Uncle Elijah visited this weekend – all the way from Tennessee! Tonight we had a lovely Valentines Day dinner at Acapulcos, followed by uncle jungle-gym activities, monkey in the middle, a bedtime story, and plenty of talk about poop and “crispies”…Norah’s word for whiskers. Have a safe trip home Lij! And hide the valuables because we’re passing through Grassy Cove on our Summer 2011 Road Trip!
This is a public service announcement for those of you who let your kids play with your iPhones or iPads. I recently received 3 iTunes invoices for a bucket of Smurfberries ($4.99), a wheelbarrow of Smurfberries ($49.99), and a wagon of Smurfberries ($99.99). I had downloaded a free Smurf game for Norah, and for 15 minutes after entering my iTunes password, she was allowed to make “In-App” purchases without needing me to re-enter my password. I promptly deactivated the ability to make in-app purchases, and luckily Apple refunded my money as a one-time courtesy. It’s a good thing, because I’m not sure what kind of a job a 4-year-old could get.
Today was the elementary school performance of Honk!, the Broadway version of the Ugly Duckling. I have absolutely no photos because I was tied up videotaping the shows for DVDs that will be distributed to the cast (no pressure!). I’m hoping some of my friends will take pity on me and send me some photos that I can post. The kids did a great job!
Duende Bloo (and her parents) came to visit for the weekend! Unfortunately, my niece currently hates me. I’m sure it’ll pass, but it makes it impossible to perform my auntly duties at the moment.
I’m headed to Las Vegas next week on business so I went to the mall to supplement my business casual wardrobe. I guess this doesn’t qualify as business casual, but I thought it was so cool…it’s made of strips of fabric pinned to the floor – not very practical unless you’re planning to be stationary for the evening, but a very eye-catching window display (at Anthropologie).
