Last night I went ahead and made two more journals.

Subtle, aren't they?

While I was making the journals, we also cleaned the couch cushion covers (Better living through alliteration! Literally!) and hauled out the living room rug. I was sneezing throughout the entire process, so I'm pretty sure we're in much better shape now. Yesterday morning I took the vacuum upstairs and cleaned my little heart out up there. Hopefully Henry will show some signs of improvement.

On the ukulele front, I've been teaching myself two new songs. One is "Yellow Bird", the other is "Beyond the Sea". This uke version of "Beyond the Sea" is really good and very sweet. Something to aspire to. Here are The Mills Brothers singing "Yellow Bird". No ukes, but it's so good, I couldn't not link to it.

Holly had her nine month checkup this morning. She's beautifully, spectacularly average: 50th percentile straight across the board. A big difference from Henry whose stats were always either 90th percentile or ^95th percentile. Naturally she charmed everyone because she's just so charming with all of the charm she's got going on. Nary a tear was shed, not even for the dreaded ear exam, which she hated last time, and which Henry hates all the time. What's up with that anyway? It doesn't hurt. I don't get it. Kids, man.

Henry's going to a birthday party on Friday evening. We have to come up with his own superhero costume. He wants to be a whale. Whale Boy it is. But what are his superpowers? And what could his costume be besides this? A cape? With sea animals on it? I'm at a bit of a loss.

This is Henry's last full week of school. A summer full of vacations and summer camps stretches out before us...
