A Captive Audience

After having 4 two-year-olds in the house I've decided their most basic need is a captive, rapt audience. Where is the best time to capture that audience? When they are in the tub of course. For the last 2 weeks Tess has joined me as I bathe, JC Penny's catalog in hand. She goes page by page pointing out her heart's truest desires and her great need to have this and that. She is hoping for the everything a doll baby could possibly need package the most. We spend lots and lots of time pursuing this page. Yet another reason to love a 2 year old. They're my favorite.

The ventriloquist dummies freak her out, just like they did when I was little.

Don't ask to use Tess' copy of this catalog. It is covered in the boogers she has not managed to get into her mouth. It's a 2 year old thing too.

V for VERY Good

I owe my Dad an apology. I've spent my entire life making fun of his sci-fi obsession. I think it stems from his weekly habit of changing the channel from Fraggle Rock to Star Trek. I hated this weekly ritual. Still holding a grudge? You betcha-

In retrospect though, as I think about my own television habits it is becoming quite clear, I have inherited his sci-finess. Fringe? LOVE IT. V? Could possibly love it even more. We watched right along with my Dad when were kids the 1983 series. I can actually remember certain characters and scenes quite vividly. Alien Lizards? Crazy, freaky fodder for an 8 year old. So it was with a thrill this morning that James and I opted out of rising from our bed and instead spent some time with our new best friend Hulu and our sure to be newest tv obsession V.

Dear Visitors-My door is always open...

Last Week in Pictures

These pictures are worth thousands of words and are most definitely better than reading my endless thoughts. Sellick Kids rock AND yes those are last year's costumes. The move and a 3 month old baby have prevented any progress, newness or ability to function. We're lucky to have dinner on the table every night.
