I'm raising a TV zombie.


Claire, this is why we aren't watching TV today:


Jimmy Jet And His TV Set
by Shel Silverstein

I'll tell you the story of Jimmy Jet --And you know what I tell you is true. He loved to watch his TV set- Almost as much as you.
He watched all day, he watched all nightTill he grew pale and lean, From "The Early Show" to "The Late Late Show" And all the shows between.
He watched till his eyes were frozen wide, And his bottom grew into his chair. And his chin turned into a tuning dial, And antennae grew out of his hair.
And his brains turned into TV tubes, And his face to a TV screen. And two knobs saying "VERT." and "HORIZ." Grew where his ears had been.
And he grew a plug that looked like a tailSo we plugged in little Jim. And now instead of him watching TV- We all sit around and watch him.

Ok so is this her face when you told her no tv or is this her expression when you interrupted her favorite show??? So cute!

Still the cutest picture!! Gwen saw your girls in sacrament meeting today and said "Look mom...there's my friends!!" I read about Claire and the leg pains in the night...Grace does the same thing. Guess Robbie did as a child too...his mom told me it was actual growing pains. Haven't checked with the doctor but maybe that's what's going on with her. If your not busy this week maybe we can have a playdate.
