Two for the price of one

Last night, as we do every night, Taylor accompanied me for a walk to let the dog do her business. Lately he's been even more excited about the whole process...

"Maddie gonna pee? Maddie gonna poop? Come get your leash on, Maddie!"

So we're out walking around and Maddie comes in for her final approach in the pooping grounds, when Tay comes up and attacks my leg. I wouldn't think this to be out of the ordinary, except he, too, is bearing down.

"My tummy kinda hurts, Daddy."

"Hold on just a sec, we'll go home right now."

"No way, Daddy."

So there I am, caught in the middle of a poop storm.

Strange Phenomenon

Hi All...hope you're doing well. I'm awake, waiting for it to snow. It's been this way now since I was about 6, but I'm not about to change my ways.

Anyhow, let's get right to the point here. So Tay is absolutely obsessed with Thomas the Tank Engine and his high-fallutin' English chums. We have a few DVDs that he wants to watch 24/7, but let's face it...one can only handle so many train sing-alongs in one day. But don't underestimate his persistence. Thus, a solution has been created: Mommy and Daddy get to enjoy a bit of time watching something other than trains, but Tay can watch 'Tommy' on YouTube.

Now we're getting to the awesome part. Evidently, Tay isn't the only super-fan of Tommy. The re-makes using Tommy feature are unbelievable, and here's a few collections from the library:

Personal Favorite: Thriller

Quite the party!

Hey All,

So I suck and I'm a horrible slacker, but does it help if I say I'm not blogging because I'm spending time with the family? I'm sure winn winn says no, but to that, I say pfffftttt.

Anyhow, just wanted to give a quick re-cap of my company party this last weekend. In short, I came home with a new kickin' xbox, e. coli and scabies. Oh, you want to hear more, eh? Well, an intern found these awesome stuffed animals of germ organisms, etc. and Tay LOVES them.


Tay especially loves this lovely lil' bearded e. coli dude. How can you not think that is awesome??

Anyhow, we're ahead of the game this year and all of our holiday shopping is done (99.6% handmade), the cards have been sent, and the nog has definitely been drank. drunk? drinked? Sometimes I wish I spoke a different language, say Latvian, that I might understand a bit better.

Anyhoo, that's it for now. What are all y'all doing for the holidays?

Home Alone: Day I

So it's now been a little over 12 hours since Shauna headed out for a much deserved girls weekend at the coast, and I'm happy to report that all digits are accounted for on Taylor, the dog, and me. I'm also happy to report that the Chips Ahoy we bought shortly after Shauna's departure are, well, gone.

There *may* be a few dishes to be done, but all in all, the place is in good shape. Now don't get all lippy on me. You know it's totally Taylor's fault. He's like a little pig in slop. And who am I to take him out of his element?!
So the agenda for the rest of the day:

• Elmo
• Tee-ball (Tay got his first tee stand today!)
• Naps
• Blazers game tonight

Wish us luck. Somehow I think we less apt to run into trouble than Shauna is...she seems to draw a somewhat questionable crowd.

Until next time.
