I’m sure we weren’t the only ones barely able to keep our eyes open during the day only to find them riveted to the television at 1 am every morning (or night, depending on how you measure these things). Though I was sad to see the games end, tonight I will joyfully reclaim the extra 2 hours of sleep I’ve been losing to competitions I would never admit to having watched in any other setting. Seriously… table tennis? Tell me I’m not alone.

We’re looking for a home we want to buy- cheap- and since we’d also like to find something structurally sound, we find ourselves a little more tied up than usual. So… Anybody know anybody willing to give their house away to a deserving family?

Kudos to Katie, who nailed our movie quote from August 9th. ”Kings to you” came from The Counte of Monte Cristo.
Frog Hunt August 25, 2008
We’re still laughing about the last time we let Sam stay up late to go “frog hunting” with her Daddy. I took the video sideways, so my apologies, but if you tilt your head to the left, this is pretty good stuff:
