Before and after

Friday Reese came home from school and announced he needed to go get a hair cut. He had been growing his hair out for over a year and I had already told him that it was time for a trim. He clarified that he needed it cut SHORT. I asked him why after growing it for so long did he want to cut it short rather than just trim it neat. Well he had bragged at school that on Monday he would come in with a big surprise. OK Off to get a $10 hair cut at Wal Mart.

Poof right before my eye I had a new kid!

He said when he went to school everyone was looking at him. He said "Why are you all staring at me?" His teacher replied "Because we can SEE you!" Reese retorted "and now I can SEE too!"

They Might be Giants

The boys have finally discovered TMBG. I have always like that band since the 80's and now everything old is new again. It actually started with the baby. He loves the HOT DOG song from Disney Channel's Mickey Mouse Clubhouse as well as the Higglytown Heroes. I tried to explain to the kids who that band was and I pulled out some old CD's and TAPES ( anyone remember TAPES?)

Now Reese has about 50 songs on his ipod. By far their favorites are the "Fingertips" songs. They wake up to "Mysterious Whispers" each morning.

Last night we given a live music video of "Particle Man". Reese sang a capella the other boys acted it out complete with props.

Even better we video taped it.

Blackmail anyone?
