Here's a picture of HL playing an online lego game called Aquaraiders. The Aquaraiders are a team of guys trying to rescue treasure from a bunch of sea monsters such as giant Angler fish, lobsters, squid, sharks, etc. All this action takes place in the Bermuda Triangle. But HL has a better name for the location: The Bermutant Triangle.

Valuable Life Lesson Learned

I have this hair dryer that is part hair dryer, part curling iron, part bristled round brush, and part torture device.... I was busy getting ready one recent morning in my nasty hot bathroom. In my undies. Only my undies. I was drying my hair so that the ends curled under when my hair dryer slipped out of my hand. Instinctively, I tried to catch it as it fell. But what I actually accomplished was something completely different- I managed to burn myself both on my hand and my bare belly. Ouch! Damnit! Yep. I am now the proud owner of a blistering burn just south of my belly button. Joyful. And the lesson? Wear clothes while styling my hair. Nah. There's no fun in that. But I will let hot things fall as they may from now on!

Gremlin Invasion!

Hubby asked me in a joking manner if I was keeping my eyes on our little "gremlin". And the more I think of that, the more I think he hit the nail right on the head. Our youngest is irresistibly cute (okay, maybe I am a bit biased...) to the point that I just want to squeeze him and cuddle with him constantly. And I am only encouraged by his little game of kissing... "I kiss your nose, mommy?" (smack) "I kiss your cheek?" (smack) "And your other cheek?" (smack) Then his little hands grab either side of my face, pulling me toward him as he is saying "And your forehead, mommy?" (smack) Finally he tilts my head up and asks to kiss "yours chin?" (smack) But then you turn your back and !BAM! he transforms into a little imp! He seems to actually derive pleasure from shocking his parents and getting into trouble. Oh, how he can vex us! Then, like the flick of a switch, he's back to cute, adorable little AW. It's incredible to watch, it really is- when you're not stuck in the wrath of it, that is...
