The Worst

by Jason 10.31.2005 Jason's Random Musings

Happy Halloween! I found this picture over at BigPinkCookie.com and it inspired me to write the following post:
Mounds. Popcorn balls. Good N Plenty. Circus peanuts. Black licorice.
That’s my vote for the top five worst Halloween candy (candies?) of all time. And candy corn, you just missed the cut. What are yours?

Pie Anyone?

by Kim 10.29.2005 Adultitis

I had a very miserable piece of pie the other day. You may have heard of the flavor: humble pie. Yes, I was looking through pictures of our Seattle trip with some friends when I realized that I, too, am struggling with a case of Adultitis. Admittance is the first step, right? The picture I [...]

Adults are Ruining Everything

by Jason 10.29.2005 Adultitis

They say misery loves company. That must be the reason why grown-ups suffering from full-blown cases of Adultitis are working so hard to ruin Halloween for kids.

What’s So Great About The Great Outdoors?

by Jason 10.28.2005 Get Curious

When I was a kid, I remember heading out back to the ravine behind our house. It was only a few steps from the front door, but it might as well been a million miles away, in some godforsaken, unexplored jungle. I’d pretend to be Han Solo, exploring a far off planet, or an archaeologist, [...]

Lewis, [...]

by Jason 10.25.2005 Kim & Jason News

We’ve batted the idea for a paid subscription around for a long time here at Kim & Jason Headquarters. We finally and officially launched the new Club K&J last week, and I’m pretty excited about it. I’ve always wanted to keep the daily strip free. I think that’s very important, not only to help spread [...]

Pockets in my Pockets

by Kim 10.22.2005 Be Honest

I was in first grade. It was the first time I would eat dinner at a friend’s house. I was excited. Being the youngest I always longed to be ‘old enough’ to do all of the cool things my three older sisters could do…going to a friend’s house for dinner was one of those many [...]

Age Appropriate

by Kim 10.22.2005 Kim & Jason News

A phrase that I often heard and used while teaching Kindergarten was ‘age appropriate.’ You knew right away when something was NOT age appropriate in a room full of twenty-plus five and six year olds. For instance, the well-intended volunteer who proceeds to tell a story to the wiggly rug-rats that is way over their [...]
