We didn't have quite the moment of inspiration as the architect (1) in coming up with costumes this year.

So close!
I think a few more hours and we could have convinced the boy that this was the ticket to candyland!
We even went the Innovation route
... with no so great results.
We called this "Homeless, Not Quite Teenage Mutant Ninja Honey Bee".

We have to save Neo!
Who do you think the boy looks like?
So, we're finally done with the 12 days of the girl's birthday. What's a good technique to convince her that her new birthdate should be Feb 29th?
We suffered our first physical Wii injury over the weekend. The girl was celebrating a nice play/shot (I can't remember which, I was sulking at being nicely played/shot at) ... and was she on the rug like I told her? No ... hardwood slippery.
We also suffered our first and second emotional Wii injury. Early weekend Wii fitness test rated me as 50 years old. Yesterday, I had "achieved" 55 years old. 60, it's the new 30.
I'm expecting the 3rd emotional injury when the kids realize what "we're just borrowing it" really means.
Me and the boy. I'm the 55 year old on the left...

Accck
Off to school they go. Boy actually likes pre-school - to the point where he cries because he doesn't want to go to daycare. (Couldn't be that easy.)
And in all the mayhem .... I completely missed this ...

Visitors
We had a nice extended weekend with visitors from out East. Thanks for taking the time to come in and visit!
What is it about these cars?
They don't go that fast, and they don't really get to steer (like on the jalopy ride). But this is the first ride they always run to.
3 - 2 - 1
Sure, it's all fun and games until ...
... about 10 seconds after this, the boy got a time-out for soaking everyone.

Had a great visit with the Aunt/Uncle/cousins/2nd cousins ...
Very nice dinner. Forgot how good toasted marshmallow's are. Kids got face painted by cousin-D (thanks!). And cousin-N showed us the ropes on their Wii.
Place your bets on how long before we get one.

Had a picnic at the sculpture garden. The kids were all over the bears. Good thing ye-ye/gong-gong and nai-nai/puo-puo's pieces aren't climable.

You think this is disturbing?
I just found out that "irregardless" is acknowledged by both Webster and Oxford.
Incidentally, I also found out that, when a highlighter is left uncapped, while it does dry out, the powder that gets left behind does not lose any of it's pigmenting capabilities.
