123Magic

Today, Luca tried to use 123 Magic on Kyra by putting her on 1. For those of you not familiar with 123 Magic, it's a great way to get kids to stop misbehaving. Each number is a warning, and when they get to 3 there is ALWAYS a consequence.

At any rate, here's what Luca's attempt to use 123 Magic looked like:

luca@home: ~$ 123magic mama 1
Sorry, user luca is not allowed to execute '/usr/bin/123magic' as parent on home.

For those of you who do not use Linux, I apologize. Actually, I apologize to everyone for the joke. It's just bad.

Autumn Events in 2011

We've had quite a busy autumn! First, there was Luca's 3rd birthday, then apple picking, Halloween, a celebration of my first date with Kyra, and finally Thanksgiving at Dan's with our friends.

Here's a slide show and highlights:

We still have more Thanksgiving parties to attend this week, so there might be more photos to post.

Kyra insists that we put up the Christmas tree next weekend after Thanksgiving. I'm not sure I have the stomach for it, especially before my birthday! I'm already reeling from the Christmas music at the mall... Sheesh! If Thanksgiving hasn't passed yet, it's too early!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! May you be warm and have lots of good food!

A big thank-you to Cassie, Mike, and Zea at Primrose Community Farm, who share their wonderful farm food with us during the year. We enjoyed the potatoes, mashed, for our Thanksgiving party!
