Life and Times of the Sharp Family

Check out this video of Bres "helping" with Dharia.

I can... ...make a 1999 gold minivan look good. ...read "There's a Monster at the End of This Book!" using funny voices. ...make high schoolers think that chemistry is "not that bad" (a direct quote). ...love 2 kids with all of my heart, even when they are not perfect. ...be a pain in the butt. ...sometimes be funny. ...wish that I had stayed at home longer with my kids before going back to school. ...care about MSU football than I probably should. ...keep a clean house...when I choose to. ...get an A on a grad school paper without reading any of the required articles. ...sew boxer shorts for Colby. ...help throw a teacher tailgate for 60+ teachers and families at the football game. ...obsess about things that don't matter. ...give a rousing lecture on the electronegativity trends of the halogen family. ...eat more Buffalo Wings than I can count. ...sit on my couch for hours with a blanket and a movie...as long as there is enough food! ...love and hate Weigh
