Please put the camera down. You're going to break it.

Lois and Lucy's Lunch

Lois and Dylan fight like they're brother and sister. Playgroup started with a bang. I had been talking with a dad when I see out of the corner of my eye, Dylan swing and push Lois knocking her to the ground. I immediately sit him down in the corner and tell him not to hit. Then I return to Lois and find that she staring at the ground, with a pouting look on her face, as if she did something wrong. I instruct her to share toys and tell her it's alright. I return to Dylan to find a bloody lip, which I didn't see happen. I can only guess that either Lois hit him with something or he fell but I have no evidence of either.

After the first episode, the rest of the time is very tame. No crying, hitting or fighting between either of them.



Tame enough...about five minutes before the hitting/falling episode.

Doesn't Lucy look sophisticated? Jeremy looks so proud.

If only grown-ups could get away with this disregard for a clean napkin.

Valentine's Day, Sweater, Lunch, and Morons?

Yep, all that happened in one day. Dylan got some more books. Twice I witnessed him reciting passages from books, The Missing Piece and Dogtails. It was so damned cute!! Hiddee Ho Here I go, I'm looking for my missin' piece.


Reading Peter Pan to himself after breakfast. He sat down and paged through all of them (8).

A brand new sweater that Nanna made for him. Isn't it cute?

Lois, Luka, Dylan and Lucy after lunch at Monty's.

The view from my office window. Yep, shorts, I can't believe it either.

Is it spring? Nope. See the snow. Been around for the last four months? Snowest winter since 78. Ring a bell? Energy crisis you say, must have ATC put in a new power line. Don't need it. Just make people wear clothing appropriate for the weather. (I never see them in the summer, but they're probably wearing sweatpants in the summer cuz they keep the house too cold.) Look at their electric bill! If you can wear shorts in your house when it's 15 degrees outside you are wasting energy. Exercising you say, I don't think so! You're looking at the exercise, walking out to the van to bring in the groceries. Oh, and these are the brain-children who get in shouting matches at 3am in the morning throughout the summer, most likely cuz that's when it's nice enough outside for sweat suits.
