Oskar

This morning I was mystified when I found a light bulb wedged under the dryer. And then I realized what must have happened. We keep light bulbs in the drawer in the pedestal under our dryer. So Dwight told Oskar to put the light bulb away under the dryer and Oskar, as always, took his words quite literally.

Carcassonne

I asked Oskar what he wanted as the prize for being the best helper and he said he wanted to play Carcassonne with me.  So we played two games.  And it seemed only fitting that we made a video out of one of them. 

So here you go, Oskar's reward for being a great helper!

Vote for the Best Helper

Who did you think helped out the most? (Of course the obvious winner is Mommy but of the kids, who helped out the most?)

I Wish I Could Rhyme

Dwight and I have been on vacation all week.  We've had such a great time!  Mainly we've just been taking it easy but we went on a couple of hikes, we explored some new places, we watched a lot of movies and...being the total dorks that we are, we made this music video for our kids.  I think Dwight was happy that I fully participated in a musical activity.  (In said euphoria, he briefly forgot how to spell the word "rhyme".)

It's been a great week and while it will be nice to see our children again, we are a little sad all the same, that our week is winding down.  But in the meantime, watch our music video...and remember you're not laughing AT us, you're laughing WITH us.
