Getting Whacked

"Catie, come here so I can hug you since I whacked you."

-WDB- after a nice, long time out

Will's Obsession

He's been spending a lot of time with YouTube and videos of L trains...

TV Review

Me: I wonder why Caillou talks like a baby?
Will: I don't know, but he's a bad actor.

Sweetest Thing

As I was taking Catie to her bedroom tonight to put her to bed, Will asked if he could come in and sing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" to her. Clearly the answer is a no-brainer- yes, yes, every time yes. So I sat with Catie on the rocker he stood next to us singing the song in his very off-key way (so precious, I'm not kidding). As he got to the final

twinkle twinkle little star
how I wonder what you are

Catie leaned over and planted one on his lips.

Man, I love my kids.

Not About the Kids

My first ever anything grown for consumption. It's kind of like your own child- perhaps it's not the best-looking of the bunch, but I think it's beautiful! And I have about 30 more on the plant that are actually beautiful and ripening.

I think I might be addicted to growing tomatoes.

Oh Happy Day!

Will gets to take the bus with Dave today! I'm off to pick him up in 20 minutes...

I wonder what one thing I'll hear about all day long?

Hello?

Catie will make a phone out of anything. A piece of paper, a pen, and, well, our real phone. Today she had a little plastic toy phone passed down from cousins Jack and Autumn. The conversation went like this:

"Hello? DADDY!!! By-ye!" (pucker up and kiss the air)
