! - Akiva Moskovitz

Violated in the future....you just might be able to pull that off, Akiva. - Josh Haley

wow that sucks. awesome pictures though. - Carlos Ayala

Trish is a photographress major from university days, but she's a little shy. - Josh Haley

The pictures are great. - Joe

Josh get her a pro account on flickr and have her pipe those images to clustershot. you may have a gold mine on your hands. As a matter of fact, stop posting pictures Josh; yours suck, hers Rock! - Carlos Ayala

Josh's pictures suck. Trish's pictures rock. So Josh - You should go suck rocks. - Morgan Haley

Thanks Carlos and Joe and Morgan! Akiva, I've already got a new window in it. I hope we can move forward and work through our mutual feelings. - Trish Haley

Josh - it was the kids across the street. I'm sure of it. Send me the coordinates and I'll call in an air strike. Or if you prefer to go old school, I'll ship you my sandblasting kit and some assorted tie downs. Then next time I visit, we can kidnap those bastards, strap them to the wall and sandblast the skin off their left legs, starting about mid-thigh and working downwards. that will teach them to break Trish's window! - Morgan Haley

oh, wait. i don't have a sandblaster...darn it. well, i guess you should just forget about the window and be grateful that you got some cool photos out of the whole thing....those kids got lucky...this time....mwa hahahahaha! - Morgan Haley

Morg, you're kind of freakish with the power tools, aren't cha? But DEFINITELY a good thing that it was just my window and not one of my kids that got hit by a mystery object. One of our neighbors came by today while we were outside setting up the four square again (since it rained super hard last night) and said that a pebble could have hit the window and bounced to the ground instead of going into the car. Hmmm. - Trish Haley

Trish - that guy, the one that has the theory about the 'magical pebble of destruction', yeah, he's on the list with the kids from across the street. we might just have to schedule him for some amateur laser eye surgery night. I'll get the soldering gun and some new X-acto blades just in case... - Morgan Haley

Man, I don't feel so bad about my car getting egged the other day now. Dang. That's awful, Trish!! - Her Lindsay-ness

HAHAHAHA... I am so freaked out by lasik surgery. You scare me, Morgan. @Lindsay, I still hope you catch the punks who egged your car. You can borrow Morgan when you do. - Trish Haley

*is deeply grateful that he can park his vehicles inside a locked-down garage* - Joe Silence is not dead

I am available for hire. You know, revenge cases, annoying neighbor's dog 'accidents', children's parties, etc. *note - i do not empty septic tanks nor do i dress up as a clown at any time* - Morgan Haley

UPDATE: three cars in our neighborhood were hit yesterday, one belonging to a family we know. The cops better take note that there's some punk walking or riding around bashing in people's windows. - Trish Haley

Wow. So much for the rogue pebble theory! - Rochelle

I think you should import Morgan to implement PUNKWATCH. - Spidra Webster

Morgan would end up in prison for provoked, justifiable, yet still illegal manslaughter. It would ruin Christmas. - Josh Haley

BREAKING NEWS UPDATE: Several cars on our street were hit today. I talked to one of the neighbors while she cleaned up shattered glass. She said there were hundreds hit last night in two other neighborhoods. The police officers had to call in reinforcements just to deal with the amount of reports that are coming in. I've seen police cars patrolling our neighborhood all week, so I hope they catch the punks. Morgan called it. They're using a BB Gun. - Trish Haley

Oh my goodness. That's terrible. I hope the ends soon. - Miriella

nice pics! You should have the neighborhood thugs come by and break more stuff. I wonder if Josh's iPhone glass would shatter in a pretty pattern like that? :-O - Jim Hearts FF

@Miriella, thank you for your sympathy. I'm worried that we will get hit again now that I've fixed the window. :( @Jim, you kill me sometimes :) - Trish Haley

notice I said nothing about YOUR iPhone. ;) - Jim Hearts FF

I WOULD NOT SAY SUCH THINGS IF I WERE YOU! - Josh Haley

"And when I say that you are a coward it is only because you are the slimiest weakling ever to crawl the earth." :-P - Jim Hearts FF

You're bluffing. - Josh Haley

Oh, we went the $4 route, but forgot to mention the lady with three kids that she kept raising her arm to. Zoe was sympathetic to the one little boy who kept getting hit for real. - Trish Haley

:( - joey

$140 - pea

Oh that's awful! Poor kids. They were probably just unable to keep still because of the long wait. (The wait sucks, too.) - Trish R

I had another option: drive 45 minutes into town and pay $10 for a very little wait. - Trish Haley

I would have went the $4 route too but it would have sucked ass - Lindsey is Fierce!

@Trish, she was very unreasonably impatient with them. And the wait did SUCK. Like Lindsey said. - Trish Haley

they say time is money but I am not sure of the exchange rate. - Martha from BuddyFeed

I'm having a great day golfing! :D - Josh Haley from iPhone

OK, not really. Sorry hon! :( - Josh Haley from iPhone

I'd have gone with the $4 one, but ugh. :( - Alix Whitmire

What's worse than either is getting meningitis. - J.D. Deutschendorf

Yes, homeschoolers count, too! - Trish Haley

Oh, and you can apply for an educators discount card to receive 10% off all year round. I wish I had known that the last time we were there buying books for their curriculum. - Trish Haley
