Colored Bubbles is not as easy as you think

Coming this February (or maybe sooner), there will be a new product on the toy shelves called Zubbles. They are colored bubbles. That's right, bubbles that come out pink, black, green, blue or any number of other colors. It has to be one of the most amazing ideas to hit in a while. And this article in Popular Science details its invention. It's a fascinating story.

Hello. My name is Twench and I have a sweet tooth

Is it a sign you may have a bit of a sweet tooth when your neighbor lets you know her son has set aside all his peanut M&M's from Halloween because he knows you like peanut M&M's A LOT?

I thought so.

Happy 1st Birthday sweetie!

P.S. Yes, your daddy is a geek. In time, you will learn to accept this and maybe even appreciate it once in a while.

It was good while it lasted

My dear Lauren,

We had such a good thing going there. I would change your diaper and feed you in the morning. You would hold onto the putrid, eye tearing, nose stinging deposit until we were on our way to day care. Why did you have to change that? Now, I have to drop you off and go home to take another shower just so people at daddy's work won't think he needs a diaper change.

Love,
Daddy

Gallery Update

Huge update to Lauren's gallery folks. Run on over there and check it out.

And the trend continues

Let's just say Day 4 has been no different from teh rest this week. On a side note, she was a real Chatty Cathy this morning.

Timing is the key to everything

My little girl is really really smart. She's added something to our morning routine that would normally seem unpleasant. However, she's timed this new activity at a point that I can really enjoy it. You see, she has now decided that our ride to Miss Aysha's is the perfect time to let loose a steaming pile so horrid that windows must remain open lest I go blind from the stinging. This has happened everyday for the past 3 days. Like I said, normally, this would be a bad thing. I am able enjoy this though because I can hand her off to Miss Aysha with this biological weapon in her diaper, say "Good bye sweetie ... and you might want to change that diaper" BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I sure hope Miss Aysha has some kind of protection there, maybe a gas mask and hazmat suit. Otherwise, the rest of her day will be spent smelling like smelting factory that's downwind from a manure factory.
