Tonight is the Night
Hale’s big boy bed is next to Owen’s
Please God, let this go well.

Reposting Sam S. --indeed!
I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire evening. What a waste.
Advice, Please
Hale, AKA Hale the Giant, has outgrown his bassinet that was supposed to last him at least six months. It’s in perfect condition.
Would you EBay it or Craig’s List it? I’ve never tried Craig’s List. I don’t want to ship it any where or disassemble it. What would you do?
Moving Day
This is the day (I think) that Hale moves in with Owen. Once again, we have a nursery. Hope it goes well.
Happy three months
It’s been a very happy three months with Baby Hale.
He’s three-months-old and wearing nine-months-old clothing. Talk about a big bouncing boy.

Great pie, Faux News!
Happy Thanksgiving, all.
In-law Humor
I have one item of clothing that has animal print - a pair of shoes and no one can see the print unless the shoes are off. I feel animal prints are for more mature ladies.
So today when Hale spit up on my blouse and my mother-in-law went to get a top to lend, she and Jeremy chose a LOUD leopard print pullover.
Hardy, har, har!
Thanksgiving Cheat Sheet →
Just in case your Republican friends and relatives repeat any Limbaugh, Beck or Palin propaganda over Thanksgiving dinner - the Democratic “cheat sheet” has the facts. Enjoy!
Jedi Games
In the boys’ room. Jiee and Thiig (Owen’s Jedi names for him and Hale) are at a construction paper rave, dancing to MC Hammer tunes performed by J.
“Make new friends, but keep the old.
One is silver, the other is gold.
A circle...”
– Our Thanksgiving song at Lucy’s house today.
Sorry
To brother and sister-in-law, aunt and uncle, grandparents-in-law.
Didn’t find anything for you at Montgomery St. Antiques.
Did however find something for me.
“Mama didn’t vote for a llama, Mama voted for Obama!”
– Owen reciting lines from his great book “Mama Voted for Obama”.
Thanks, Miss Dorie.
Bad Day
It began well enough, with a very happy Owen on Thanksgiving break but the good times ended with Owen interrupting my shower saying “Baby needs a band-aid, he’s crying.” O said he doesn’t want this baby here anymore and he wants a girl baby.
O hurt the baby today and broke my heart.
Hale is fine and I’m the one that’s still upset. Owen is a better child than...

“Daddy’s vacation is after work!
I have an activity!
It’s wake up...”
– Today’s bouncing, white-headed morning wake up call
Marathon Plotting
All set for a 4-5 hour strategy session. Whew, I’m tired already.
It's the Magic Number
Senate Democrats have the sixty votes needed for filibuster-proof majority on healthcare tonight. Http://www.cnn.com
Confession...
Hi, my name is Kathleen, I’m 30 (something) and I am going to see “Twilight”. And for the record, I’m on Team Bill!
Party Time
My boys and I are off to the Mid-Cities Democrats Birthday Bash.
Happy four amazing years to the biggest and best grassroots political action committee in Tarrant County, Texas.
New Songs?
Hale is equally tired of The Jesus and Mary Chain and New Order.
What songs do you sing to your kids?
Reunited On FB
Talking politics with three fellas from elementary school.
How strange.
“6 + duck = 8”
– Owen’s morning algebra
(Duck is 2)
Finally
Jeremy finally weighs more than me again.
About time.
Precious, precious children just say "no" to... →
“The Daily Show’s” John Oliver and Sarah Palin’s new book.
“You are always so mean to me!
You can’t come to my birthday party!”
– Owen talking back to Daddy about who knows what in the next room.
(The birthday party bit is the ultimate threat at O’s school.)
Roof Repair
Neighbors say don’t use their roofer. Any recommendations?
Thank you, Internets!
Costco Card found.

In need of a Costco Card holding member. Stat!

O's Girlfriend Update
We met Owen’s girlfriend Emma last night. We went up to school for his book fair and Owen said, “Emma’s here!” I ran over and met her. She’d adorable. No wonder Owen likes her.
And on the same subject, I should mention that I asked Owen if Emma kisses him and he said yes. I asked him, “What do you say?” He said he says, “Yea!”
“Where? Where did you hide them? Where? Where did you hide them?”
– Owen accidentally saw gifts I brought home from Toy Joy.
I do believe I’m doomed to hear that until Christmas.

Andy Rooney's Citizenship Test →
Can you answer all four of his questions?
I didn’t know the one about football. Guess I have to “get out”. Ha!

Almost Home
Czech Stop-ped, Fossil Outlet browsed with moderate drooling over two bags and baby fed (again, again, again).
Oh Austin
Waved to UT, ducked into Toy Joy, diaper run at Wheatsville with brief cool kid watching, blew a kiss to Kim Phung and off to lunch at Chuy’s. (sigh)
No Parking
Apparently “carpool” wasn’t taught in law school!
Esquire
I’m in Austin today to support my girlfriend Rachel, who’s being sworn in as one of Texas’ newest attorneys. How exciting.
Great Day!
Very productive and fun highway cleanup in the morning.
Lunch with friends and their lovely children at midday.
Worked at church extravaganza in the afternoon, coming home with two Southwest Airline tickets to anywhere they fly!
Family time with Johnsons this evening. What a great day.
It's a Deal!
K: Where should we go with these airplane tickets?
J: You go to New York to see LaShika with Hale and I'll take Owen to Comic Con in San Diego with your brother.
K: It's a deal!
Off to Screening Liberally
“Men Who Stare at Goats” at the Southlake Harkins Theatre, 7:40 p.m. Join Us.
I do!
Teasing girlfriend that she reads People Magazine. Asked if she liked trash TV like “Vampire Diaries” and other teen shows. “I don’t do vampires” she said.
I do! Just got our free tickets to the new Twilight movie. Free is the best price!
Locked Out
CGS Democrats, Reposado’s is closed by landlord management. We’re meeting at the Italian restaurant next door. Bad luck with meeting locales!
Not Ready!
Owen asked to see the dentist by himself. I’m totally uncomfortable out here in the waiting room. I’m not ready for him to be so grown up.
Thank you, Veterans.
I’m thankful for our veterans, including my grandfathers, uncles and father.
