Two nights ago a very strange thing happened. L&L discovered a TV show they were mesmerized by: the Lawrence Welk Show. I am not even entirely sure how that show came to be broadcast into our living room. I only know that I had 2 wild hooligans running around with soccer balls one minute and 2 statues staring open-mouthed at the screen the next. They both were entranced as the orange-frocked ladies crooned a love song for the camera as pairs of happy octogenarians swished about the dance floor. Then L&L began to dance. Laney does a little side-to-side move and Liam looks more like he is marching, but they were dancing to Lawrence Welk! On purpose! Patrick and I took this all in from the kitchen, and the more they danced, the more we laughed because this stuff wasn't even cool when we were kids.
I had just put dinner on the table, and usually we turn the TV off for family dinner, but tonight I made an exception. The LWS is hardly even TV, it's more of a bizarre time-capsule-esque music video. Each time a song came on Liam would tell us it was "really pretty." Laney thought the music was "fun" and begged us to let her keep watching. So we did. We had family dinner with a Lawrence Welk soundtrack. Not as bad as I thought it would be. Thanks for a memorable dinner L.W.!

Liam vs. Mommy
As part of Liam's continued campaign to remain the second and last in our family, this morning's daily tantrum resulted in 10 minutes of laying prostrate on my bathroom floor screaming to the heavens. The reason? I told him that blush was only for girls and that I wasn't going to let him wear any today.
Sigh.
When will this reign of terror end?
