The Future of the UFC

Yes, it's November and he's in shorts outside.

Talent Show Tryouts

Here was how the final product came out! They did great...even though they didn't make it. :(

I'm impressed. They choreographed this and everything by themselves. The shirts? That's my tidbit of talent... :)

Talent Show Rehearsals

SO, I learned how to upload videos to YouTube from my phone. It's a gigantic pain in the rear, but totally worth it for gems like this...



Preston and his friend signed up (very last minute) for the talent show. This was their (one and only) rehearsal...what was that little arm poke in the beginning? Oh, that was turning Preston the robot "on."

Gambling? Homework.

This week, we taught Preston how to play craps for his "math facts" time. Obviously, he doesn't know it's craps, but we most definitely did. Smartest game ever - he rolled a number, then if it wasn't a 7 or 11, he had to tell us all the ways the dice could make his number again... Poor parenting? I think NOT...

RIP

Sara the mouse died today. It was heart-breaking, even though he knew before he went to bed last night that it was probably going to happen. (I actually think Moleese is on her way out, too, but we'll see. We promised to buy him a hamster if they both died.) Anyway, we're going to have a funeral tonight. Preston wants to bury her under his window in the backyard -- all I can seem to focus on is the fact that our yorkie is bred to ferret out small rodents, and I'm pretty sure Sara will end up in pieces all over the backyard. Logisitics aside, I am honored to have been asked to sing at her funeral. P: Mom, *sniff* will you sing at Sara's funeral? Me: Sure honey, what do you want me to sing? P: I don't know, [pause] maybe, *sniff* Three Blind Mice...? hehehehehehehe...of course I agreed.

Crystal Ball

Preston bought himself pets tonight...two (surprisingly cute) girl mice. We were discussing the magnitude of this decision in the store, when it dawned on me I was missing a very big point...

So Hon, where exactly are you going to put this cage (in your cram-packed, full of toys and junk room)?

Response: Weeeelllll, we're not at home and I can't see the future. Touche.

Gametime Fun

Playing CatchPhrase with P when he gets "spill the beans." Ten seconds later: "OH! I get it!! SPILL THE BEANS!!" as he wafts his hand behind his butt. :-D Yep! That's our kid!

Biology

Albert took Preston fishing today.

Dad, do you know how to tell which end is the worm's head? Just rub its belly and when it does this *arches back* the side that lifts up is the head.

Also, big shout out to hip hop...it made him a better fisherman.

Artistic License

As if a comment is necessary, I think it's important to note that this is (ironically) a Dallas Cowboy who just made a touchdown...I would say from personal perspective an earlier era - oh, 1990's. 
AND since I forgot to grab the ACTUAL picture from the restaurant table (shame), this is the last...so many puns.
