Seattle Trip: Fun on the Swings

Seattle Trip: And Wii Danced

It wouldn't be (early) Thanksgiving without video games -- this year, that meant the Wii. M and Phil got really into Red Steel, and we all had fun with Wii Tennis. (I was surprised that, even with my wrist in a brace, I had a great time with it -- it's easy to play with your non-dominant hand.) But the most entertaining photo opportunities definitely came during our Dance Dance Revolution attempts, as you can see below.

Seattle Trip: Bath Time!

I had a little turtle
His name was Tiny Tim
I put him in the bathtub
To see if he could swim

He drank up all the water
He ate up all the soap
And now he's lying sick in bed
With bubbles in his throat

Thanks to Mike and Addie (seen here with Phil) for teaching me her favorite bathtime song. :)

I Can Has LolPrez?

It may not be a surprise that the lolcats and their companions make ICanHasCheezburger.Com one of my must-check web sites every morning. (Does the fact that I'm intrigued by the phenomenon of cat grammar make me a total nerd? Probably.) I'm particularly partial to the poor lolrus's bukkit saga, which includes:







Imagine how excited I was to find the "next generation" of lolcats: LolPrez! First faves:

First Snow Already?

We had a wonderful time in Seattle! I took about a million photos, which I'll try to get posted this week. In the meantime, I just had to share (especially with all my elsewhere-based family, several of whom asked me this weekend when we'd get our first snow here) that I'm looking out my 20th floor window at work right now at little tiny snowflakes. Maybe it doesn't really count, because there's no way it's going to stick, but still -- it's snow!
