And that’s when we began to have the “hunker” down conversation. I think this has become my very favorite phrase in the English language. I love saying it and I especially love hearing news reporters say it over and over and over again. So, after 37 games of Connect Four, I interviewed the family and asked them to give their best live demonstration of what the phrase “hunker down” actually means.
Here are my results…..Marcus first…….is he ‘hunkering’ or boxing?
then Emme……I think she has confused “hunker down” with hip-hop……
then it’s Daddy’s turn……who may have confused “hunker down” with TaeBo……
then there’s me……I always imagined that “hunker-down” involved more provisions than just my own scrunched up body…….at least some sort of cover……
and the smallest child refused to “hunker down” for fear that she wouldn’t ‘know how to do it right’ or for fear that I would ‘blog’ about it…….or both. We looked up the definition. Hunker means to crouch or squat for a long period of time. At any rate, it’s Friday night and we’re hunkered down, eating chocolate chip banana bread and watching Geraldo. Marcus may never want to leave!
Adorable! What wonderful a wonderful family Friday night!
Glad I didn’t have to hunker down this time!
Dear “Lamp Tramp” I’ve been reading some of your archives…..I’m so thankful you didn’t have to “hunker down” either. (Sorry about the superflous use of quotes….I use alot of air quotes too). I can’t imagine having gone through Katrina. We were glued to Fox News then too.
Glad to know I’m not the only one playing Connect 4 over and over. Also, you’ve taken my two loves and combined them into one yummy idea. The last time I made banana bread I think I ate it all myself. This could be bad! I loved your hunker down pic, so funny.
Made me laugh.
Stopped over from We Are That Family. So glad I did. You look like a fun mom to have!
Hi, Edie, so nice to meet you. Thanks for stopping by. What a beautiful family pic you have on your header.
Hope you'll come back & visit me often. I'm always up to some fun decorating stuff.

I have recently been introduced to your blog and I love it! I am reading through older posts feeling like I need to catch up in getting to know you. This post almost caused me to spew my coffee across my keyboard…hilarious captions. 🙂
Thank you for sharing your life, it makes other moms feel human and encouraged.
Your faith through loosing your home is such an example of how with Our Living Savior we can make it through all.
