having a wonderful time

How do you amuse two children with a laptop but no video games?


A built-in camera + comic life does the trick.

All is well in A2. BGK2 writing is nearly done and we got a lot of stuff worked out by being in the same room. A real bonus for us [we usually write books by e-mail and Skype].

I'm now in the phase I usually hit after aboug 24 hours here -- wondering how moms do it. I'm not mom material and am glad I get to play Auntie Amy with J's kids. But then I happily return to my very quiet house where the only sound, except for Hub singing to himself in his office [yes, i know he's adorable], is the sound of the rabbits eating things they shouldn't. Parents, I salute you. Jillian, I double-salute you. You are my hero.

Also, Zingerman's makes the best Jewish Rye Bread in the entire known world. I'm bringing three loaves home for the freezer. I'll be at LK tomorrow night, Rachel -- I owe you dinner! Please come!

Zingerman's makes the best EVERYTHING in the world! Makes me miss A2 just thinking about it.
 
You keep talking about BGK2, so I got ready for it by buying BGK. It was already well-thumbed: it's pre-loved! My imagination is trying to meld the two books, No Sheep and BGK. By the time I'm ready to embark on a sweater/jacket/something larger than socks, I may be able to choose a pattern and a yarn.
 
Hahahahah!
Great photos!
I hope you got that lady drinkin again! I'm starting to fret over here.
 
Okay.. where did my comment go LOL! I love A2 =- and i miss it !! Although its been YEARS since I graduated..
zingermans - yum.. can you bring me some home...
:)
 
I want dinner too... BURRITOOOOO!! Are we all happilly gonna go together?
Oh, I'm back from NYC and bought some yarn to make a sleeveless top (of course) from NSFY!!
 
Oh, and I got this new tagless yarn. I think it's cotton, but to be sure I think I'll just touch you with it and see if you have any reaction to it. That way I'll know if it has wool or not, mwahahaha!
 
Well, Amy, since you're wondering, some of us moms are more "mom material" than others. I am a happy mom to one very wonderful little 7-year-old girl. A friend of mine has four kids, ages 9 years to about 15 days (he was a happy surprise!). I love her kids, but if I had to be with FOUR kids 24/7, I'd be tearing my hair out!

And yes, my daughter knits, too!
 
Those two are so cute it just slays me. Ditto Megan, Zingerman's is awesomeness squared.
 
I heart Zingerman's! Drool!

I'm not very comfortable around kids. I know what you mean about appreciating quiet.
 
the MOMENT i got my first apple laptop (a month ago!) the first thing i did was play with all of the effects in photobooth :) it's addictive! and... a pretty good way to keep my mom amused, too.
