Okay, now for some procrastination fun - watch the Dancing 2008 video of this guy who has traveled around the world and I bet you'll feel happy afterwards. It's really cute and well done.

Amazon.com has Pixar Collector's and Special Edition 2-disk DVD sets on sale for under $13 each. This is a great deal. I am completing our collection right now (my husband and I have seen them all, but the kids haven't). They also make great gifts. The boys really love "Cars" and "Finding Nemo," so I am sure they'll love the rest of them. We'll have plenty of options on those rainy days.

Amazon is currently having a big DVD sale, with prices as low as $6.49. I just ordered some Leap Frog titles, including "Talking Words Factory," the sequel to "The Letter Factory," which is a really fun DVD. It was only $7.49. I'll try to review it once we've watched it a few times. I know I've been slow to review stuff, but I've got a running list of things to write about, which I'll be able to do fairly soon. Only one more week of critical care (until residency).

One fun thing about blogging that I didn't expect was how much I get to peruse our photos and reflect on the things we've done. The other day, I said to J, "Wouldn't it be fun to have this as my day job?" He said, "Yes, but then you wouldn't really have anything to blog about." Oh right. I guess what makes part of this interesting is that there are lots of other exciting things going on. If my job was just to blog every day, it probably would be hard to come up with stuff to write about. ("Today I blogged again...").

The boys are constantly cracking me up. They are just so hilarious. I wish I could write all the funny stuff down or capture all of them on film - what I write here is just the tip of the iceberg. M comes up with the funniest things sometimes. When we're near something dangerous (a lawnmower for example), I say to him, "That is a lawnmower. It's used to cut grass. Only grownups or big people can use them because they are dangerous and not toys." Today, we went to the hardware store to pick up some plant food and we saw some lawnmowers. M said "Cut grass. Big people do it. Not a toy." It was very cute. I guess he really remembers stuff I tell him.

And A was really funny today too. He had a fit of the giggles which we happened to catch on video. The tape ran out on the actual video camera and I didn't have time to grab another one, so we had to use the video feature on our Canon Elph, which makes it a bit grainy. In any case, it was pretty infectious giggling, and I am thankful we captured it on film. One day, he can appreciate how much laughter he brought into our lives. I have to say, if this doesn't make you laugh (or at least crack a smile), then you are in desperate need of a good vacation.

By the way, J is the one making goo goo noises at A, and you can hear me giggling in the background.
