Shit/storm

Another load of snow is scheduled to fall today, making this an official 5-day weekend for Iain. God bless ya, county school administrators!

Look at my little fat baby! Who doesn’t love a fat baby? I know I do. I made him this little T-shirt so he could remind me to laugh when I’m changing his diaper at two o’clock in the morning. Speaking of diapers, Owen seems to be on the installment plan with his stinky ones. Instead of delivering it all at once, like he used to, he’s distributing them a little bit at a time all morning. How … thoughtful.

So this was a pretty good weekend. Iain hasn’t had school since Wednesday; Thursday and Friday we spent holed up, for the most part. And there was a Very Special 2-Hour AFV on Friday night: Bonus. Saturday we took the baby to Borders so Iain could spend his birthday money on boring science books and one really good book by Bill Bryson [The Lost Continent]. I bought my two riot-grrrl mags and we spent the rest of the sunny day in the back room, reading and taking turns holding the baby. Yesterday, as you know, was the Oscars, so we watched Independence Day on Fox and I finally got to start reading the Bryson book.

Today Iain will probably make more miniature anatomically-correct snowmen and I will spend entirely too much time online and Owen will spit up and get it into his ear again. Don’t you love snow days?
