In what’s become a yearly tradition, the Smith family presents another fun year of pumpkining. We’re joined this year by Chynna and Darian. Both Elliott and Neela drew their own faces this year, and Elliott even helped carve. Carol and I had some quiet time after the kids went to bed. It was almost like a date, only with a lot more slimy seeds, big teeth, and owl pumpkins.

The music this time is by Menomena, Passion Pit, and Grizzly Bear (links go to the iTunes store).

UPDATE: I increased the quality of the video fairly dramatically. SHould look better and load faster now. If it’s still loading too slowly, you can turn off HD.

I have stretched my lobes again, and I am having so much fun with this concept. Only because of the beautiful things I find to stick in the holes. (more…)

Our baby girl turned 3 yesterday. When I start to get sad at how time is speeding up to a sprint, instead of a jog, I go into her as she is “Sleeping”… (more…)

Theres a phrase in the twittering community “Re-Tweet” or “RT”. Its where you liked something someone else updated their twitter status with so much, that you wanted to share it too. When you see it it looks like this: RT@NotBrit “I love sushi”. Why am I telling you this? (more…)

If you haven’t watched this yet, you should. She is hilarious. (more…)

Ok, Elliott really doesnt have anything to do with this entry, I just wanted to share this picture. Doesnt he look older? Smokes. Time is speeding up again. There is a new goodwill around the corner from us. Pretty big, and ready to supply almost any retail need you have. Its a good one. I went with the simple intention to look for a tea pot for Neela’s up coming bday party, but I found lots of good stuff. (more…)

The beloved Vespa no longer resides in our care. The picture is from its coming home party back in Aug 2007. Ethan wiped his single lonely tear right before moving up to bigger and better things. (more…)

Sorry it took so long… We’ve had a few things goin on. I was sick, E traded in the the Vespa and its HOT which makes me as productive as a slug moving across a layer of salt. (ewwww… I just grossed myself out.) Well, without the frothing. Or the dieing. But anyway, without further-a-do, a winner has been chosen …….drum-roll please…. (more…)

I decided to make an outfit for N tonight. Lets call it her Annual Cribbage Tournament attire. (more…)

I cut Elliotts hairs yesterday, and I think I did an fantastic job of what not to do. (more…)
