Thanks Diana for the fun idea. I think these pics are funny. Rune doesn't like them at all ... and is a bit freaked out by them.

This is one of the runs Ole skied with his dad at Kirkwood on Saturday. Maybe it's just me ... but it looks pretty scary.

He rocks!

Another visit from the tooth fairy...

Little Angels

They look so sweet, don't they...?

Ahhh ... public school

Me: Did you behave in school today?
Ole: No. I was in time-out.

Me: Why?
Ole: Because I was rude.

Me: How were you rude? What did you do?
Ole: I kept saying chee chee* and sex.

Me: Who did you learn those words from?
Ole: Nisiah. He says chee chee all the time. And he says Zaire is sex.


* I learned yesterday that chee chee means penis...

One little monkey sitting in a tree...

Hmmm ... I wonder what's up here...

Luke's first fat lip

Can you see it? It's there on the corner of his upper lip. His hand slipped off his chair as he was pulling himself up ... and smack!

Ole's report card

I promise this is verbatim. I haven't embellished at all.

Ole is a wonderful child. He is still a little wild, flopping himself on the rug for mysterious reasons, but he is also very focused when working, delightfully curious, and very kind and sensitive. His strengths are his positive attitude, natural brilliance, confidence, and good verbal communication skills. He is doing very well and I am sure will continue to do so.

RED!

We've been painting our living room ... one wall at a time. We did this wall this weekend...

Isn't it pretty?

A not so subtle message?

Luke was playing with these magnetic letters yesterday ... and this is what I found when he was done.

Do you think he's trying to tell me something???

Do they make muzzles for kids???

Cuz if they do ... I need one.

Ole has started copying me.

Remember when you were a kid ... and you wanted to annoy someone ... you would parrot everything they said? Well ... he's doing that ... AND IT'S DRIVING ME CRAZY!

Me: "Ole ... stop jumping on the couch."
Ole: "Ole ... stop jumping on the couch."

Me (giving him a very stern look): "I mean it Ole. Stop jumping on the couch."
Ole (not at all intimidated): "I mean it Ole. Stop jumping on the couch."

Me (trying not to strangle him): "Ole, stop that. DO NOT talk to me that way."
Ole (still not at all intimidated): "Ole, stop that. DO NOT talk to me that way."

This is making me insane...

I LOVE playing the guitar ... yeahhhhhhh!

Ahhh ... the love of my life.

Rune: "Have you figured out yet what you want for Valentine's day?
Me: "Ummm ... no."
Rune: "Well ... whatever it is ... I better be able to get it at Safeway, because that's the only place I'm going today."

VD Haiku

cupid's arrows soar

taking aim at those in love

OUCH ... that's a sharp point!

Out of the mouth of Ole...

Mama ... the velociraptor is a carnival. You know ... he only eats meat.

haiku

asparagus wasn't far

Everyone loves bacon!

I MUST get these...

Look at that face ... Those eyes ...

Peace at last

Shhhh ... both kids are asleep in their beds ... and it's 7:55PM.

I feel like I'm getting away with something...

Ole Wisdom Part 47B

Ole and I were talking about ears yesterday.

His theory was that if you didn't have ears ... you would hear better because there would be big holes there instead ... and ears wouldn't get in the way.

Here's the good part ...

He says he wishes he had doors for his ears ... so he could close them when his dad lectures him ...


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

Brotherly Love...

 

Luke's new best friend

We went to Minneapolis to visit Cheryl and her new baby ... Julian.
Luke made a new friend.
His name is Petey ... and if you click on the picture below ... you can see just how close they got...

Luke and Petey - BFF

Teeth!

Two of them... 

Merry Christmas!

 

First day on the mountain...

 

It's not just me...he is god damned cute.

 

Ole took this...

I love it.

It captures their personalities perfectly. 

Is this wrong?

At least it's light beer... 

This is gross...

What is wrong with people?

A tooth was found on the floor, in the main studio at work. That's right ... A TOOTH!

I don't even know what else to say about it...

IT'S OURS!

IT'S OURS! IT'S OURS! THE HOUSE IS OURS!

WE CLOSED THIS MORNING!

First Cheerio

 

 

 

I couldn't pick just one...

 

I guess this is why they warn parents that plastic bags are not toys...

Overheard in the newsroom...

"I'm Banana. You're pickle. Stupid."

i love that i can hear that kind of thing while working here...

Basking in the Afterglow

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Calling Dr. Freud

I had a dream the other night that i couldn't swallow my zoloft pill. It just stayed in the back of my throat...getting bitter tasting...

Anyone care to analyze???
