Marshmallows for breakfast

This morning Josh said, “Carson, you’re sick. You can have anything you want for breakfast. Do you want some hot chocolate?”

Carson nodded, then a minute later came to me with a serious look on his face.

“How about…how about…marshmallows.”

“Marshmallows?” I laughed. “For breakfast?”

“Uh-huh.”

“In your hot chocolate?”

“Okay.”

He got his marshmallows. :)

Sick of being sick

We’ve all been sick. :( Well, except for Carson. Kind of funny since he’s usually the only sick one. But Josh, Annelise, and I have all had colds, coming on at one time or another since Christmas break started. Not really really bad colds, so I shouldn’t complain too much, but still enough to kind of wipe us out and certainly enough to be annoying. So I’ll only complain a little. Getting sick over a holiday is no fun, is it? I know we’re not the only ones who’ve been there.

Okay, done. Complaining over. At least Annelise is still her usual happy self at least half the time.

Airplane spotting

I think airplane spotting is Carson and Josh’s new favorite. We drove to the airport, parked nearby, and watched the airplanes leave and take off. It was so cute to see these two doing something together that they both REALLY loved. I think we’re going to have to go back soon.

Finding those gems on Netflix

So Netflix can be frustrating sometimes – seems like there’s tons and tons and tons of movies…but you’ve already seen the only 10 good ones out there. ;) But last night Josh and I found one that we really liked; it’s called Shuffle. It was listed under the Sci-Fi Thrillers, but I don’t know why, because it’s not really either. It’s a movie that you have to figure out, and it keeps you tense and guessing, but it’s definitely touching and poignant and reflective. We both really liked it.

Anyway,  after we watched it we found this Youtube short called Validation by the same writer/director and actor team. We almost liked the short better than the movie! (But we still recommend the movie.) They definitely have the same feel – but the short is much more feel-goody. So feel-goody, in fact, that I felt like writing this blog post and sharing it with all of you. :) If you’ve got 16 minutes to spare, check it out!
