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.
She has curly red hair. She is kind to animals and younger kids. She is optimistic and happy. And she sings like you wouldn’t believe.
Yes, it’s true. The boys have taken a shine to Annie. As in the orphan. Someday soon I hope to get a video of them singing “Tomorrow,” or maybe one of Simon’s version of “Hard-Knock Life.” My favorite part of that one is where he sings “run a silly hike, for us!” He likes to get to the part in “Tomorrow” where “she starts yelling.” That’s my favorite part, too. Oh, and also the part where she sings, “I just think of my chin, and grin, and say . . . ”
Thinking of my chin always helps. That’s for sure.

How fun!! That’s a great movie to like. I can’t wait to see the video of them singing!!
Samuel’s favorite movie is currently Enchanted, and whenever we’re at home he puts on his (Batman) cape, an old car belt that was mine when I was in 1st grade, and a cutlass. It might be a bit hodge-podge, but it transfigures Samuel into the Prince Edward, then he runs off to save Giselle from the scary Queen Dragon! It’s pretty hilarious. ;0)
LOL Thinking of my chin- how cute! I’m so glad you have these things recorded!
