'All the single ladies...'

...better watch out. Merrick has some pretty hot dance moves. Haha. ;)

The *Not-So* Itsy Bitsy Spider

There are lots of things I expect to happen after church on Sunday afternoons. For example: saying goodbye to everyone in the front yard, keeping Merrick out of Rt. 636 and out from under various pews, going out to lunch, hanging out with the kids, etc. Seeing a spider left over from when dinosaurs roamed the earth? Not so much. A collective girly scream went up (from males and females alike) when we spotted this monster on the sidewalk in front of CBC. He was...gross. But in one of those "I can't stop looking at it, and somebody take a picture" kinda ways. :)

Merrick the Friendly Ghost

We recorded these videos last night. Merrick put the sweatshirt on his head himself the first time...and ran smack into Billy's dresser *although I only got the smacking into the dresser part :)*. The second video we put it on his head...because we are wonderful parents who encourage running into furniture. ;) Haha.

Just say no...

...to turkey. We went out to Panera for dinner tonight. Merrick ate part of a whole grain baguette, some soup, some chips...but put his foot down when I offered him some turkey from my sandwich. He threw it *accidentally* onto the top of his head in the process of trying NOT to eat it. :)

The *Sort-Of* Blizzard of '09

Here are some pictures from our *Snow Day* yesterday! :) Hope you got to enjoy it also!
