"You know what I just realized? Your name rhymes with hairy and scary. My name rhymes with Heaven. Wow, Mom and Dad sure did a good job naming us!"

Kevin went to Curriculum Night for his new middle school this past Monday. What'd he think?

"Well there were other kids and teachers and stuff, but Carrie! The trashcans weren't big enough for me to fit, so I won't get shoved down them! What a good sign."

"So you're planning on just standing there for the next four hours? I hope I'm not that lame when I'm in high school. Also this music is stupid and too loud."

All undeniable. The IB Ball failed to impress Kevin.

Kevin enjoys my new phone far more than I do, thanks in large part to Brick Breaker.

"Nooooo! What's happening? What the freak?! That's the cheapest thing ever! I hate this game!!! --- Just kidding. I'm actually doing fine. I just wanted to make some exciting commentary. Indestructible, that is my name!"

"Carrie! Carrie! We totally need to enter this contest from Canada Dry! You could win $10,000 and a baby!"

"...Er, what?"

"MONEY AND A BABY! I've always wanted that! ...Wait a second. That squiggly thing is a comma. Oh. Never mind. It actually says 'You could win $10,000, baby.'" *sighs in disappointment*

Kevs was really excited about the snow so he woke up super early Saturday morning. He couldn't find his sled, so he found a random piece of cardboard and slid up and down the street for a couple hours on that.

Of course, Mum nearly died of embarrassment, but man, that kid had a ball.

When I was little and Kevin was littler still [couldn't yet crawl], I used to amuse myself by setting him on top of a pile of blankets on the ground and jumping over him.
