compliments

One of the best compliments I've received:

Owen: Mommy, you make the goodest food I like!

a few seconds, and two bites later,

Owen: mmm-mm, Mommy, you make the best food in the world!

You guys didn't know I was so talented in the kitchen right?!
I'm sure you're wondering what kind of gourmet dish I serve my family. Well, wonder no more; this wondrous dish was ... rice mixed with corn.

the next eval knieval?

This is Owen on his scooter at the park. He saw a "big boy" doing this so he wanted to try. I laugh everytime I think of it.
apologies for the quality - it's from my cellphone

other people's blogs

I have been so into reading other blogs that I am not even writing my own. Often I'm reading one, say "manic mommies" and I'll click a link into another one and I start reading that one, for instance, dooce.com. I actually found myself reading some brazilian au pair's blog about her first Halloween in the U.S. Aren't we interested in other people's lives?!
