a bit of parenting advice

If your kids are sitting on each other's faces and annoyind the general public at large, do not ask them to draw pictures of each other to quiet them down.  That was my genius idea last night.  Descriptions follow because I made the kids throw them out. 
Amelia of Jonny: one artsy drawing of a pile of poop
Jonny of Amelia: a girl lying down with x's for eyes and a frown, a tombstone over her head which reads "death by brothers"
James of Jonny: an overly large person with a little bitty head; next to the person is a tiny person holding a pin to pop the large person
They haven't laughed that hard in a long time.

delayed trip report

Well I guess it's obvious that our recent trip has not made it on the blog.  I would love to do it justice, so you'll have to wait a bit longer.  I have high hopes that it will still happen.  Many of our trips (and yours to see us) have never made it on the blog because I didn't want to do a rush job.  SO, here's to hoping it'll happen once school is in session!
