I thought the same thing...

Recently, the kids have taken a liking to Toby Mac, of former DC Talk fame (sorry Toby, no matter what planet you fly to, whose life you save, what drug you invent, you will always be of DC Talk fame).
Not sure how they latched onto him, but Maggie bought a CD, and then the kids found out he had done a Veggie Tales song, which totally raised his stock.

Today, Louise found his CD sitting around. Turning it over to reveal his photo on the back, she turns, "Mom, I thought Toby Mac had dark skin, because I usually like music from people with dark skin."

Louise, I thought the same thing.

I'm Catman

Just completed a rescue mission over to Mr. Duane's new house. Actually, he's not in his house and therein lies the problem, a "I just moved in, haven't put a spare key outside yet, and locked myself out" problem.

Who is Mr. Duane going to turn to but the greatest little boy he knows, Garrett "I can fold myself in half while giggling" Bowling.

I pick up the phone, "Bowling, will Garrett fit through the cat door?"

There's only one way to find out.

"Everyone in the car!"

Surprisingly, when I announced our intentions, I was met by universal approval and exclamations of awesomeness by the gang.

12 minutes later, after coaxing Stinky the little white dog out of the doorway, Garrett plunges in without so much as a sweat and saves the day. His first taste of breaking and entering.

We all have aspirations

On a recent rescue mission over to Mr. Duane's house, we brought along the extra-sister Alexa, seeing as though I was the dad of many.

Emily and Louise decided to take the plunge and expand their enterprises: "Alexa, do you want to join our band?"

"What's your band's name?"

"We're the Shooting Stars," Louise proudly boasts.

"And you can play any instrument you want," Emily offers.

Alexa thinks about it a moment, realizing that if you really want to make it as a band you have to dedicate yourself fully, practice in the garage at all hours of the day, grow out one side of your hair and shave the other side, and forgo college. It is a tough decision, one that may change the fate of her life. Looking into herself to see whether she could pass up this opportunity and not live a life of regret, she realizes the most important thing.

"Can I play the flute? I'll be in the band if I can play the flute."

We all have aspirations.

You know how we are

On a recent rescue mission over to Mr. Duane's house, we brought along the extra-sister Alexa, seeing as though I was the dad of many.

Emily tells Alexa of the last trip to Club Duane, where we forgot to pack Emily and Garrett's swimsuits. They had to swim in their street clothes. "It was OK, though, because mom brought us extra clothes to change into."

Louise chimes in, "Yeah, she brought all of us a change of clothes, underwear too. It was in case we wet in our pants... 'cause you know how we are."
