YOU GUYS our baby just learned how to play with Linus! She watched us playing with the cats, and then tried it herself. She giggles when he bats the toy!
FLEE, LINUS, FLEE
These are my awards, Mother. From Army. The seal is for marksmanship, and the gorilla is for sand racing. Now if you’ll excuse me, they’re putting me in something called Hero Squad.
CHRISTMAS SPECIAL SEASON IS COMING
This is THE GREAT AK, MASTER WOODSMAN from my very favorite Rankin/Bass special, The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus. It was the last stop-motion one they made, and whenever ABC Family bothers to air it, it’s at 7am so nobody sees it. BUT IT IS SERIOUSLY GREAT and based on an L. Frank Baum book (he wrote the Oz books), so you should set your DVRs and watch it.
Coralinus would love love love to have little jumping mice friends and to never lose his people-parents and also to not have button eyes.
I made a Linus shirt for the baby!
The cats are still a little afraid of her, but Linus will rub against her if she’s being held, and he’s licked the top of her head a few times. I guess that means he’s accepted her.
It’s October! Costume time! Linus reeeeally hated being a mermaid.
Hugo’s face as he claws sideways circles around the ottoman. He’s got the weekend sauce. MY CATS ARE PERFECT.
We were just upstairs doing some baby stuff, and of course the cats were “helping” - Linus was playing with all the trash, then he stole the straw out of my water, and then.. stole my water. Watching him do this made me completely lose it. Like, tears and silent red-faced laughter. YOUR FACE, IT IS SO MUCH WIDER THAN THAT CUP! HOW DO YOU MANAGE?
