Hickey Anyone?

I was playing Disney's Scene It with the boys a few days ago. We came upon one of the scenes from the movie, The Kid. Bruce Willis was tucking his younger self in bed and they were talking about first experiences he was going to have..."When do I get my license? When do I get my first car? When do I get my first hickey?"

The scene is over and Christopher (age11) asks, "What is a hickey anyway?" Before I even have a chance to get nervous, Seth (age 6) confidently answers, "It's what you use to blow your nose."

Look What Wandered In...

These are just a few extra guests we have found in and around our house over the last year...

This guy was hanging out near my washing machine...

Same one, different view...

We rescued this one from the cat, but to no avail. The boys had a dragonfly funeral later that day.
Another creepy guy. I don't know which is worse, hairy or not.
Geometride Moth (my best guess)

You know it's time for a timeline when...

we were reading about George III marrying a German. Seth gasps and says, "but Americans are supposed to be fighting the Germans!"

(had to take a second and explain that there was no official 'America' yet and that WWII was still a long way off!)

Pilgrims

Seth's. Looks like Seth's pilgrims are Ticos! :o)
