Best of FB - Dec 2013 Edition


  • Gifts
    • Both kids really liked their Hanukkah gifts of books tonight - so we're doing something right. Or something nerd. Either. Both. (Dec 2)
  • Planes
    • Spent half an hour before kid's bedtime wrangling some truly amazing Origami -fu. "Bisect each of the angles, then fold sides into the center." After 15 minutes - nailed it. (Dec 3)
  • Costumes
    • I walk into Joss' room to shush him at bedtime. He's sitting up in bed, wielding a foam sword, Cap't America shield, wearing a black mask. (Dec 4)
  • Salt
    • Just got a call from the school nurse that Paul was trying to eat the salt put down outside on the ice. (Dec 11)
  • Toothbrush
    • Got the kids new toothbrushes, Crayola crayon themed ones, and it was Paul's turn to choose which color, purple or blue. He turns to Joss, "which color do you like?" Joss chooses the purple. Paul turns to me and says, "I want the purple one."
    • *sad trombone* (Dec 24)
  • Peg Leg (Dec 26)
    • Joss, why are you missing one sock?
    • "Because I'm a Pirate! Arrrgh, arrrgh, arrrgh!"

I'm as big as the sculpture!

Question: Why is it important to know about the weather?
Answer: Because you might get hurt

For the record, the food was removed from the box before it was used as a hat and mask. I think.

People say these kids look just like me. I just don't see it! What do you think?

More Chanukah!

Why have Chanukah just when the calendar says to have it? What if you don't get to see your favorite big cousins? What to do? Extend Chanukah!
