Zoe quote of the day:

2011-12-06T22:42:00.001-08:00

Z: There are 3 words that sound alike: right: like your foot or hand, wright like what you do with a crayon and right like you get something right. Me: Yes, very true. There's a word to describe that; when words sound the same but have different meanings, I can't remember what it's called. Zoe: Confusing.

Ahhhhh, the warmth of the yule log (or is it the plasma?)

The Who Crew screams to Horton

2011-08-13T20:55:00.000-07:00

This year our family vacation was at this AWESOME family camp for LGBT Families called "Camp It Up!". All three of us had an amazing time! Zoe Each year at Camp there is a theme for the week... This year was Dr Seuss. Zoe's counselor group (4 and 5 year olds) were called "The Who Crew". At one point during the week, we were told that all of us at camp were on a spec of dust, like in Horton Hears a Who. And that in order to save the same, we had to scream loudly so Horton could hear us. So each of the kids counseling groups took turns shouting to Horton. Below is a video of The Who Crew. Zoe is the pink hair little one on the right. Vera and I were on a day hike near by and could hear them screaming but did not get to see what was going on. I was so bummed to have missed it. This video was taken by Tess Karesky who graciously shared it with me!! Thank you Tess!

Partied out 5 year old.

Our Tahoe trip that wasn't

2011-03-19T11:52:00.001-07:00

We didn't even make it up Donnor Pass. We caught caught in the backlog behind the multipe spin out crashed on 80E. We sait in one spot for over 3 hours. Finally inched our way to an exit, turned around to head back down and found there were accidents on 80W. So we pulled off at an exit where there was a small restaurant and waitied over an hour to get served dinner. while waiting the power went out. finally back up generators kicked in. Finally ate dinner by 10 PM. The waitress brought some pillows for Zoe and she fell asleep on the floor with Vera's jacket for a banket. By that point they were saying that 80 would not open back up until mornng and at all vehicles required chains. We had rented a 4x4 but no chains. So we started looking for hotels in the foot hills. everything was booked all they way to Rocklin. So we made the drive back home. Left the house at 12:30 pm and arrived back at 2 am. We were at the restaurant close to 2.5 hours. Which means we spent close to 12 hours in the car. We're glad and relieved that we got home safely but disapointed that our family weekend away didn't work out as we planned.

Growing up in Michigan, I only saw these 2x4 tree stands on the Charlie Brown Christmas special and thought it was just a Peanuts cartoon thing...Now that I live in the SF Bay area where Charles Schultz lived, it tickles me every year when I get my very own tree with a 2x4 tree stand!

She stealthily stripped off all her clothes, put on just the poncho and let her self out side. I had no idea where she was. I looked all over the house for her... when I finally found her in the back yard, I found her like this. "Wadaya doing?", I ask. She replies, "I'm making the dirt good as new."

I finally made it to Hogwarts!!
