so when i was 12 or so, i loved the movie, war games. loved it.
and it was so absolutely absurd and unbelievable that you could play games with strangers on a computer somewhere else in the world.
totally science fiction.
that was only 21 years before gemma was born.

last night, like most nights, gemma played math games online. she played against kids in other places in the world. it is normal.
no big deal.
totally mainstream.
yet, it is mind blowing when i stop to think about it. what is the world going to look like in another (mere) 21 years?

today’s “stating the obvious” fact: mouth injuries bleed a lot.
(how cute are his fangs though? and people think gemma looks like a vampire kid…)

gemma went as Matilda for her school book week character day. and that slight smile is hiding her first ever wobbly tooth.
come on tooth fairy, we are ready.

clover finally has enough hair for a ponytail. a wispy, straggly, wish of a ponytail. i wonder how old she will be when she gets her first haircut.

kieran has found that he has pockets and like the littlest of tiny men, stands around with his fat baby hands shoved into them..

but at the end of the day, they are still all my babies.
we are just gearing up to enter the tooth fairy phase…bring it on!
they are crazy…thanks for asking.

kids wear things on their heads…right? cause all i can think about is the little boy from the movie “parenthood” who walks in circles with a bucket on his head, so um, please say your normal kids do this too.
oh and photo info…shot these with my new Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 lens. not bad.
why were my kids the only ones with paint in their hair? I am going to have to buy hooded art smocks.


thank you universe for this activity so that i do not have to do much “art” at home with them yet.
i forgot to take the D3 with me, so these phone shots are the best i could do…probably a good thing as the phone got a little “decoration” by the twins.
