Hello there bloggers!
The last couple of months has been a whirlwind of busy stuff. Last weekend, Spartan took myself -along with my little carnies- to DC. So much fun! Went to the Museum of Natural History. I could spend months going to museums to just hang out. What a cool place. Very educational. How very cool of Spartan - he survived 3 days in one room with the bunch of us - not a small thing considering he is used to being solo.
The city was just in the process of putting in place the final preparations for the Presidential Inauguration. The streets had all of the stands up and they were actually starting to block off the streets... and then there was the OCEAN of port-o-potties. So wish I'd taken a picture of it. I'm quite sure they must have brought them in from all of the surrounding states. Quite a funny sight.
I am very much looking forward to winter being over. As a little side project we have been fattening up the local squirrels by giving them daily helpings of peanut buttered rolls. There is a small army of them now. Each of them approximately the size of a mommy raccoon. They are grey with white tummies and white tufts of hair that pop out above their ears. Cute as can be. Babs keeps trying to catch one. She likely will one of these days. They are getting slower by the minute. I'm hoping she catches one actually - they would make fantastic slippers. (I jest.)
In another note - people keep listening in on the fax line at work - and the line identifies it as a voice call so the line rings. I picked it up today and made ridiculous fax sounds into it. My boss is probably still laughing.
I've got no little people at the moment and have already been to the gym today so I am going to gladly take this opportunity to crash on the couch - catch my breath and vegetate whilst watching the idiot box (as my mother calls it). Speaking of TV - Grey's was quite the tear jerker last night... must be trying to up their ratings... it's getting really good these days.
Hope you are all well. I blog to you all very often in my head - I just don't make it to the keyboard as often as I'd like.

Argh yes, the transition from lone operator to (little) people carrier is a bit of a jolt. The sudden appearance of child seats in the back of the car. Having to remember to wear jammies 50% of the time.
But I think the thing I was least prepared for was the welcome home after a tiring day at work.
Bobo! Bobo! Boob! Come look at the spaceship I've made (lego). These are laser cannons and these are nuclear bombs and this sends out a force field.
The wall of boy energy and excitement that lil'o me has entered their lives can be quite overwhelming. Utterly lovely! But oh for a Gin and Tonic and a quite chat with Hulla sometimes! Argh, the price of being a popular step-dad!
dc is indeed a very cool place.. havent been there in about 10 years now..
What is going to happen to the squrells when you are gone for a week? They will revolt because of the lack of peanut butter. Then will where we be?
I welcome our soon-to-be squirrel overlords.
LMAO @ your Squirrel Slippers! Will you have little tails flipping up off the back?
