Spring Fun

Well now it really is Spring.  Follow along via pictures on Google’s Picasa service as we get rid of the old cribs, put matchbox cars on an easel, point out our first tulip of the year, buy beer for Uncles Jim and Pete’s party, eat tater tots at Burger King, goof around downtown Belmont, see a burning van on the road, visit a yard sale, and throw balsa wood airplanes in the park!

Quotes of the Day: Protection of Intellectual Property and the Appreciation of Beauty

Quotes occasioned by the watching of Sleeping Beauty.

• Leah: Does our movie stop working if we make a copy?  How do we make a copy?  Let’s not talk about making a copy of the movie.  (Concerned by the copyright warning).
• Isaac: I don’t like beautiful things.  I love Spiderman and he loves me.  I love monster trucks and motorcycles.  You’re the one who loves beautiful things (pointing to Leah).
• Leah: I love beautiful things.  Like Princesses.  Ariel’s sister is named Aurora.
• Isaac and Leah: More toast, please.

Another Big People Podcast

Here Leah describes her Big Girl, named Princess, not Truck Truck Truck or Princess Truck, and Isaac describes his Big Boy more, whose name is Motorcycle Octopus Smokestack, not Motorcycle Octopus Smoketack, as previously reported. and we learn Motorcycle has a hard-working family.
