The Verdict

Concert Josh came over last night to meet the little people. Olivia took to him right away, partly because of the ice cream and partly because she whomped him in three straight games of Uno. Dylan showed his approval by being only slightly more obnoxious than usual. We kept the visit to an hour and then I called bedtime. As Dylan crawled under the covers he gave me a cryptic look. "So, Mom, tell me this: why do we have to go to bed so early, HUH?"

"What do you mean, early? It's 9:30. That's your bedtime."

He rolled his eyes at me. "Yeah, sure. Whatever. Have fun."

Word of the Day

Cheap Thrills: The Party
Sent out evites yesterday to the big Halloween party I'm apparently throwing on Oct 29th. If you didn't get one and you want to come, shoot me an email. My fancy new computer - iBook! G4! Yay! - hates my old skool Outlook address book and refuses to even look at it. So I probably left some peeps out.

For those of you planning to attend, I know we said costumes were optional but THEY'RE REALLY NOT. Need help deciding what to be? I'll happily make suggestions. This one is for The Jade:
