"A Chicken With a Flaming Toot"

This birthday boy turns 6 tomorrow.

He shoved this Lego / Silly Putty creation in my face before I had my first sip of coffee.

"A Chicken With a Flaming Toot!"

Further commentary would only detract from its brilliance.

Elsie Rita: 100 Year's Old & Holding Down Two Jobs!

My husband met this amazing woman today.

She offered him a mint.

Elsie Rita was 3 months old when the above newspaper was printed in 1914.  It announced the start of the first World War.

The same woman is working at the high school cafeteria down the road!  She's probably serving a heaping plate of shepherd's pie right now!

"I can't sit still," she said.

And she shouldn't.

Today, she's my inspiration!

*I would have preferred to share a photo of her, but I couldn't find one.  So watch the above video & enjoy!

Goodnight Moon

Standing in a checkout aisle tonight, I learned that Margaret Wise Brown, author of Goodnight Moon and so many other amazing children's stories died at the young age of 42 from a ruptured appendix.

So sad.

Good night nobody, goodnight mush.

Creation, Evolution, Peanut Butter and Jam

We were at the Natural History Museum when my husband asked, "Who first came up with the term 'The Big Bang'?"

Haven replied, " The Catholic Priest, Geroges Lemaitre."

I guess I've been too busy changing diapers.  I guess my kid's flipping brilliant.

I had some reading to catch up on.  Perhaps, you do too.

Join me.

Ezra never received a pregnancy or a birth announcement, so here's an announcement to his perfect preciousness.  He's as homogenized, white & male as all the rest of them, but to me he's the most beautiful baby in the world.   Here's Ezra singing with my dad.

Henry wished the party was for him.
