Okay, this is where we apologize for not posting for so long. It's so hard to find good help these days. Summer ended. School started. Willie is running x-country. Teddy is studying hard for his B.M. next June. New Year happened, with a day off from school over our protests. Another day off with no eating coming up this week. It's just one holiday after another these days. Thankfully, holidays mean special food. Last week we got barrel smoked tri-tip (and Willie professed his love for papa, but it was probably the tri-tip talking), and we had apple and honey and today we set up the sukkah frame, even though it isn't yom kippur yet, papa wanted to get a head start on building it, and it wasn't raining at the moment and the football game had not started yet, so off we went to build.

Anyway, you'll see the sukkah in all it's glory next Sunday, if the workers don't go on strike, which is a distinct possibility.

 While Willie was at camp, we went up to Baker Lake to visit our friends and brought dinner--yummy burgers and sausages.

 And Mexican Coke, with real cane sugar!

 Speaking of sugar, mommy made whoopie pies, and we helped a lot.

 Ya, I know what you're thinking--we probably just helped eat them, but you'd be wrong--we were right there in the trenches during all phases of production. From baking to filling.

Mmmmm, filling. I just want to eat it now right off the knife. Can I? Can I? Can I? How about now? Can I?

Sneaking some FILLING! Now? Can I?

 You're working me to the bone. Nobody will believe that we actually put up with all this child labor without any reward. Now? Can I?

 NOW!!!!! MUST EAT WHOOPIE PIE!!!!! MUNCH MUNCH SQUISH CHEW SWALLOW!!!!!

 What is they doing in the basement, precious? They looks like they is having funs.

PAPER SHREDDING--MORE GREAT FUN!!! Paper in--DESTROY!!!!!!

 Oil break or paper shredder is a sad machine.

 MUNCH MUNCH SQUISH CHEW SWALLOW!!!!! Wait a second--that's no whoopie pie.

 Shhh, no one must know what has just occurred here. Besides, no small animals were harmed in the previous chewing incident.

 Who you calling a small animal?

 This looks like we have an exceptionally deep couch based on both of us being able to sit side by side in the wrong direction next to each other. Or maybe we are just so svelte that we just fit naturally. Or Willie is getting crushed into the cushions. Kind of like the frog in the boiling water where you start it in cold water and then slowly increase the heat. Then, before you know it...

No more frog. It's magic.
