The moment when a child knows what you’re thinking

Children are a fabulous, compact, confusing version of us.  What they see and do may not immediately be proof of them being from you.  Stop for a moment, twist what they’re saying, pronounce it like Urkel from Family Matters would and you just might understand what they’re trying to tell you.

A messy child meets the Mohawk SmartStrand carpet

Perhaps I shouldn’t say, ‘a messy child’, it’s more accurate to state a child that loves to make a mess.  You may have one of them too.  When I told him he’d be able to make a mess, on purpose he couldn’t get to The Dogwood Festival quick enough.  The folks from Mohawk Flooring had a tent and invited kids (see: anyone) to make a mess on their carpet.

Our 3.5 year old is just learning how to count past 20.  He immediately liked David Carter’s 100 when he saw the book because of the crisp, bright illustrations.  I didn’t realize how good the book was though until our 8 year old niece came over and started to look through the book.

Watching Oblivion is not the end of the world-you’ll really like it.

End of the world and time travel movies are fascinating because, unless they’re really horrible, they look OK from one angle or the other.  There is also the steampunk element that make them visually fun, when done right.  Oblivion is an end the world movie that’s been compared to a live action version of WALLE.

My ride on the #despicablimp

There are things that I never knew I wanted to do until I was presented with the opportunity to do them.  After being provided with the opportunity to ride the #despicablimp  I knew that this would be one of those things.  A.  It’s a blimp, and the only time you ever see those things is at major sporting events.  B.  It’s a Despicalbimp in the shape of a Minion from Despicable Me.

It’s a blimp and a cartoon character.  If they served bacon on the flight I would’ve signed up for anything to allow the experience not to end.  Continue reading My ride on the #despicablimp
