Updating Soon

We had made the decision not to blog until Kaiya was home from the hospital. Since she's home now and doing much better, we'll be posting some updates soon!

Goodnight Who?


Hi.

So, I've been checking out this book every night before I jump in the crib. It's called "Goodnight Moon"... and it's the dumbest thing I've ever read.

Now for those of you who have never had the pleasure, the story is really quite simple. There's a room. And I am first shown everything that's in it - great. It's an ugly room, but I can go with that. We have a telephone, a red balloon, and a picture of a cow jumping over the moon (I smell foreshadowing). Blah, blah, blah... kittens... blah, blah, blah... mittens... blah, blah, blah... mouse.

And after I am introduced to everything in the room, I now say goodnight to everything - one by one.

One by one.

Goodnight bears. Goodnight chairs. Goodnight kittens. Goodnight mittens. Goodnight sense of intellect. Goodnight self worth. Blah, blah, blah...

However, my favorite spread says "Goodnight nobody." "Goodnight mush." There is literally a blank page that says "Goodnight nobody." Followed by a page where we wish the cold bowl of oatmeal (or whatever the heck it is) on the end table good night.

Question-

It was published in 1947 - and nobody has been able to do better than "Goodnight nobody - Goodnight mush" !???? 61 years and that's really what we're gonna hang our hat on?

Anywho... I just needed to process that with you. Sorry, it's late - I'm gonna chug a bottle and hit the sack.

Goodnight kittens.



Goodnight toy house.




Goodnight moon.




Goodnight air.




Goodnight recession.




Goodnight post-modernism.





Goodnight ceiling fan (I love you).




Goodnight left over hummus and pita in the fridge.

Peas Please

This was a very unfortunate use of $.79

But on the other hand, just as entertaining as an $8 movie for us.



Incredibly, he had already bombed another white shirt with carrots earlier in the day.



After 30 minutes getting him out of his pea coat and scrubbing down his mug... it was time for naked jump-a-rooing

Beth has a hilarious song that accompanies Keller everytime he gets in here. I'll catch her on camera one of these times and post it.

I don't know how that creepy eye keeps showing up over his shoulder in these photos.

We took him to Downtown Disney for the first time during the long weekend over Thanksgiving.
