Catching Up...

Let's catch up real quick before I'm off to bed.
  • Great Aunt Joyce was here and a great time was had by all. (Superlative meant to indicate awesomeness, not age.)  I'm happy to report that the 5 and under crowd did not lose their heads. 
  • We got to see Kristy's play A Trip to Bountiful, and it was much more poignant and emotional than I had expected.  Jessie Mae and Mother Watts' relationship does not bode well for the planning of a multi-generational compound, however. 
  • Bear can laugh so, so hard.  I need to try and record it.  He literally slaps his knees.  I hope he laughs like this forever.
  • Superman had a recent re-eval at OT and has met all of his short term goals!  We are backing down to once and week and will do another re-eval in 3 months.
  • Jon is currently in Austin and got bat guano on him this evening.  Of course he is pumped. 
  • And I, dear reader, am losing my mind.  We had a big Ethiopian meal with friends on Saturday night, and I was boiling some eggs for our Doro Wat.  Jon and I went to watch Hulu in our bedroom after putting the kids to bed and I completely forgot about them.  Almost 2 HOURS later we started to hear popping sounds and smelled something funky.  Although I knew it was completely implausible, my best guess was that someone broke into our house and was cooking with vinegar.  The eggs didn't even cross my mind until we went out in the kitchen to investigate.  Like I said, pretty sure I'm losing my mind.  Please tell me this can be blamed on my kids.

  1. I hope O keeps his laugh too. I want to hear it, and a contagious laugh is awesome throughout life. Congrats to Jon on the guano:) Glad you were safe despite your exploding eggs--makes a good story. I remember my brother using the defunct toaster when we were in high school to make pop tarts around midnight. A small fire resulted and the tart looked more like a briquette, but it was funny and later and he took the burned food to school to show off.
