Don't get all excited about Bastian's haircut....we're having serious remorse over cutting the locks. Hopefully it doesn't take another two years to grow it all out into a tangled mess again.

Well, Betsy was here over the weekend and it's always tough to see her go. She belongs her and it's like she takes her part every time she leaves. I know it's hard for Rob. They need each other. Can't wait til she's here permanently.

Well, I decided to wear Bastian's pants while he was modeling his new hair do and then this morning we went on a hike. I was accepted to law school again and this time I'm going....but as Grandma Barry said, "I'll believe it when I see it."

B just asked when we'll be coming around again....I'm not sure yet. I'll keep ya posted B. I'd love to be hanging around torturing you. It sounds like good times.

Well, today we went into "town". I dislike, very strongly, going into town. It's always to spend money and time on things that we can't seem to do without. I suppose I do like eating though, and really, it's all we buy. Food.

There's this giant spider that keeps roaming around by my lamp that is approximately two feet from my mouth. I don't want to eat that guy tonight. I heard somewhere that the average person eats 8 spiders in their lifetime while sleeping. That doesn't seem like a lot to me. In fact, since I've been sleeping on the floor, I think I've probably eaten that many every year. But still, I don't want that big juicy one crunching in between my teeth tonight. I wonder if Uncle Jim has ever seen anything like that in all his years of looking into mouths....mmmm, hairy spider guts.

Bastian's morning:
Wake's up and plays with his trucks that are next to his crib until his lazy parents decide to get up and see him (5 minutes)
Sits with mom and reads some books while dad makes him some pancakes
He eats his pancake while watching a Baby Einstein video (which he loves)
Comes in the kitchen and watches dad make some eggs on the wood burning stove
Burns his hand and cries for ten minutes
Goes in his room because he's pissed off and plays with Thomas (his favorite toy)
Eats the rest of his pancake
Comes out of his room with a spray bottle and squirts mom and the computer one too many times and ends up in time out
Plays with his trains and trucks until he decides to come out again with his fork in his hand and making stabbing motions at dad.
Goes with dad to the bathroom and watches him poop
We march into the kitchen and coax mom into joining us as we do the lazy man's march
He gets ready to go on his daily hike

I've been doing this thing recently on Flickr where you take a picture everyday, but it has to include some part or all of your body. The group is called 365 (one a day for a year). I know I've posted the link before, but if you want to see some pics (possibly of Bastian) then check it out:
