Fast Turtle earns a medal at the end of gymnastics. He was very proud-as were we all!

Best Valentine’s present ever…

A little couch-snuggling, TV-watching, chocolate milk-drinking, early morning brother-sister time.

Fast Turtle’s drawing of his school…

My mom just pulled these out of her box of Hallowe’en decorations: now this is cultural heritage worthy of being passed down through the generations…
Baby Bug: What’s the opposite of pretty?
Fast Turtle: Ugly!
Baby Bug: What’s the opposite of a star?
Fast Turtle: The sun!
Baby Bug: What’s the opposite of a spoon?
Fast Turtle: A knife and fork. No-wait! A spork!
Baby Bug: What’s the opposite of a octopus?
Fast Turtle: A squid!
Baby Bug: What’s the opposite of silly?
Fast Turtle: Boring!
After this exchange, I didn’t have the heart to explain opposites to them…but I did tell them that the opposite of a star is a black hole. I’m either the coolest mom ever or I’ve just totally screwed their science aptitude for life.
