i can’t heeeeaaar you

Today was too short! I didn’t manage to get many of the things I planned to do, done. I don’t quite know what took the time away. I think it’s the darkness coming so much earlier.

I’m all boiling with thoughts on adolescence and social development. Especially in an online environment. As regular readers of my blog will recall, Faith adores Club Penguin. The tenor and overall culture of the game has been changing in subtle and not-so-subtle ways in the last year, and it is much more schoolyard than before, with all that implies. Faith finds it more and more difficult to simply “play” on Club Penguin due to the polarized and often mildly predatory nature of boy/girl interactions. Tonight I showed her the beauty of the Ignore feature and I hope it helps. Lord knows it has made many message boards and Facebook more tolerable for me.

Challah!

We baked challah today.

It’s unbelievably good.

Trixie is a fairy, Abby is a bad fairy, Faith is a cave girl, and Gilbert is SuperBoy. Gloria and Bede didn’t ToT because Bede didn’t want to and instead they handed out candy with me.

Gloria tells us how it is

Gloria was awake very late and was chatty due to falling asleep for an hour at 9PM.

I videoed her.

Here you go.

Gloria gives it her all.

Bede threw scores of leaves and called them flying birds.

Gilbert steps up on the logs. Best play structures ever.

Gloria hopes for a pull. She sat there optimistically for a good five minutes…

IMG_1327

…and Faith obliged her.

Abby and Faith also looked for a dirt fairy, in the style of Five Children and It.

Trixie was delighted by everything.

Gilbert was too. He saw a rainbow!

Sometimes it’s all so beautiful I have to close my eyes.

A story in four parts, by Bede Gleeson

Bede made this little vignette today while we were carving pumpkins. It stars Buster and Babs Bunny, of Tiny Toons.

They see pumpkins, wow!

They go to the pumpkin patch (they seem to have left their costumes.)

And then a pumpkin explodes! Ewwww!

I uploaded some pix from the last few weeks to flickr, including Bede and his Acorn Hat, playing in the backyard, drawing and reading in the dining room and Sean’s recent haircut.

And even a few of me!

This face comes to me, saying “Hewwo! Tisses, Mama!” and then holds my face while she kisses me.

She’s a delightful child.

Bede draws the TARDIS and Vortex

The last holdout in the family has capitulated and become Whovian.

(It says POLICE BOX up on the top of the long skinny TARDIS.)

Crocs and Chucks (and Docs)



Crocs and Chucks, originally uploaded by feebeeglee.

I was sorting shoes when it occurred to me that all we wear is Chuck Taylors and Crocs (or imitations thereof.) Except Sean; he wears Docs or Chucks.

That sums us up, yeah?

Goofy boy!

The fat just walks away…

Well. Then falls asleep in the laundry basket.

indoctrination

I was seeing if a pea coat that was too small for me in the sleeves would fit Sophia (sadly, it did not.)

The children wanted to try it on too, of course:

And my geeky fangirl heart swelled when Trixie said, “Look, I’m the Doctor!”
