An Inch to the Wind

Caleb lost AT LEAST an inch and a half of his lovely locks at the "barber" today, while mom sat in amazement wondering how hair stylists can possibly cut a reasonable line on squirmy children. My squirmy child's hair turned out quite well considering he sat, knelt, torqued, and turned without notice all in an attempt to either keep mom in view or see the guy across the room getting his head shaved.

Undisputed Champion

Yes, that's right, Old Spice was the Undisputed Champion of Champions in the Cranium Party Playoff. Racking up against names like Ozzy Ozbourne, Oprah Winfrey, roast beef sandwiches, casinos, pole vaulting and strip poker; the big OS had almost unanimous support. At least six of nine party-goers had somehow been involved in the scenario where female compliments male on his "smell" only to find out his scent of choice is the trophy taker itself. Pheromone confusion causing male confidence via cologne-infused deodorant: Let's be honest, it's a win-win situation for everyone and if that isn't powerful marketing, I don't know what is.

Brilliance in Art

Caleb added a white sock to the tippy top of our lego castle. He then looked at me, smiled and said "windsock". I never knew a two-year-old would be able to induce belly laughs via creativity and comedic timing!

Saturday Scenes

These are two of our favorite Saturday scenes:

Bus Line #7, Eastbound to downtown


Overlooking the big "O" in the Overture Center for the Arts

I LOVE MY NEW BOOTS!

I couldn't have modeled 'exuberance' any better myself.

Naughty Face

Caleb and I borrowed a book from the library called "Funny Face". There was a picture of a happy face, a sad face, an angry face and, of course, the face you see below, his personal favorite, the naughty face.

Pool Papas

We'll do just about anything to come up with something entertaining for a Friday night, including a chilling dip in the pool. As is usually the case, more time was spent getting ready and cleaning up than was actually spent partaking in adventure; the two wee ones were shivering within minutes and clamoring to GET OUT. But based on the size of smiles and frequency of screeches, it was evident a good time was had by all regardless of how short it was.
