SNAP! Insights 2014

Well, SNAP! has come and gone again. It seems like I was just blogging about SNAP! a few posts ago. Maybe that's because it was a few posts ago, and my posts have gotten farther and farther apart. More on where I've been and what I've been up to (other than succulents) in a future post. I first need to reflect on this past week's SNAP! adventures.

Mandy once again enjoyed a lovely three-day vaccay out west. I hear she got to hob-knob with big wigs from the social marketing departments of a well-known glue company, meet semi-famous celebrities, participate in a "thrift-store tour" (JEALOUS), do some 80's dancing with a bunch of blogging ladies (I've seen the videos making the social media rounds-and haven't slept well since), and share a bed with someone that she's known for years in the blog world but just met in real life (jealous, Kimbo).

Meanwhile, I got to hang with the kiddos for a few days and wear the mom and the dad hats. In typical bullet point fashion, here's a few things I learned while Mandy was away:

• Dishwashers stop working if you don't scrape the big chunks off before loading.
• Kids have a lot more fun at "Take Your Child to Work Day" when they get to ride a forklift vs staying home to do a craft.
• When you hear "my belly hurts" from the way-back seat of the mini-van, you have exactly six seconds to pass back a puke container.
• Six seconds is not enough.
• A paper plate is not a puke container.
• Speaking of plates, Corelle plates are not unbreakable.
• It helps to ask each kid if they remembered shoes before getting to the airport to pick up your wife entourage-style. 
• Piggy-back rides get a little long when the flight is 20 minutes late.
