daily dose of disney


we did "pick a pearl" at the japan pavilion again... caroline picked an oyster with twin gold 6.75 pearls which we made into earrings. Q picked a shiny white 7.25 which he put into a mini glass bottle for display. Q helped pick my oyster and got me a gold 7.5 that matches Caroline's perfectly. i had that made into a ring.

sequels

the kids seem to think that every movie ought to have (and will have) numerous sequels. 

quentin wants to know when madagascar 4 and despicable me 3 are coming out. 

even better, caroline keeps explaining the plots of movies like "merida 2" and "ariel 4" which are quite elaborate.

snowmingos


what was supposed to be <1 inch of snow (that i was quite frankly completely unaware of) quickly turned into 8 inches. it took over 45 minutes for us to go less than one mile down a fairly major road because morons were spinning out everywhere.

at least snowmingos are pretty.

reunion

caroline's school had a parents' shopping day today where you could ditch the kids for 4 hours and get some stuff done. Q always loves going back to his old stomping grounds. especially when his core group of buddies is there too. he was exhausted from all the playing.

excellent use of $20.

stories

caroline loves to read. and by read i mean turn the pages of book while stringing together nonsense based on the illustrations. i love it. her tone and inflection are just as though she were actually reading. and she uses only real words, some big ones even. it just doesn't make any sense.

a line from a story tonight:

"belly flops are not for new year's princess birthday parties."
