The Highlights

We've been cruising along here with the same-old, same-old. Nothing very interesting to report. You know... Wake up. Get everyone out of the house. Run house. Chauffeur children. Feed family. Bed children. Repeat.

Here are a few highlights...

1. Thanksgiving was really relaxed, which was great. We had to convince a few children that they needed to get dressed and brush their teeth before coming to the dinner table.

2. The day before Thanksgiving, Megan came home from school and shortly thereafter started to complain about her ear. Typical - it's a holiday. We establish that it is inside but she has no fever so I basically ignore her. She eventually asks me to look at it. I see what looks like a kidney bean cut in half and shoved in there. We move to better light with some tweezers, my really pointy ones for sewing, and after a few tries I extract a plastic googly eye from the construction paper scarecrow that she brought home earlier. Why couldn't she have just told me what was in there from the beginning?

3. Tim doesn't want to wear underwear, or use the potty for that matter.

4. I'm thinking of getting a family portrait done for our Christmas card this year. Unfortunately for those of you who would like a card, this is still in the thought stage.

5. I'm sure that Tim did something as funny as Megan (see #2) a few weeks back but I can't remember what it was. He's just funny in general.

Stay tuned for a music update. 4 concerts in the next 15 days. Tis the season.
