...so "katherine" from "the english patient" is here in america, in new york and on broadway. she's amazing. see for yourself; the clip takes a bit to load, so be patient. the interviewer is a dim-wit and her comments are lame. KST deserved more.

"...i got a bookish look...and you all hot fo' teacha'!"

*summer fun, revisited*

*caden sings*

caden is a quick study. he credits his sister for teaching him this special song.

*over it*

be gone, summer, we're ready for fall!

the kids have halloween costumes, and the candy fest hasn't even started yet, but they're crazy like their bodies are full of sugar. i shudder at the thought of what the week before the 31st might look like. is there any way to avoid this madness?

my princess wanted to be hannah montana this year. i just couldn't do it! i told her that a princess is just as beautiful, but she didn't buy it for the longest time. i finally just said i didn't think it was an appropriate costume...for the weather. for some reason, being warm meant more to her than being hannah montana. thank goodness for small favors.

caden will be an heroic firefighter, all warm and toasty in his uniform. no arguments here.

Tina as Sarah

...just funny!
