Oh, I have missed the brilliance that is the best show on TV. Check out this little video...to music....so turn the volume down if you're at work. It's Nelly singing and we all know what that means.
The video is hilarious with lots of great highlights...the best being, of course....the Pam and Jim kiss that started it all.

The Circus
OK, so I'm sure this will be a controversial post, but I'm putting it out there, anyway. I've always battled with the decision as to whether or not to take Carter to the circus. We did so once....years ago when he was around 2 years old....and have never been back since. Nothing tragic happened.....but we waited for him to show a big interest in it and he has not, so we've not suggested it.
He's gone since then with family and loved it and of course, we had no objections. The only reason why I've questioned taking him again is the uncomfortable feeling I get while being there. I couldn't concentrate on the fun....could only focus on what life these animals are provided beyond getting in and out of cages to perform for us.
So, I ran across this article from one of the blogs I read and thought it was an intersting prospective. I don't agree with all of it....and it mentions zoos, which summons even more questions as to whether or not they're fair to animals. I'm not on opposed to zoos. From what I understand, the animals are treated fairly and provided an environment very much like what they would be exposed to in the wild. So, in my mind, zoos pass the test. Circuses, I'm still on the fence about.
There is a video, too, included in this article and I should warn you before you view it because it's pretty sad. The article itself is safe.
If I'm missing something in this personal debate, let me know, either in the comments section or via email. I'd love to know your opinions.

Amazing Jake's
What a small world we live in. We went to Amazing Jake's a couple of weeks ago in Aurora, CO with Paeton and friends to celebrate his birthday. In viewing the website, I learned that they are building one in Plano, TX as I write. Now, that is amazing!
It's an enormous building filled with all things loved by 7 year old boys. Amusement park rides, skee-ball, video games, putt putt golf, go carts, lazer tag, bumper cars....I could go on and on. Check it out, Texans, once it opens. You won't be sorry. Especially if 1/3 of your vocabulary consists of the word, "Dude."
The boys.
Jack trying to be a big boy.
The boys climbing the rock wall.
Bumper cars.
Jack racing through the golf course.
Choo choos!!!! These are not actually trains, but they look like trains and Jack was none the wiser.
They rode this one over and over again.
Jack in the toddler area.
Choo choo!!!!!!
Sweet Carter took Jack on this one. Love his enthusiasm.
Look at that smile....totally worth it once he saw that.
Again!
Sweet Paeton took Jack on the train, too.
Time for dessert.

Big Brother
Jack is becoming a big boy and wanting to help with Lainey....occasionally, he'll grab her bottle and feed her.
