Skills





This is Lucy looking tough and Theo making his 'cute face' for the camera.








This is Theo trying to ride and look cute at the same time.
Not sure why I continue to think i can film this way. Sorry.

You know Chris is out of town when...

- I had to jump up and knock the cereal box down with a spatula from the top shelf of the cupboard this morning. How does he reach all the way up there?

- Beth has to come online at 2:30am EST to tell me to go to bed. "Now."

- I checked to see if maybe, just maybe, Eclipse had somehow been released on DVD without me hearing about it.

- Instead of only being 70% sure, I'm now 95% sure I'm the only one feeding the bunny.

- both of the kids join me in bed at 4am and there's plenty of room for everyone.

- we eat brownies, corn and scrambled eggs for dinner

logic at it's finest.


me- jackson, where do you go potty?
jax- in the toilet AND outside.
me- well, it is ok to go outside as long as you are away from the house and no one is around to see you naked.
jax- yep! i go away from the house AAAND when i pull down my pants to pee, the people all run away screaming 'aawww jackson!!' and when they are gone, THEN i go, so they no see me!

It's always a bloodbath by the punchbowl...

So I've been thinking about Lucy's upcoming birthday and trying to come up with an idea that would make it exciting but not too cutesy or spoiled rich kid-ish, when suddenly it came to me: a Hunger Games themed party!

Can't you imagine it? Let all the kids loose at once into a room with various things that could be used as weapons or for survival...then come back in an hour and the last two kids left standing get cake and all the presents. It's perfect.

here is a quick video of eric in action.


it was so fun to watch eric. we had never watched him play soccer, so it was such a pleasure and a delight to watch him scramble and kick some butt.
