This is my first attempt to do Finish the Sentence Friday. I always want to join in, but I end up being either already involved with something else or am just a day late and a dollar short. Not this time. I decided it was about time I got my act together and just DID IT!
Today’s sentence was “A Typical Day in my House looks like”:
There are not enough words to accurately describe what a normal day looks like in the Wiser-Genius household. So instead let me take you on a pictoral journey of sorts…
Watch your feet. Every day is lego armageddon here.
There is dress up, but not in the way you’re thinking…
Superhero suits are being developed and built. Yes, he built it himself, because that’s what he does.
Books are read. Many, many books.
We cook, usually healthier fare than this but I don’t always take good pictures.
There is always a need to extricate the dog from something at some point during the day.
Occasionally we even have some ideas.
Elaborate crafts are created (this is a homemade zamboni.)
We have fun just hanging out.
And there is always a lot of love.
My family may seem a little unusual compared to others, but the basic elements of a good family are all there. And that is what matters most. I hope you enjoyed the tour through a typical day at my house. Don’t be scared, please come back!
Now don’t walk, RUN to Can I Get A Bottle of Whine With My Morning Quiet Time? and/or Janine’s Confessions of a Mommyholic and/or Dawn’s Disaster and/or Mommy for Real (isn’t it great to have choices?) to read all of the other posts about days in blogger’s lives!
Also, since you’re running anyway, go on over to Baking in a Tornado and see what the swappers have come up with for the April Secret Subject Swap Take 1. It all goes live at 9 am Eastern time. I’ll be in on the swap next week!
The Sadder But Wiser Girl 
Ha, great family! My daughter was a pretty cool Ironman for Halloween last year.
I’d like to see my daughter recycle the brother’s Iron Man costume for a future Halloween!
Loved your tour of your family. And that is truly awesome that your husband creates stuff like that. Love it and thanks for linking up!! Truly enjoyed your first post with us and here is to many more!! 🙂
Yes! I have out of the four Fridays free each month, so I hope to do many more!
What’s really scary is that he’s designing the suit that goes with it. For fun.
Love looking at pictures of other people’s families. It’s obvious that you’re a very tight knit group who loves each other – really cute kiddos. Thanks for sharing with us!!
We’re a little nuts but we make it work.
OMGee. The homemade zambonee is just about the funniest thing ever. Your children are so inventive!
Yesterday she made a bathtub. Out of paper. I’m not kidding.
Your family doesn’t seem unusual to me. In fact, it seems very familiar!
That’s why we were destined to become friends, you know! 😉
Cute stuff!
They are pretty cute, I have to admit that!
Love your photo post (great minds think alike). My dog has to be untangled at least once a day too. Glad to see you at FTSF!
I had to untangle him from a trampoline today. I’m not kidding…
Your house seems like a wonderful place to hang out! Lots of love, lots of joy!
Sometimes. Usually the husband is pretty grumpy, but we have fun anyway.
I love that you did this in pictures and although I loved them all, your lightbulb really got me giggling. And thanks for the shout out for the Swap. See you there next week!
That lightbulb picture is one of my favorites because I’m weird like that. It’s actually a stress ball!
AWESOME. You have your own little flock of geeklings! That’s adorable…and very familiar.
Geeklings. I LIKE IT!
I love this! The Lego picture totally cracked me up! I am so glad you joined us for FTSF today- this was perfect post for the sentence- I really love seeing the family photos. It is so fun to get a look at everyone’s lives (and see that sometimes they resemble mine rather closely!)
Thanks! And I realized about five minutes ago that I missed you on naming the hosts for today’s FTSF. No snubbing intended and I’ll fix it!
Thanks for reminding me to let the dogs out! Are they watching Close Encounters? I love all the super hero stuff. Super heroes are awesome, try as I might the boy still prefers Rescur Rangers, as in Chip and Dale. There’s still time 🙂 Love the fact that we chose to go the same way with the post!
Your family is great. Love the photos!
Such a cute family!

That is VERY helpful! Thank you Katie! I’m sorry I didn’t find your hop before!
Wow. Your photo-tour of your day is awesome. Love the books. And the lightbulb pic.
We are an interesting bunch!
Hi!! Came directly through the link and BAM it worked!
I always love “A day in the life” posts via photos! And yours is really cute. 😀
I’m so glad you could see it! And glad you enjoyed it!
Yeah, not sure why it worked, but hey – just I’ll just be glad, right? 😉
I’m glad about it!
I LOVED the pictorial journey and your take on the assignment. You’ve actually made me want to participate in one of these (FTSF, I mean, not the lego. I’ve got that part covered). Your family seems very sweet 🙂
They are, sometimes! 😉
Homemade zamboni? Lego Armageddon? Your home sounds like you have the “basics” for a great family! Lego Armageddon is fun but also THE WORST at midnight, isn’t it? We have that at our house too and there’s a 99% chance I will twist my ankle on it in the coming years!
Oh we definitely have our moments…
I love the zamboni. Awesome. My 8yo loves the Death Star. Totally cool. You have a fun house!
Sometimes it is a lot of fun!
Love that zamboni! And super cute dog too. 🙂
He’s a rescue dog. And a dork.
The DIY superhero suits are so cool!!

You should have seen mine. Hey it has been awhile since Tie-dye girl made an appearance!
I love seeing the family pics–but what had me laughing the hardest was the picture of the dog with stuff attached to his leash–especially after all the conversations we have had about this animal. Love it!!!
He is nonstop aggravation/entertainment when it comes to that stuff!
I love everything about this post! It’s so clear you guys have a great time at your house and you love each other very much. If I had kids, I’m pretty sure the pictures from my day would look similar.
Oh, and I’m TOTALLY taking that before and after photo of the Legos. It’s a metaphor for my whole life.
Hmmmmm… possibly mine too.
I think the only picture I haven’t seen before is the one of your husband with his superhero suit! It feels like I’m part of the family and can flop down on your couch and put my feet up on the table!
Well then come on over, bring the kids (because I’ll feel really gypped if you don’t at least bring Bency). We’re making no-bake cookies today! (I just felt my pants get tighter)
haha!! We’ll be right there especially if there is cookies involved! Are you making them with cocoa and oatmeal? The only reason why I ask is because I did a post on those a long, long time ago and all of a sudden I have had a lot of search engine searches for those…all of a sudden they are very popular or something!!
Yes they are made with cocoa and oatmeal-I always thought they had peanut butter in them, but maybe I never paid much attention to what went in them at the preschool. They are sooooo good. I had at least three, then I made my husband hide them!
I do put peanut butter in mine and then we put gummy worms on top because they kind of look like a big lump of dirt! They are really addictive!
That sounds good! My kids wouldn’t like the gummy worms but I would! Have you ever made “dirt” (I think it’s crushed oreos, and cool whip in cups with gummy worms on top)? It’s the best!
It’s lego armageddon here, too. Loved your photos! Cool way to do this post! I’m crushin’ on you a little bit now.
Thanks! I think you’re pretty awesome too! 😉
