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.
First place goes to Emoree Heiselt with her hilarious and totally cute depiction of the “Princess and the Peep.” Emoree, who turns 12 in July, will receive her own personal logo. So much for the kid’s division. Way to go, Em. And third place goes to Micah and Lizzie Heiselt for their entry, “Four and Twenty Blackpeeps.” If we lived in Utah, we would have received back-flip lessons from Bryce Barrand, but we don’t so we’ll just dish ourselves up a bowl of ice cream and call it good.
Heather Cosby was a close second with the detailed and highly realistic slide show “Peeples of the World.” Heather, a resident of Texas, will receive a hand-knitted scarf to keep her warm in those cold, cold winter months.

We will also honorably mention “The Peep is Right” by Abby Blackhurst, Sarah Blackhurst, and Saundra Fife, “Peepsicle” by Meg Singley and “P.E.E.P.S.” by Kareena, Richard, and Troy, all three of which had strong showings in the vote tally.
Many thanks to all who entered and all who voted. We are also grateful to those who helped us reach our goal of getting more than 100 voters to the polls. We hope you all enjoyed the 2nd Annual Peep Show as much as we did and that you’ll all be back next year for more Peep Show fun.
Cameron and I were super impressed with everyone’s entries, we couldn’t pick which ones we liked best. Maybe next year we’ll be creative enough to think of our own! :0)
This was really fun, once again. I have to say, though Peepsicle came from my mind, it was brought to you entirely by my husband.
We’re excited for next year and would still love to co-sponsor a contest sometime–I’m afraid this year’s peep show was a bit overshadowed by an animation contest.
Superfun! It was a tough call. Congrats to everyone! All were very creative!
Could the scarf-winner email me an address so I can mail their prize? Thanks!
When we get together eventually. I’ll give you some great lessons.
