Comic Crazed

At 4:45, micah sat down for his afternoon snack and started reading a Super Friends comic book.


By 5:30, he'd moved on from the goldfish to an apple.... But was still engrossed in the comic book.



At 6 the comic book was nearly done and I stealthily slid some chicken nuggets next to the book.


I'm not sure he'll be aware of having eaten when the Super Friends are done saving the day.

Back to school

Summer's nearly over so it's time to pluck the feathers from Gabi's hair. Luckily, we were able to find another pretty brunette who could wear them year round.

"White Paper" - song lyrics by Gabi

When I see white paper sitting on a desk
I get so excited; what will happen next?
Will I draw a turtle, tongue out ready to lick?
Or will I write about a man dancing on a stick?
Turns out I didn't do either one
Instead I wrote this happy song.

White paper, white paper!
