You wanted it, you asked for it, so here it is. A post. Hopefully this post will satisfy all your desires. I am not writing about the apple of my eye, Claire, but of the other apple of my eye--reality tv. I love it! Right now I am getting my fill of Big Brother. I have even lured Chris into my dark place. He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really like Orange County better. The ladies are less shallow, catty and certainly less snotty. However, I watch NYC because it is so far off from what I know as reality that it is rather comical. Who would pay $75 for their 11 year old child and 6 of her friends to get their hair washed, dried and styled (not even well) for a little dance??!! I just can't imagine. What a waste! I think it is funny how they point out the cost of everything as if they're money is all tied to their self-worth. What a joke of an existance! Anyway, those are my two, loser, must-watch reality shows. They are both lame, but guaranteed to make you smile!
The Halloween festivities are in full swing here. We attended a "Fall Festival" at my school on Thursday evening and today we enjoyed a "fall festival" at the girls' school. We've managed to keep their costumes a secret until Wednesday when Claire spilled the beans. She was doing so well at keeping the secret, I almost thought she wasn't our child for awhile ;) Claire dressed as "Pinkalicious" and Mya was a cupcake. My Mom and Dad bought Claire the book, "Pinkalicious" for her first birthday. It has been an on-going hit with our girls. They both have the entire book memorized. It is such a cute book where this girl named "Pinkalicious" loves pink. She eats too many pink cupcakes and turns pink, which she is thinks is simply beautiful then red, which is less than favorable. She eats her vegetables to turn alleviate her pain. In the meantime, her little brother is envious and devours the last one, then turns pink too. It is a ...

Hey, has Claire said "Dad" again? Ethan is rolling over now but won't be talking for some time I guess.

My choice of tv shows are often not too intellectually stimulating, but I think I watch them for that reason. A nice break after a long day!
Nick, I used to watch American Idol, but Chris is rubbing off on me. He makes fun of it all the time. I do hear the highlights on the radio. Glad to hear you have your own "dark place."
No she hasn't been saying "dad" lately. I think it was a fluke, meaningful yes, a real word, yes, but a fluke. Chris interprets everything she says now as being "dad" or "dadda" or whatever. It is comical. Once they start rolling, changes are constant. Fun times are ahead at your house.
Love ya,
