eating another rainbow

January 23rd, 2009

It is just the kids, tonight. No daddy around. So Will and I decided we’d make rainbows for dinner. As we were discussing what foods we wanted to eat for each color, Will and I got into a heated debate about where crab fits into the rainbow – is it pink? Is it orange (per […]

January 21st, 2009

My cousin and his girlfriend attended the inaugural Youth Ball in DC – and the handsome couple were interviewed for the NYTimes video coverage. Check them out in the video on the bottom left side of the article (around 0:20 and 2:45 marks).

Merry Christmas

December 25th, 2008

Hope you are having (have had) a very Merry Christmas. Video evidence that Santa visited our house: Will was unenthusiastic about the video footage of Santa. He didn’t find the half eaten cookie, dribble of milk or eaten carrot interesting, either. And he wanted to know why Santa brought him so many presents. (Between you […]

Christmas Willisms

In the Christmas reading list is Santa Mouse about a mouse who gives Santa a present and in return is made into Santa Mouse. We’ve got a mouse problem.

What is it about that white beard, fur trimmed suit, and jolly laugh that strikes fear in hearts of toddlers? This guy is supposed to be beloved! After all, he brings toys to all good girls and boys across the world. I admit something about the story doesn’t add up – he parks his sleigh […]

did some research – when a kid falls on the pavement

December 20th, 2008

To answer the age-old question: When a kid falls on the pavement and there is no one around to care, does he cry? No. Witnessed Will take flight superman style and completely eat it a block away from me. He laid there stunned for a moment, and then, since no one was around to console […]
