Oh, my parents have taken up your (and Drew's) habit of taunting me from Disneyland. The parents got there today, and Mom has been merrily sending me photos with her iPhone.
I don't taunt! I reach out with love to say that the HM is missing you! (And that I miss being in the Haunted Mansion with you, truth be told.)
...
...
...When are you coming to visit again? MISS YOU.
The line, "I've got magic, alakazzam a kazoom" is stuck in my head. I have no idea what it's from. Some TV show? Anybody know, and can link me to the rest of the song? Please? This is driving me nuts.
Hap Palmer's "Witches Brew". Now I have to google to find out who Hap Palmer is.
Congratulations, Gris! (Also, from everything you've said in the past about this woman and this relationship, I am totally unsurprised. Delighted, but unsurprised. It's seemed like exactly where you were both headed for a while.)
Earlier today Matilda was all about being Raven (apparently I'm supposed to be Starfire), but we went to a local shop a little while ago and she was overjoyed to get a purple flower fairy outfit. And put it on as soon as we got home (she had to be dissuaded from putting it on in the middle of the bookstore, where they were trying to set up for an author reading/signing). Now our couch is covered with fairy skirt glitter.
Other recent Matilda stuff: She's been refusing to do any number of big-girl things (zipping her PJs, pulling up her diaper, using utensils) with the sorrowful excuse, "I can't do it. I'm a kitty. I got kitty paws." Last night we went out to Kezar to throw around the Nerf football, and she wanted me to throw the football. I said sorrowfully, "I can't do it. I'm a puppy. I got puppy paws."
"Oh, Mommy, you can do it," she said. "You got puppy
hands
."
She's also started pep-talking me with "You can do it! You're a mommy!"
Possible cereal: Oh, Kristin, those look so elegant! LOVE.

Kitty Paws has been used since Hec told it to us so much that it is practically a sponsor of our vacation. HA! Your daughter, I could eat her up with a spoon.
Oh, I have some pictures up. [link]
Now I (sort of) know who Hap Palmer is.

The recording in the background of this video is definitely the one that I remember: [link] Now I've got to google Hap Palmer too, to figure out why I know this song.
