"Only where children gather is there any real chance of fun." - Mignon McLaughlin

How can you not look at this picture and just laugh? Or even simply smile? This is my life every Tuesday from 8-4:30. I spend hours playing and laughing. Macyn is 4 and Nate (sadly not pictured due to taking a nap) just turned 2. Life on Tuesdays is nothing short of crazy and exciting.

Currently Macyn and Nate are sleeping on opposite couches. (and what a miracle that is - Macyn never sleeps!) As one inhales to snore, one is exhaling - precious.

Today we went on a camping trip. We made a "tent" on the coffee table which consisted of draping blankets and not letting any light in. First we would sleep, then WAKE UP, then sleep, then WAKE UP! it was quite an adventurous trip. As Nate was sticking his feet up in the air, Macyn (in her big, sisterly voice) would shout, "Nate no!!! If you keep doing that you'll get a spinter (which would be a splinter for the rest of us) and you will be deads!" Just like a big sister to always be watching out. Then it was time to get in the car (on top of the table "tent") and drive. I got confused along the way because when we made it "there", there was Jesus and Mickey Mouse AND Baby Jesus! What a trip!

sleeping so soundly...

... laughter is the best medicine ...

Over the past few months, DVR has become my new best friend. i don't know what i'll ever have to do if i have to get rid of it! i've realized that i now would rather not watch shows in real time (i even just like starting the show halfway through), it's much more fun to fast forward through commercials instead. a few days or so ago, i recorded "Women of SNL" - i finally made it through watching (most of it) and found myself remembering my favorite three skits... - such classics and a great cure for a bad day! (i couldn't find the videos on youtube but found them on NBC.com)

First there was the Spartan Cheerleaders - LOVE! (sorry that it's not the best quality)

Tina Fey as Sarah Palin is always a good time.

But my favorite would have to be Debbie Downer at Disney World. especially when everyone starts to loss it (at about 3:30) - i probably rewound and watched this 5 times!

Thank you SNL for many years of parodies and laughter!
