Overheard

  • Camille: Ramona! Stop knocking over my drink or I'm gonna break your face!
  • Nina: Don't break Ramona's face! She's my best friend!

On the Way to School

Nina was excited to see a mound of grass in the middle of 1800 South. I didn’t have the heart to tell her it was a dead porcupine.

The Grumpy Librarian
Nina put Ramona’s old glasses on Grey (she doesn’t need glasses anymore). He liked it at first, especially when Nina showed him his reflection in the mirror. But, it didn’t last.

Mommy, you should really exercise… so you can get really strong to kill all the bad guys.

As I sit in stand-still freeway traffic I can’t help feel that any moment I will see an inescapable tidal wave in the rearview mirror.

Then, after a while, as the kids continue screaming, I begin to HOPE for it.

I wish somebody had a big long stool so I could touch the sky, ‘cause it looks beautiful to feel.

The Lite Menu
I went to lunch with my mom and sister today. It was fun. Especially the part when my mostly vegetarian sister decided to eat healthy (see above). Hi five Sis!

Mommy, when will we get all our skin off? I want my skin off and brother’s skin off so we can see our skeletons.

The Roof Monster 
We are finally having our roof done. It needed to be replaced when we moved in 2.5 years ago. Nina was concerned about the noises from the roof today. Rob told her it was a roof monster. This was very exciting for her. She dressed herself and ran outside to see. Unfortunately, for her, it’s just a half naked guy named Jeff  that looks like a young Val Kilmer (I can’t get close enough so you’ll have to trust me). But she still insisted on watching him from the lawn. Pretty darn exciting stuff.

I had hoped to post a picture of all the kids’ costumes, but…alas, Nina wouldn’t stay in one place long enough and…well, I forgot Grey. So sue me!
*she was a spider, he a bear
