long post

...about nothing.

There have been some "blogworthy" events since our last post...ie. catching the worst stomach bug I've ever had and having it run its course through the fam {i'm sure you want more details on that;)}. Or my thirtieth birthday {which included Avavtar 3D IMAX.FINALLY, Big Papa's BBQ, and Cafe Rio this week with girlfriends}. And a great playdate to the aquarium to see a sneak preview of the "Barbie A Mermaid Tale". I'd just rather post about random stuff mixed with a lot of side notes.

First our craft of the day. Mclayne saw this on TV and has been wanting to do it for a while. Side Note: Nick Jr. is always advertizing all sort of dumb crafts in between shows. They're like, "Have your parents [if they love you] go to Nick Jr. dot com [right this second no matter what they are doing] and download the [way too complicated] instructions on how to make this [worthless] craft." Don't they realize the kids are watching TV because we don't want to do crafts with them. Well I finally caved and helped Mclayne make these Moose and Zee pals. Side Note: Mclayne added the extra triangle flower and mouth eventhough there's already a beak, made the necklace, and decided Zee needed a tag with an "M" so no one would steal it. And I have to admit, Mclayne LOVES her Zee doll. You win this time Nick Jr.

Side Note: Ryan loaded Windows 7 and now Photoshop doesn't work (along with a lot of other things). And bighugelabs.com is now charging for there services. No thanks. So this was plan C...kind of crappy.

And now video of Cole. A few days ago I caught some of Cole's emerging imagination and vocabulary on video. He's so not a baby anymore. Side note: This video is kind of long. Side Note: Thanks to The Office I was just forced to type out "this video" instead of using "it."
Side note: I should have made sure video would upload before writing intro. I guess it was too long.

This video of cole dancing was also on my camera. His move looks almost normal on top of a stool, but when he does it in the middle of a room it's pretty funny.

Thanks for the warning about Nick Jr-- seriously crafts. I am impressed with McLayne's doll and Cole's balancing abilities. Thanks for posting even though photoshop isn't working, frustration.

I was laughing so hard reading this post. That was very nice of you to "help" Mclayne make that little monster thing though. :) Maybe next time you should just teach her how to make headbands or carseat covers...

You are funny girl! I miss that quick humor. Can't wait to see you this spring!!! I was out of town Saturday but I'm sure one of these days we will talk : ) Love that dancing Cole!

So funny about Nick Jr. We plop our kids in front of the TV precisely because we want to have a few minutes to ourselves!
