A month ago I did a Music Monday post about Elvis Costello, and while he has had a lengthy solo career, his backing band for a long time was more than just a bunch of hired musicians, it was an actual band – The Attractions. They weren’t pulled together until Elvis Costello’s second album, though not…
A packed week full of… well, let’s jump into it. Tevye is starting to sit up on his own now. He’s five and a half months old, has two teeth and smiles a heck of a lot. Saturday saw another gymnastic competition for Déla. This time I got some video. Here’s her vault routine which…
The first Equestria Girls movie was a hit. Naturally a sequel was in order. But the question of whether or not it is any good…. WHO AM I KIDDING? It’s My Little Pony! Either you are on board with the franchise or you’re not, and frankly, if you’re not, then you most likely aren’t reading…
My kids have not laughed this hard in a long time. They also have not asked to watch more episodes of something that was “before their time” after being introduced to a Saturday morning show their dad used to watch. I grew up watching Saturday morning cartoons (using that term loosely to include live action…
I am in the shower when there’s a knock on the door. Laura has already gone to work and with time before the kids have to get to school I had a few minutes and was trying to put it to good use. Déla said something about Ciárán and while I didn’t catch everything she…

Sure,…
Jack Kirby created The Eternals after returning to Marvel after a stint at DC where he created the New Gods. The Eternals use similar themes about our perception of Earth in relation to the history of other beings that are more powerful than our reality. Unfortunately Both New Gods and Eternals were cancelled before Kirby…
Devo sent the link to this on twitter, so they obviously approve of its existence: It’s just a shame none of the newer stuff was performed. Still, a good set.
If you have been following me on Twitter you know how much we love Munchkin in my house. Heck I’ve even done a blog post with all the variations we have (which is already out of date since I’ve ordered more expansions). So when Munchkin Treasure Hunt was announced I was excited. My kids were excited….
Last weekend was crazy busy. Let’s jump into it, shall we? Friday (after I had posted the week’s photos) saw the penultimate cross country event. The Pumpkin Run, where kids run the mile course with the last stretch of the course lined with pumpkins. After the run kids get to pick a pumpkin to take home…
