Goggle Groovy

Here's some dancing...the music is Kirsty MacColl singing with the The Pogues. The lead singer for the Pogues has very bad teeth and sings with a hamster in his mouth. Kirsty MacColl, however, has some very clever music. She was killed while snorkeling in Mexico with her sons by a supermarket mogul who sped his boat into a restricted area....very strange.

Holiday Acres Mom's Night Out

Mom's Night out. I'the one wearing boots instead of High Heels. I look like Mel is trying to reel me in. Come on Meg, you can be friends with us!

"Juno" Teaches Empathy

Henry has been talking about the movie Juno ever since we watched it a few weeks ago. In particular, the scene where Juno learns her baby's adoptive parents are divorcing and Juno is crying in the car has stuck with Henry. If we hear a child crying in the store, or a see a picture of a sad person, Henry brings up the scene from the movie. Tonight, Sable's crying brought the scene to mind.

Sick

I feel sick.

Halloween

We went to the dentist for Halloween, then out to a cozy fish place in Port Washington with Sally and Dave. After that, we went for drinks up in West Bend for Renee's last day of work, slept over at Mark's, drove down to Milwaukee, flew kites, drank coffee, and toured Marc's lighthouse. Next, we went to Shay and Jo's house, played with the cat, and went for a walk to try to find a place for dinner. We got kicked out of the first place, and landed in a pizza place in the neighborhood. We didn't get kicked out of the pizza place. On the walk home, we checked out a CD store. Turned out the owner went to high school with Smart Dean--small world. That night we drove back to Ripon and hung out there for a bit on Sunday before driving back to Rhinelander. It was a busy weekend.

Moim

Today, we had Ana, Brad and Baby Darwin over for lunch. This was Henry's first major exposure to a newborn baby. The only time he touched the baby, he petted it gently like he pets Sable. He was mostly impressed by the baby's outfit that included little bear ears on the feet. Henry only threw a ball at the baby's head twice. When I asked Henry if he would like to show his toy to the baby he said, clearly and defiantly, "No! Moim!"

New Words for Henry

Henry's new words for the week are: House, Deer, Bear, "There it is," neigh, and (sadly) mine(sounds like moim). I liked Henry more before he could proclaim his selfishness.
