Day 5 - A Double Header

As it turns out I have already had two moments of gratitude this morning.

#1- R.E.M. was on Sesame Street this morning which made it imparative we all stop for a spontaneous living room dance party. Shiny Happy Monsters, indeed.

#2-Clara and I were preparing to take our shower together. I was running around collecting clothes and towels and she was streaking through the house in delicious naked-baby glee. When from out of the living room I hear Ben yell "Oh, Oh, Oh, Cwara, Yucky!"

What I was thankful for at that moment.... Hardwood floors.

REM was on Sesame Street? Surely you jest! DANG!

I remember reading about R.E.M's appearance on Sesame Street - apparently they had to film it in the morning, which just about killed the band, since they were used to getting up mid-afternoon.

LOL! I've been thankful for the hardwood floors in KayTar's room on more than one occassion. Her messes usually involved the other end though. ;)

Do you know how often you make me laugh out loud?!?

Pumpkin spit up so much as a baby that we got to where we wouldn't even burp her unless we were standing over the hardwood floors. I can still hear that "Splat!"

Oh, that was funny. We've seen that episode of Sesame Street once or twice, although it never occurred to me to stop and dance.

Wendy said...

I remember that episode...Will & I used to dance to it, well jump like they did.. (I think we saw it more than once).

I have laminate floors - just as easy to clean, although messes are invariably made on the rugs instead. What's the deal with that?

Hardwood floors are definitely a blessing. Besides toddlers, we used to have an old dog. A very old dog.

I have said too much.
