Saltines and Rudolph

I ate saltines for dinner last night. I've had some kind of stomach bother going on this week. Blegh. I'm thinking maybe I should give up dairy for awhile and see what happens. Anyway...despite my meal of saltines last night was delightful. I was all excited about watching Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. We were getting ready, listening to the John Prine Christmas album, and I sent Ernie upstairs to see if Leo would come down and watch Rudolph with us. And.....Leo....said.....YES. You could have knocked me over with a feather, a delighted, happy, adoring feather!

Of course we all talked through it which made Leo crazy. I pointed out that Santa was really a bit of a dick. Leo, said, "MOommmm" while Owen shouted that Santa was racist. I pointed out that he was really nosist. Leo said you can NOT just add -ist to a world like that. I said you could. Leo told everybody to be quiet, that this is why he doesn't watch shows with us. He had a bit of a smile though.

It was a wonderful evening.

I love those boys.

In other news Rascal has gotten even higher in the tree. You can't really pull him out or you'll pull of the ornaments, etc. Instead Ernie shot a spray of Febreze toward him and he dropped like a stone.

Ahhh...family life.
