When the offspring implored me to start a blog, it took forever. Then, once we got everything set up, school started and homework took precedence over computer free time. But the Christmas break is fast approaching so there may be a chink in the dark shroud of "have-to's", "shoulds", and "I need it for tomorrow's".
What have we been "humming" about? Halloween costumes-Ghostbusters X 2, for one. They turned out really well and were a hit as the offspring and a friend went trick-or-treating. But that seems so "yesterday".
How about feeding a black rhino? What do you feed a rhino? I'm sure anything he wants, but we gave him sliced apples. Yes, there were bars between us.
Once again the offspring will be having a solo for the Christmas program. He is just fearless! He certainly didn't get his confidence from me! Such a clear voice. Too bad that his peer group does not think singing is cool. But as I told him, gifts like that are not to be hidden. With Christmas music filling the air, he is in heaven. We joke that he is a lounge singer in disguise because he can sure sing variation after variation. When he gets sufficiently skilled on that clarinet, I see jazz band in his future!
And that offspring is finally growing. His knee went through the PJs so I better get sewing!
