Random Recordings

  1. Jeneric can buckle her own seat belt. This is awesome as it means less hunching for the adults in her life.
  2. Toddler Wily says, "bayto weeg" which, for those who do not speak Toddler-ease, means, Dearest mother and father, please put on my favorite CD, Beethoven's Wig. Now. Thank you.
  3. Lady Argon is sporting more color this summer, brought to you by Crayola washable markers and Toddler Wily.

Toddler Wily had a nasty run-in with a mosquito that resulted in a trip to the after-hours pediatric clinic, a check to make sure it wasn't something worse, a stop at the local pharmacy for a jumbo-sized bottle of Benadryl, and home to sleep it off.

Visitors from Outer Space!

or you know, Canada, which isn't the same at all. But! We had real, live Canadians in our home this weekend! So since there was no American football on... or hockey... or basketball, we were forced to amuse them with...

Food.

Geocaching (which is not mutually exclusive from gardens).

In return, the Canadians made us sing, go for walks and answer ridiculous hypothetical and philosophical questions.

Don't you just love the smell of rotting flesh?

No? Then you're probably unlikely to enjoy the corpse flower, Amorphophallus titanum, which is currently blooming at the local 4-H Children's garden.
