And now some art
Jan. 15th, 2012 01:29 pmI drew a picture for our Thank you notes and one of the kids felt that a blank piece of paper was a crime.
A Cautionary Tale?
A Cautionary Tale?
4yo sprang into bed with me this morning. "I'm back!" he announced, and then gave me the full impact of his big baby blues at very close range. "I will share chocolate milk with you," he said with a little smile. A master bestowing a gift on a beloved acolyte. "Really!? You will share chocolate milk with me?" I affect wonder and gratitude. "Yeah. Let's do it!!" He vaults back out of bed, bound for the kitchen, leaving me to trail in his wake. I assemble the "gree-ents" and 4yo finds a suitable vessel and combines them in an utterly absorbed fashion, carefully urging some stray grains of vitamin/chocolate mix from the rim with one finger tip, making sound effects under his breath.
The perfect accompaniment to sharing chocolate milk is apparently cat videos on YouTube. I find a likely playlist and set it to run while I read email. I learn that there are a lot of 'cat on a treadmill' videos on YouTube, and also that there a number of videos--a narrow-minded person might say too many--of assorted substances being flushed down the toilet.
Then it's time to be a cat himself. I may be his mom cat. A little later, still in cat mode, he comes dashing into the bedroom. "Dad almost saw me!" "Dad almost saw the baby cat?" "Yes!" "And what would happen if Dad saw the baby cat?" "He will claw him with his claws. [demonstrates with curled fingers] He's kind of a ninja."

Bounce-a-palooza!
Nov. 30th, 2009 07:28 pmToday I took 4yo to 'Bounce-a-palooza.' An enterprising individual looked at all the vacant retail space at the local mall and thought of a good way to put the high ceilings to use. What used to be a large 'Old Navy' outlet is now filled with an assortment of huge inflatable obstacle course/slides/bouncing castles. For a small fee per hour, one can turn one's children loose in this blow-up paradise. 4yo had never been, and he insisted I go on all the slides with him. Thus I found myself crawling through a cushy red-rimmed hole between an inflated 17-foot Batman's muscular thighs (look, I didn't design the thing). To tell the truth, it was way fun. The 20 foot, nearly vertical slide was enough to give me that strange but exhilarating feeling that my insides were being squished against my diaphragm. I was looking for a picture of the Batman bouncy thing, and was struck by this design. Huh. Truly time heals all wounds. Perhaps I will live to see the Twin Towers thrill ride.
I'm sure you all caught this on the su_herald today but just in case:
Very Spike friendly interview with Joss. So nice of them to transcribe it!
Fandom has been so very kind to me this morning. Lovely non-con smut, and stroking of my favorite TV vampire. *happy glow* And in conclusion, a translation table for my three-year-old:
hairy tease = I want these
ass tubes = ice cubes
fuck = truck
fuck = sock
fuck = clock
