The Time Is Here
So we are sitting at the hospital waiting for the blessed moment. Rebecca is plugged into the machines and we have a heartbeat of 137. More to follow.

The Kids Said…
Caroline noticed a most unflattering mole on my arm. Black hair grows out of it which grosses me out so I try to keep it trimmed but obviously had slacked in the grooming department on this particular day.
Caroline (with a note of mild horror in her voice): “You have an eyelash growing on your arm?!”
***
Me: “Want to go to Grandma’s?”
Spencer (excitedly, pumping both fists in the air): “YEAH!”
Me (matching his enthusiasm): “When we get there, are you going to say, ‘I love you Grandma!’?”
Spencer (pausing for a moment and suddenly getting very serious): “Actually…I’m going to play with cars.”

Spencer, Caroline, and I were walking into a store. In the parking lot Spencer suddenly stopped, backtracked about five paces, and picked up a rock.
Spencer: “Caroline! It’s a rock! I found a rock! It’s totally a rock, Caroline!”
(You probably had to be there for that one. The “totally” part is what got me.)

Caroline had to be sedated for some dental work. I told her they would give her something to make her fall asleep and they’d fix her teeth while she was sleeping. While we were waiting for the dentist, she was lying down looking tired.
Me: “Are you going to go to sleep right now?”
Caroline: “You mean without even a sleeping spell?”
***
Me: “Caroline, would you like more apples?”
Caroline (carefully considering this offer): “I’m happy to report…I want a grapefruit.”

We were at my mom and dad’s house. Spencer and Caroline were in the basement watchingAlice in Wonderland. My mom and I heard Spencer coming up the stairs mumbling to himself, “That was the stupidest tea party ever.”

Another Stop Motion
Brooke really wanted to make a second video today. She insists on the Pony music.

Brooke’s First Stop Motion
Today I showed Brooke how stop motion animations work. I set her up with the camera and computer and helped her make this video and she set to work. I only lasted about 120 frames of hitting the record button before I let Brooke take over the rest for the total of 345 frames. She was at it for about 1 1/2 – 2 hours before she was ready to end the story and she wasn’t even done filming because she now wants to make another one. She’s very proud of her creation. You can see at the end that she is getting the hang of how it works.

Animated Gif Time!
May animated gifs never die as long as we find it as entertaining as this. Note: It’s a large file so give it a moment.
