quick note

well, it's after midnight, i should be in bed. my left eye has been red for three days. but it's not pink eye. i think it's too much strain. good thing i'm taking the kids to disneyland tomorrow instead of spending time at home on the computer or reading. ok, so i'm in love with the band The National. i've been listening to them nonstop for the past three days. them and The Swell Season.

Rowen is potty training, so that's pretty exciting. of course, she finally decides to get the hang of it a week after i buy a $40 box of diapers. and she hates wearing diapers instead of pull-ups. actually, she only likes wearing panties, and if i accidentally call them underpants, she gets mad and tells me to call them panties. she only had one half-accident today, and that was right before we were going to put her pajamas on. so yeah, within a month or two, i should be able to stop carrying around a diaper bag. well, i might need to carry around a spare change of clothes for her for awhile.

Logan reads so well it amazes me. and when he reads, he puts feeling into the words. It's so cute, really. sometimes he doesn't want to read, but then once i get him started, he'll read two or three books in a row. his only real problem, is that he memorizes words so easily, that sometimes when he comes across an unfamiliar word, he substitutes a word he knows, or he guesses what the word is instead of trying to sound it out. i guess it's good that he memorizes words after only reading them a couple of times. because he hates to sound words out.

the kids want to do nothing besides watch scooby doo movies and listen to the animaniacs. Rowen is so darn cute about it, though, especially when she starts singing the songs herself when i don't start playing them right away. then she stops half way through the song and tells me that the "songs are really cool, huh?" she's actually managed to go a whole week without getting hurt. i might be able to get the kids pictures taken next week if Logan's eyes look normal.

well, this note ended up being not so quick. bed is calling.
bye.















p.s. i was reorganizing our digital photos and came across this one. it made me laugh and smile, so i thought i'd post it.
