QT: 8.14

Hey-O! It's Friday! I love Fridays. Kelly's place is hosting the 7QT Party like always and I love a good party. Especially one that I don't have to leave the house for. :)

one. It is August 14. A pretty good day. But even better when it's your anniversary!

Spring 2006. 

A previously unreleased picture of our vows, 5 years ago today.

Happy Anniversary Husband!! I really kind of can't believe it's been five years already but it's true. Kind of the best gig ever if you ask me. I'm still glad I married you!

two. We started watching Breaking Bad. I don't get what all the hype is about. Honestly, Jesse and Walt are the most sympathetic characters. Maybe that's the point? Not all drug manufacturers are bad people just ones who have made difficult choices? But what I don't really get at all is Walt's family. I kind of really hate Skylar. First she forces her husband to get treatment even though he doesn't want to and then she just tries to make it all about her. Walter Jr. I don't mind. But Hank and Marie are horrible. And while it's admirable to want to take care of your loved ones, I don't really love his loved ones so the whole plot seems an unnecessary risk to me. I mean we are only like 8 episodes in but I'm not really grooving on it.

three. So... have you seen the story about the Frozen/Tarzan connection? They claim that Anna and Elsa's parents in Frozen, didn't die in the shipwreck but instead made it ashore and built a tree house with their infant son. After they were killed by a leopard, their son was raised by gorillas. 

First off, do we really think that the king and queen who don't understand the message the trolls give to them about their daughter's powers and do the exact opposite are talented enough to make a super cool tree house? 

Second, the entire premise is based on them having a son out at sea. But in Tarzan's tree house they clearly have a photograph of the three of them. Are we supposed to believe that they had a camera for a posed picture on board the ship? 

Highly suspect. Though the timeline of both stories could be possible. 

four. The internet is a scary place full of horror stories and misinformation. I simply went to search on when correct hand grip is formed and I have ranges from (At 3) C is probably never going to write correctly and should be in OT to somewhere around 6 or 7 the correct hold is fully formed and if stressed too early can damage their hand. 

Yeah. Super helpful. C hasn't even picked his dominate hand yet. I think he's leaning towards left, like me. (National Left Hander's Day was yesterday.) But he still switches often. 

This is a real problem. 

five. Pretty much hearing M say "Hi Mama" is my favorite thing. She doesn't say it all the time or anything. But when she does... it's gold. 

six. Reading Rainbow is on Netflix and we're all digging it. I bought C Reading Rainbow DVDs before he was born because I wanted him to love reading so much. He does love Reading Rainbow and so having more episodes is just dandy. Hearing him sing the theme song is about as golden as the "Hi Mama" above. 

seven. My preschool letter next week is Y. Anyone have any great word or book recommendations for preschoolers learning the letter Y? 

Okay. So I will be linking up with Kelly. Have a terrific weekend!
