You'll be happy to know we've picked a camera, yeah! So here's some pictures from our weekend. Friday night we attempted, once again, to institute a family movie night. I think this is a great idea, especially for tired and wanting to relax parents. We have several Disney classics on VHS (thank you Goodwill!) so we popped in "The Fox and the Hound". This particular movie is a favorite of both Daniel and I and should appeal to Joaquin since he loves puppies, etc. however he could only sit through about 45 minutes of it. This picture totally misleads you since he looks so intent. It's funny to me that his attention span for TV is so short. I think that some kids just enjoy things moving and music, etc. whereas Joaquin doesn't like it unless he sort of understands the plot. And movie plots are long! Even with Mommy explaining, it just isn't fun for too long. Fortunately he played in his room, so Mommy got to finish! ("You're my best friend Copper", "And you're mine too Todd." "And we'll always 
be friends forever, won't we?" "Yeah" Oh, so touching!)
be friends forever, won't we?" "Yeah" Oh, so touching!)However he makes up for his lack of movie watching in one new big boy respect, he's much better about picking up! Plus he's better at finding the little pieces and he puts them away a teeny-tiny bit faster than geological processes would put away toys. Thank you Little Gym and Sunday School for emphasizing picking up lately. See he even has a smile on his face. (That's cause Mommy has 
one too!) Also, notice his shirt says, "Explora!" on it. We purchased this shirt at Explora last Saturday when we went there with Mi-mo. Why you might ask, since souvenirs of one's hometown always seem a little pointless. B/c Joaquin had so much fun playing with bubble area, and the dam thingy that he was quite wet. We (Dora & I) had a lot of fun, and Daniel had a ridiculous amount of fun. He was literally playing with all the exhibits and demonstrating to any children that would listen to him how they all worked. He was especially popular at the dam exhibit where he co-oped all the children in to helping him make one large dam with a waterwheel and several waterfalls. We're definitely science nerds in this family!
