Around LACMA

And the La Brea Tar Pits

But I want him to stay a baby forever.

Humor me. Just humor me, okay?

So I quickly (and thus, very badly) Photoshopped these two images together while Kai watched Curious George this afternoon. I love the RPatz. I love her. And in my mind, they make the perfect couple (pale, tall, brooding, can actually pass for vampires…) Visually, I wanted to see if it would work, hence my photo manip. In conclusion, I think I am a good matchmaker.

Sorry Natalie.

And I am the hugest. Dork in the world.

Are you excited about the Oscars? I am. Enough to drive down to LA on Saturday and shove our way through the crowds at the Kodak Theater just to glimpse the red carpet. For what it’s worth, we did kid stuff too, like the Page Museum at the La Brea Tar pits and a Disney Hall drive-by. Though Kai was vocal about not wanting to leave all the Oscar hoopla. That’s my boy.

And our timing was right, because…

We saw Tim Gunn! I love Tim Gunn and all his Gunn-isms. I wanted to yell “We miss Project Runway! Make it work!!” but didn’t. Because that’s just dumb. And I felt bad enough gawking at him and taking his pic. Look how he scowls at us.

I recently discovered these great educational Kumon workbooks at Target. Kai and I give them a two-thumbs up and a high-five.

Around 5pm most days is our dance-off pants-off (if you’re Kai.) Because I say “No thanks” to cooking dinner while unhappy little people swarm about me in the kitchen.

In our current music repertoire:

Animal Collective

Tilly and the Wall. Kai loves this video. LOVES.

And if you like indie pop/electronica, check out Ms. John Soda and The Notwist.

(Overlooking the rumor that Slumdog’s Frieda Pinto may be a husband ditcher), I am thrilled to see dark-skinned Asians rising in the media. Padma Lakshmi as the new spokesperson for Pantene? This is good. This is progress. And inspiration for people to quit Eskinol already!

Kai and I got our craft on this rainy week. We hope the grandmas and grandpa enjoy receiving their cards in the mail (and that no excess glue via Child-Gone-Wild dried the cards shut.)

Still feeling full — two hours after the fact — from our delish Valentine’s breakfast this morning downtown. Thank you, thank you Aubrei, for watching the boys!

And I’m so happy that many of you enjoyed the free downloads. I’ve been playing with the idea of offering more designs since there was such a positive response to the Valentine’s cards. Maybe once a month. Just for fun. But thank you all so much for your kind comments (and excitement over the Twilight cards!).

Happy three-day weekend. : )

We are a family that gets McNuggets cravings every now and then.

We give in when the baby wants some fries.

And we sometimes don’t dress our age.

We are honest when we ask for a cup for water. And get only that,
even when the soda machine is within arms-reach.

And we get very excited over Happy Meal toys.

And I will end this by saying that McDonald’s is wrong. WRONG! It represents everything I’m against; crummy 90′s pastel decor. A clown that was probably the inspiration for “It” (I accidentally caught parts of the movie when I was little and am ruined). Self-maximizing corporate execs who care only about the bottom line vs. quality. Trans fat. Beef tallow. Ugh! I mean, yum! I mean, gross…

Maybe that’s what makes it so good when we do give in. Because McDonald’s is pure sin. McDonald’s sundaes, I heart you forever.

For all you closet Twi-hards.
