Today was the day for the girl to get a haircut. She’s still not sure about the new look, but she loved sitting in the little toy fire truck.

Meant to post this earlier: My Christmas present from my son. He picked out new ones that he thought I’d like, some of his favorites, and wrapped them all up in a sheet of white paper.

My son’s making crystals and they aren’t growing at all like we expected. This little tree bloomed off a tiny crystal shard today. It was a tiny point sticking out of the water last night.

Nora, 4: Dad, look at those rotten bananas! (points in trash, laughing at the chilled slightly overripe fruit)
Me: You know, Nora, the refrigerator is purgatory for a banana.
Nora: Yeah Dad, I knowwww.

Joe, 8: What'cha what'cha what'cha want, what'cha want. What'cha what'cha what'cha want, what'cha want. (for several minutes, with parts of verses thrown in)
Nora, 4: I don't KNOW what I want! I just don't KNOW.

at the grocery store

Me: Joe, they've been playing music that was popular when I was in high school since we got here.
Joe: They have? You know these songs?
Me: Yeah, this one is the J. Geils Band.
Joe: Well, you know, Dad, Trader Joe's is kind of an old-timey store.

"This little piggy went to candler market, this one ate roast beast. This one baked a cake. This one bought balloons. And this one stayed home to get presents."

- Nora, turning 4 today, and her new version of the story on her toes.

My daughter made a portrait of me. I think it’s pretty accurate.
She’s a genius. Obviously.

tales of the spiky eye

My son has a new tumblr for his t-shirt designs. I helped of course, a lot. But it’s his own page and he’s really proud of it. He told me the stories behind each image and I typed them in for him.

Check it out! He’s not allowed to follow any tumblrs, because I think he’s too little, but you can follow him, or subscribe. His posting will be very light.

Tales of the Spiky Eye

So I helped my son set up a website yesterday.

He’s in 2nd grade, and when he was in kindergarten he decided he wanted to design t-shirts and started drawing on his white ones. I helped him scan, sharpen, and upload to a zazzle shop. The spiky eye was his first one, and this weekend we put up the stories behind some of his designs.

I typed his stories and helped pick the theme. Now he wants to print more QR symbols and pin them up all over the neighborhood.
