  • Music and Minecraft

    We have AC again! All of our brains are working much better now. The combination of good nights of sleep in the nice, cool air and us all not being heatcranky has us getting along much better.

    Seph bought herself a ukelele with her babysitting money. She is working her way thorough the Top 40 from KISS FM, with help from youtube videos.    The cello, sadly, has been neglected for this more portable, less 'lessony' stringed noisemaker and frowns sadly from the corner while this goes on.  

    Cotton is swimming without floaties, but only in the shallow end so far. I knew this would be the summer she got rid of them, but I didn't know how excited she'd be to get them off! We were swimming in the river at Emma Long and she just threw herself into practicing without them, wore herself right out. I love a worn out 4 year old!

    Rone is all about Minecraft right now. Apparently this is not an uncommon disease among kids his age. Currently there is no cure. I can't even sort out what he's doing half the time--he flies, builds things, there are zombies, and you can die. And play with other people.  And he'd like a server of his own, which I can helpfully buy for the low low price of $19.95/month. I think I may have to violate my longstanding policy of knowing nothing about videogames in order to sort this one out.
