HELLO

Hi. I'm Amanda...a happy wife and mom to three awesome guys. We've lived here in Fort Collins for more than 20 years and are proud to call it home. Before moving to CO, I worked at a city attorney's office, making use of my law and Master's degrees from Duke. After settling in Fort Collins, I homeschooled my three (now teenage and older) sons and was delighted to experience music classes, soccer, karate, swim team, archery, Science Olympiad, First Lego League, parkour, and climbing (not all at the same time!). From 2005-10, I was also a contributing editor for a national scrapbooking magazine, authoring a book and a couple of monthly columns. From 2009-10, I founded and ran the Good Grief Blog. I enjoy learning new things, spending time with my family, volunteering with The Matthews House, traveling and indoor rock climbing.

"Transformers do NOT have butts!"

Yes, I know I still owe you an update from the past couple weeks but this was too good to not mention while it's in my head. The boys and I like to debate random things, particularly while driving...as we were doing today on the way home from music class. Today's topic? Butts.

Sometimes, when the boys and I walk in parking lots, I have to tell them to "link up" to get them to hold my hands...it's Transformer terminology dealing with how some of the Transformers can combine to create bigger and better 'bots. The main 'bot gets to be the head and body and the others become an arm or a leg. So. We were walking today and Noah, when told to link up, hooked up to my back rather than on one of the ends (since he'd have to hold hands with one of his brothers). I informed him that he was the butt. He adamantly maintained that he was a jet pack and that Transformers do NOT have butts. Hence the discussion that has continued since that time. 

The boys, for some reason, find it just wrong to think that a Transformer might have a butt. I don't know why. I asked how they sit if they don't have butts. They informed me that they *do* sit, but that they call all their parts something different and we can't know because we're just humans. Yes. Really.

Anyhow. That's what we've been talking about for the last hour or so. Thought I'd share. ;)
