Mister Muhmelman
A few days ago we were listening to one of the music stations on the TV in the playroom (Throwback Jamz probably; there’s a bunch I scan through, though Classic Alternative is usually a good place to park it), and “People Everyday” came on. The kids often ask “What’s the name of this song? Who sings it? What’s the name of this song? What band is it? Who sings it?” Sometimes I tell them preemptively.
Me: This song is by Arrested Development.
(One minute passes as they continue playing…)
Will: Is Mister Muhmelman a bad guy?
It took me a few moments to realize that “Mister Muh-mel-man” was the crazy three year old interpretation/bastardization of “Arrested Development.”
(They are somewhat obsessed with bad guys who make bad choices as of late.)
And for the record, no, Mister Muhmelman is not a bad guy.
Do You Want to Be a Bobo?
One offhand comment around friends about a hobo and that quickly gets transofrmed by our kids into a “Bobo” (by way of “homo,” which was thankfully short-lived).
Queue several minutes of our kids and the neighbor kids asking each other if they want to be Bobos, followed by crazed laughter.
Naturally, we were curious what they thought they were laughing about.
Q: What’s a Bobo?
A: A boat that carries oranges and lemons.
Q: Okay… so, what do you call a boat that carries watermelons?
A: A carrier boat. (Duh.)
Summer Photo Deluge
So apparently I haven’t posted any non-Alaska photos from July onwards, so here are 109 photos from this summer. A quick recap…
We hit Remlinger Farms a couple times and picked blueberries (home and away):
We played in the pirate ship, pool and bounce house in our backyard:
We got new bikes and went swimming:
We had an early birthday party in California:
And we saw our family:
PJs, Beaches and Playgrounds
At long last, here is a set of 16 new photos of the boys.
Easter Photos
32 photos from our two Easter parties (with some extras thrown in) have been posted.
Photos: Flurry Fun
We got some fat flurries yesterday, so we bundled the boys up in their new boots, jackets and gloves and moseyed outside for a spell. A dozen photos have been posted for your viewing pleasure.
Birthday and Halloween Photos
33 new photos from Will and Andy’s birthday party and Halloween have been posted for your enjoyment.
July Photo Backlog
As usual I’m lazy, so here are 35 photos from July, including a trip to Happy Hollow with the grandparents, the boys munching on corn and the new and improved deck with water table.
Photos: Autumn Toddler Mayhem
The whole crew met up at Craven Farm on a cloudy October morning for pumpkins, tractors and birthdays. Also included is Will riding his bike and Andy vs. the wall last night (spoiler: the wall won).
Here is the full set of 20 photos, highlights below.
Singing About Car Crashes
So, there’s a song about a fish/octopus/tuna/shark/whale where each creature is eaten by the next biggest one. The kids are less obsessed about fish than they are about things the have wheels, so I modified the words a bit.
A motorcycle, a motorcycle, driving down the freeway
A motorcycle, a motorcycle
Crash, crash, crash
Oh No, it’s been smooshed by a
Mini-van…..
Garbage truck….
18 Wheeler….Honk Honk, Pardon me!
There’s also hand gestures. Morbid I know, but they love it.
Anyway, Auntie Jessie and Tori taught the boys knuckles which they’ve taken a liking to. This is what happens when the two collide in a post-dinner show.
