School Staples at Target

Brick took the little bricks to Target to get brand, spanking-new supplies for the upcoming school year.  One has to wonder...how do kids who supposedly hate doing homework end up using two dozen pencils in nine months?  A box of 24 for five dollars? And they don't have any left for next year?? Math problem: if little Ivan was only given 12 pencils out of 24 for one school year, and the other 12 were locked up until next year, what is the cost of those saved pencils? Be sure to show your work. And stop losing your pencils! You only get cool new ones on your birthday and at Halloween.

These don't grow on trees, you know!

Do some pencils go the way of socks, mysteriously leaving their mates, never to be seen again when one knows darn well they all went to their destination together? 

Brick didn't mind the long shopping trip with the kids. He smiled the whole time! When he saw the fiberglass Bullseye in the children's shoe section he insisted he get his photo taken with the terrier! Poor Brick. He doesn't have a Twitter account so he couldn't post to #TargetDog if he wanted to. The kids think he's so out of touch.

Smile you two!

What's a hashtag?

Afterwards they all went home. Only to find...they forget to get the pencils!

Oh sweet irony, it's back to the store!

Memorial Day

Remember, today is a holiday to recall the work and sacrifice of our nation's veterans--not just a day to get the best deal on a mattress!
Brick stopped at the Veteran's Memorial Park to watch the remembrance ceremony, and held his flag with pride.
 

Happy Memorial Day!

Maybe Brick should have worn some sunglasses, the sun was pretty bright in his eyes.

Baby, it's cold outside!

As a polar vortex brings below-freezing temperatures to the East Coast and the Midwest,
Brick wants to remind everyone to bundle up--it's cold outside!

Always be prepared for bad weather!
