2009 Halloween Costumes

 

Unfortunately, Matt didn't make this photos because he's in bed with the flu. :-(

Two quick Marcus stories...

1) This morning when he woke up, first thing he said was

"i just remembered...you guys owe me a lot of money!"

Why is that?

Because every time you let me buy something, you keep the change!

2) Last night he and I stayed home to watch the terrible Redskins lose another game. While we were there he said,

"Dad, I'm gonna build a website."

OK.

So, he got started. Here is what he has so far...

Let's Squish our fruit together...

Another new musical from ImprovEverywhere. Good stuff...

Rehearsing for an audition...

#1 Son is auditioning for the middle-school musical this week. It's been fun watching him learn a monologue, practice some dance moves, and sing "Footloose". In fairness, I have to say "Footloose" has to be the most difficult song I've ever tried to sing. It's in funny register, has no real melody besides the endless repetition of "Footloose". I wish he had chosen to sing something else...oh well.

One more thing...I've never seen Footloose. When I was a kid I somehow thought it was an immoral movie. I honestly don't know why...I was OK with dancing and my folks let me go to school dances. Who knows the mind of a teenager...

Marcus' New Tie

Marcus' New Tie

Marcus has been wanting a bow tie for months (since July I'd say). This week his Mimi and a neighbor both sent him bowties! He is in heaven. Here he is wearing the one from Mimi. You can see his proud smile just glowing.

Does this sound familiar?

It's hard to believe this rose to the level of a lead national story at Yahoo! News today.  Quite sad...
