Out of the mouths of babes

It was a kid-filled weekend here at the Slav household. Friday night we helped chaperone a birthday party at the movies (Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events was surprisingly boring). Here's a picture of one of the boys mercilessly abusing the inflatable snowman in the front yard. Please allow me to take this opportunity to say that, as a country, I think we need to rethink this whole inflatable holiday cheer kick we're currently on.

Saturday night we drove to Waxahachie to celebrate the birthday of a high school friend. His niece was also visiting, and here she is pictured with their dachshund puppy, Harley. Yes, her t-shirt says "Social Butterfly." Yes, her necklace is made out of candy. Yes, my camera lens almost shattered from the cuteness. Too bad it didn't; it would have been the perfect opportunity to buy that digital SLR I've been wanting.

Sunday was the Christmas pageant at the Unitarian Universalist church we've begun attending here in Dallas. The whole thing made me very weepy in a Linus recitation in A Charlie Brown Christmas sort of way. The pageant was very realistic since there was a real, live baby Jesus who objected to the singing and screamed his head off for most of the play. Good times!
