We have enough interest that the Peep Show will go on! It will be smaller than previous years, but that is okay. :)
All-O-ver, Ol-i-vore . . . we're learning that Oliver's name has some fun mispronunciations.
Also, ask him what is name is and this is what you'll hear: "My name is Oli . . . Oli . . . Oliv . . . Oli . . . I don't know."
Here I am at SFO. Again. What should have been a 40 minute layover has turned into a 5 hour layover with merely a possibility of getting on the red-eye at 10:30. Flying standby. And if I don't get on the standby flight . . . they tell me my next shot at JFK isn't for 24 hours. Yeah. So let's hope that doesn't happen. And if I don't get on standby, well, there's got to be another way home.
S: Oliver, Is Mom a child of God?
O: Yes!
S: No, Mom is a grown up!
The one night -- ever -- when Micah and I get to bed at 10:00 and could, feasibly, get 9 hours of uninterrupted sleep, Simon wakes up crying inexplicably at midnight and can't go back to sleep, Oliver falls out of bed, and we're all out a couple of hours of sleep. Clearly we need to never try to go to to bed early. It's the only way to get a good night's sleep around here.
We like to think we’re something special. Or, more accurately, that there is something special about our relationship. We thought maybe it has something to do with the fact that people confuse us as being siblings. But we don’t think that just because we both have brown hair and brown eyes we look like brother and sister. We were told recently that we have the same personality. Maybe that is it. But, then again, the person who told us that had met Micah approximately two minutes before. I do not think that her evaluation is entirely accurate. It has been suggested that it is because we are both fifth born in our families. I have nothing to refute such a suggestion.
However, we have another theory. We think it may have something to do with the fact that we are a pretty good Cranium team. Conan & Melissa gave us the game for Christmas, and since then we have pretty much wasted all of the other couples we have played. Of course, we have only played three other couples, but only one of them even made it to the second half of the board before we won. Our heads are getting a little bit big now and we are ready to be humbled. So, we would like to challenge all y’all to a game of Cranium next time we are under the same roof. We will play in teams (liz&micah vs. one other couple (a couple does not have to consist of married people–just two people)) and if we lose we will buy you ice cream. If we win, we get the satisfaction of knowing that we are the coolest.
been there, done that. not interested in doing it again…
we weren’t even the couple that made it to the second half of the board…I hate that game…
I don’t doubt that you are a formidable Cranium team, but don’t you think that playing the German version of the game might give you an unfare advantage against your English speaking opponents.
Props go to Will for having such attention to detail that he noticed that the cranium box previously posted was in German. Oops. Truth be told, though, the last box did not look like our version anyway. We have the super fancy-schmacy cromed (alluminium) “Primo Edition” set. We didn’t want to show off anymore than we already were, but since we had to swap out the image anyway…
Woot! I’m way psyched for your visit this Christmas! Cranium will be awesome, I love that game. And I hope I still love it after I’ve played it with you two.
I dunno Liz & Micah… you might have to be dishing up some PRETTY big bowls o’ ice cream should you play against the Conan & Melissa team. There’s a reason we love that game…
