Making an Appearance Again...

Yes folks, it's the Mickey cake. Because as we all know, today the Mouse turns 80. He hides his age well, don't ya say? Mickey made his debut in 1928 as the memorable black-and-white mouse in Steamboat Willie. (I'm always learning interesting Disney facts from Tyson.) All I know is that he sure tastes good!

Plans for tonight:
Eat the cake. (Some of it at least. We will have leftovers, so feel free to stop by!)
Watch Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. Totally awesome, dude.

And here's our mini-Mozart at the piano.

(Sidenote: We recently watched Amadeus and I realized that most geniuses of their trade acquired greatness at a significant personal cost....)

Turning to the Dark Side

Anyone who knows Tyson knows that he loves Star Wars. I'm not a big fan. (Although I have watched all 6 movies, more than once!) And I don't like this mask, but Grant has taken a liking to it. When I see these pictures, I can hear that distinct breathing. How do you write it? Khoh-kaaah...khoh-kaaah. Creepy!






He's much cuter than the real Vader.

Where's the Ice Cream?

This morning I brought Grant into our bed to snuggle for a few minutes before we got up. Tyson was awake, or so I thought. He talked a little to Grant and then had him lay down between us. Then there was a long pause and then he asked Grant, "Where's the ice cream?" I looked around the dark room and remained confused. Maybe he had played a game with Grant before about ice cream? He didn't say anything else, so I asked Tyson what he was talking about. He said, "I thought we were watching Baby Einstein." Uhhhhh. Yeah, he's not actually awake yet. He was pretty confused for a minute. Then I started laughing and Grant sat up and laughed at me laughing. Maybe this doesn't sound funny to anyone else, but it was great to start the day out laughing! I needed it.
