Thomas and the Beach Boys

I realize after a long absence, I'm doing a flurry of posts here, but it's mostly because we bought a new camera and then couldn't find it, used the old camera to film a few things, then couldn't find that camera, then used another old camera before finding the very newest camera which had some REALLY old stuff on it and only recently locating the newer, but still old camera. It's been a camera circus! Spam!

Anyway, I took this video at Thomas's kindergarten field day where they had prepared a dance in gym class to a Beach Boy's song. Note that the video cuts out in the middle because my new old camera had a very limited battery life, not because the randomly synchronized jiggling on the part of the kindergarteners is not absolutely adorable. :)

Spam Spam Spam Spam!

Dad, this is for you. Sethie extols the virtues of spam and even does a spam dance:

Mr. Monk and the Case of the Impressionable Children

It's entirely possible that my addiction to murder mysterites is beginning to adversely affect the kids.

The actual Monk theme song. Note that Sethie's "interpretation" starts about a third into the song.

The other day, Thomas noticed a small speck of green paint on the carpet upstairs. He said, "Mommy, look! Green paint! Like it came off someone's shoe!"

I said, "Hmmm. We'd better be careful what we track in here."

He said, "Oh no, Mommy. I think it's a clue!"

I said, "A clue? To what?"

He said, "A murder."
