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.
Simon’s inexplicable knowledge of the word “band-aid” and how to use it properly.
The “dog” that has been shedding blue tufts of fur since we laid it on our floor a few weeks ago. (Having a rug makes a house a home.)
My latest post on oliofolio. I’d love to hear what anybody has to say about it.
The Primary Easter Egg Hunt that Simon and I attended yesterday. Simon found nine eggs (with only a little help from me) and promptly ate all the good candy (Reese’s peanut butter cups, York patties, Rolos), leaving me and Micah the dregs. I left my camera at home. I have not yet forgiven myself.
The Peep Show deadline is fast approaching. Guess we’d better get working on ours, eh?
I’m getting antsy to get my capris out of storage and put away the jackets. I know spring has just begun. I shouldn’t get ahead of myself.
We’ve been working on several home improvement projects, including painting the door and window frames and putting the doorknobs we blegged for earlier to use.
I wish we could’ve been there for the egg hunt, that sounds great! We’ll have to check out the Oliofolio article and get back to you.
When is Simon’s birthday?? We remember that it’s coming up, but can’t remember the exact date…
