Technical Issues

Apparently, letting the kids use the computer causes viruses. Our computer is TOTALLY out. We can't even get it fixed remotely. Thank goodness I just backed up all of our pictures and Christmas list on an external hard drive. That was perfect timing.

So, I will try to update the blog without pictures whenever I have access to Scott's computer for a few minutes.

Two little stories:

Right before bathtime last night, I saw Joe checking himself out in the mirror. He was wearing Scott's sunglasses and nothing else. I heard him say (to his reflection), "You are SO handsome." and later, "Hey, Joe, what are you doing? Just being handsome."

Yesterday, all four boys and I went to the post office. I had bribed all of them to be good with the promise of a treat afterward since our last visit was me yelling at them as they ran circles around the folks in line and hollered. They were being fairly good this time standing by the cabinets with all of the order forms. They had a trash receptacle that was inside of the cabinet with a hole on the side and a swinging door to close it - kind of like what all of the fast food restaurants used to have. Patrick was playing in it, and I told him to "Keep your hands out of the trash!" Not one minute later, I hear one of the workers ask, "Are you looking for Oscar?" I turn around to see Patrick with his entire head in the tiny trash hole. I was mortified. Several little old ladies in line started chuckling and one commented, "To be fair, you did tell him to keep his hands out."
