sometimes the titles just don't come to me

I know it's Wednesday already, but I want to talk about my weekend. Friday, JQ and I attended a private breakfast with 100 of my colleagues and our loved ones, and celebrity Jamie Farr. The breakfast kicked off a year long celebration of the 150th anniversary of the college I work for. It was a nice intimate setting and Farr was quite entertaining. You can read JQ's version of the happenings here.

Is it just me or is Farr trying to hug Josh?

We also continued the process of child-proofing the house. Gideon is scooting around everywhere and having things safe for him imperative for my sanity. Oh, and his well being of course.

Mommy, can I make you a cocktail?

During a rousing game of "What's all this cool stuff in the closet?", Gideon and I discovered this fabulous 1950s style swim cap. He thought it was funny when I put it on my head. Not so much when I put it on his.

I don't like this.

Seriously, get it off now.

The three of us went to a quaint tapas restaurant I had been wanting to check out. It was yummy. We perused the bookstore and did a little shopping. It was a good weekend.

Oh I love Gideon's face with the swim cap on, hahaha! Also, he's starting a wee bit young with drinking. ;)

naynay—That's one of those pictures you get out when the girlfriend is around.

lynda—So pretty.

violet—I got that as a promotional piece from a paper manufacturing company. I can't say that I've ever worn it swimming.

kym—Thanks! I love that little redheaded monkey. I could just eat him up.

That DOES sound like a fun weekend. Wish I had a swim cap like that. I'd wear it a lot.

It's not that Jamie Farr is apparently giving him a hug that worries me... I think he could have been trying to cop a butt-feel and that is NOT cool, Mr. Farr! Bad, Bad Klinger! I hope someone spritzed him with a water bottle and firmly told him NO. :)

What a great smile your son is displaying. I just figured something out about you and JQ. Duh Monkey Boy, duh.

egan—That's okay Monkey Boy, parenting does that to you.

egan said...

Thankfully the pictures on the two sites tipped me off. I'm really smart like that.
