Oh, my daughter isn’t the only kid with mad art skills. Check out this creation of my eldest son, DARTH PENGUIN.
Etch A Sketch Goodness
When I was a kid, I loved dialing around and making lines, but that’s as far as it went. I don’t think I ever managed to make any interesting pictures.
My daughter, however, is a different story.

The Secret Lair Of Doctor Doom…
…as constructed by my daughter.
I believe Dr. Doom is attempting to reanimate the skeleton.

Sunset Clouds And A Partial Rainbow
Last Thursday was a strange mix of rain and sunshine.
I was outside playing with the kids in the front yard during the sunset, and it started raining. The clouds were big and colorful. I was hoping a rainbow would materialize (the kids had only seen one real life rainbow), and for about ten minutes we had one.
Yes, I took pictures!

File This Under Something I Would Like To Do With My Children
I was riding my bike on the Salt Creek trail today and saw a father and his daughter in a kayak paddling downstream.
What a lovely time. I need to do this with my kids.

Smell My Butt, Yes You Do
So, I asked my 3 year old boy if I could record his song. He enthusiastically agreed. Please bear in mind that you are missing a visual component of the song — what he calls the “Stinky Dance”, which is basically him pulling his pants down and shaking his butt at you.
Without further ado, please enjoy Smell My Butt, Yes You Do:
My 3 Year Old’s Song
Smell my butt!

Smell my butt!

Yes, My Daughter Is Awesome, Thanks For Asking
Here’s a little tableau created by my five-year old daughter last night.
It’s the Joker piloting the Scooby Mystery boat, which consists of an exercise mat and a tambourine.
