"Brrrraaaaaains!"

Or maybe he was saying "beets." I couldn't tell. After all that business with zombies a few weeks ago in Austin, we couldn't be too careful.

Simon is not part of the army of the undead, for those who're worried.

Simon and his Dogs. The Dog and her Simon.

 

One of Simon's favorite toys is the Creepy Puppy.  The Puppy talks when you hit buttons that correspond with body parts.  I don't know what its real name, but the Puppy will randomly start talking, long after it's been put away.  

 

Callie's main job in our house is Quality Control.  How does the hamburger taste?  Callie's on it.  Simon dropped a Cheerio on the floor.  Callie's on it.  How comfy is Simon's bean bag chair?  Callie's on it... literally.

 

Callie and Simon have learned how to roll the ball to each other.  We'll get a video up soon.  But for now the blurriness of the ball will have to substitute for motion.

 

I think Simon's becoming a nihilist

Nihilism? Simon, come on! Say what you like about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos.

(Yes, Erinn, I quoted The Big Lebowski on the blog.)

Here's a screenshot of said Nihilist if any readers are out of their element and have no idea what scene I'm referring to.

Last of the cold weather gear

 

We're looking at 75 degree days from here on out, so it's about time to put our cold weather clothes away.  

 

He's hoping he can get into this one next year.

Reading in the bathtub

Waterproof books for the bathtub? Brilliant.

The first of many shampoo mohawks.

Simon the Plumber

Extreme close ups.

Simon cleans off the lens.

We're going to dye his hair black so he can be more 'emo.' Honestly, this picture reminds me of Garth Brooks as Chris Gaines....

NYC

Time to empty the photo tray and let the updates fly. I went to New York a few weeks ago for work. It was snowy and cold.

Went to see August: Osage County. The set was an incredible 3 story house. The play was an incredible 3 hour drama about a dysfunctional family.

Late night dinner at the chicken and rice stand at 53rd and 6th.

Saw this flag in an office building near our hotel.

Took a morning stroll through Central Park. Again, it was still cold.
