Ridiculously Long Video

I don't know who likes to watch these. It's not as if it's a video of me hunting a rat - that would be entertaining! I don't like to brag, but there are at least five blood and organ stains on the front patio from my kills. No mean feat. Mien feet? 

Noise

There is a lot of it when you live with two children. 

Both Sam and Teddy love that piano. Sam calls it a "peeneeno." At least he is somewhat trained thus far. He knows, for example, that we don't hit the keys and we don't play with our feet. 

Snake Wrestling

Sam just doesn't know when to stay out of the shot. 

School's Out

Sam dropped out of school. Jen could no longer tolerate the unedited emails sent out by the director. With the most hellbent of hellions in the place, the director was clearly getting the better deal out of the arrangement (free childcare/education). Reports of "L hitting" and "L screaming" ... and then there was the incident where Jen had to wrestle Sam's artwork out of L's father's hands because L tried to steal Sam's intellectual and physical property. Enough was enough. 

So Sam will be "home schooled" for the summer until starting a new school in the fall. I suppose this means a lot of art projects. 

And cultural excursions. 

And a multitude of walks in the double stroller. 

No Snakes on the Table

If cats aren't allowed on the furniture, surely, neither are reptiles of any sort.
