You've Got Mail

Watching "You've Got Mail". The technology is dated, but the story is still charming.

Twilight Sparkle Fashion

After the great Packers victory we went to Kmart and completed the one and only exchange/return of our Christmas season: Junie's Twilight Sparkle sweatshirt was too small and was exchanged for a Rainbow Dash version in 10-12.

Friends

Watching "Friends" with Lisa. TV perfection. Best. Sitcom. Ever.

Reggie White - 10 years On

RIP Packers legend Reggie White, gone ten years today.

Owling??

We were discussing some very tentative plans for #TeamSlap to do the Polar Bear Plunge on New Years, and Junie, eager to join the discussion, said she wanted to go "owling" on that day. She defined this as looking for owls in the woods. 

We all laughed. "You just can't add 'ing' to the end of an animal word and make it a thing," Lulu said.

Of course Junie  started crying, which lasted until Lisa rescued her by Binging it and  proving that "owling" is a "thing" - just nothing like what she made up. 

Apparently it's grown-ass human beings taking pictures of themselves perched like owls.

Good thing it's Christmas or I may offer an opinion on the state of mankind. Oh well, at least they're not turtle-ing . :)

Winding Down the Holiday

Playing Scrabble with Lisa while we listen to Christmas music. Two hours left to celebrate the Lord's birth.

My Coleman Lantern

From my step-mother-in-law I got the following gift worthy of the coming Zombie Apocalypse: a Coleman LED lantern with four detachable, rechargeable lanterns. Booyah!

The Disastrous Autograph Book Suprise

For two month's we told the kids their Disney autograph books had gone AWOL when Lisa's luggage was lost for a few days. Meanwhile we filled them with photographs and stickers (the books, not the kids), personalizing each, and gave them to them last night. The reaction? Unexpected.

YaYa and Smiley labelled us as liars and said it was a betrayal, while LuLu, foot in mouth, backpedaled on an earlier statement that she didn't care about their loss. My Junie reacted with wonder and glee, and successfully reconstructed some of the clues that should have given the game away. YaYa was so p.o'd , as a matter of fact, that she refused to pose for pictures on Christmas morning. 

What a bunch of kooks. LOL
