We haven't seen the new Cars movie, but the boys found these on disneyjunior.com and have now watched them so much they are burned into their brains. Forever. I know this because I find them all over the house staging lively "replays" of the action. And because giggles and squeals like the ones these shows elicit are the real deal.
They're funny tho. You won't be sorry to spend 15 minutes on them. Especially Tokyo Mater. Pleeeease watch Tokyo Mater.
As for our move (and a few other things) I'm just not ready to blog about them yet. Not necessarily too painful or anything, just too much for me to synthesize.
I thought I'd come out of semi-retirement by posting these videos, but ten minutes after I started this post I got a heartfelt email from Matt's sister, Rachel, asking Natalie and me to please please update our blogs because she and Stephen love their nephews too much to bear any more blog silence. So, with that in mind (and let me tell you how sweet it was to receive such an email) here are the boys on the "slippy slide" (Nico's pronunciation).
Here's a sample of Benjamin's hair when dry. Such enviable curls! By the way, he spent 10 minutes with that bag of cereal. Throwing it. Mashing it. Hugging it. Dog piling on it. All while smiling like this. Totally worth the "investment"! The honey nut O's held up very nicely and were still totally edible. That's my mom advice for this post. Bags of cereal. You're welcome!
