I have been having the most amazing weekend, and now I feel like I have an enormous hangover or something. I went babysitting this afternoon, and Tre played with action figures and killed them about a thousand times. He is adorable, and very hyperactive.. he likes to pretend he is flying.

I read him a story called "The Long, Long Letter." That should definitely go into the Children's Book Database.. it's super sweet. All of the characters have bulbous rosy noses. I realized how much I like reading to kids, because you get to use crazy voices. They sit on your lap and giggle at the pictures, and when you make jokes they really pay attention.

Babysitting is all about getting to know the kid you're with, so you can have interesting conversations about Batman vrs. Captain Planet or whatever.

I would like to say publicly that I like snails. This is one of Cordell's snails:


Edit: P.S. Props to Lucas for his mad crazy photographer skills!
