Minimike Minimike turned 3 on Wednesday. 3! I didn’t get home until late in the evening so we celebrated on Thursday. She doesn’t keep a calendar so she didn’t even realize we switched days on her. We had some friends over for cupcakes and the children destroyed the living room while the adults chatted. Good Times.
My goal is to get out of the house without forgetting anything. I was almost successful last week. I was pulling out of the driveway and I thought, “Where’s my coffee?

The Red Robin mascot was even hangin’ out, much to the delight of Minimike and terror of Minime. Minime’s latest observation of inherited traits: Mommy and Minimike are like, (singing bubbly) “We-like-a-people!” Me and Daddy are like, […]
Where are we going? What are you talking about? What’s your favorite color? Yeah, so? Spelling is pointless: Mommy (whispering to Lola): Is it time for her N-A-P? Minimike (screaming): Noooo! I don’t have to take a N-P-D-D-K-P-A-D-D! Underpants!
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip [rate 4] Studio 60 is about a writing team that takes over an SNL-type show after the exec producer loses it during a live broadcast when a potentially controversial sketch is pulled from the lineup.
