to hold you over

so I'm plugging away at pictures. and by plugging away, I mean, here is one more of Ben and me on the Mt of Beatitudes overlooking the sea of Galilee. (this photo thing may be a long process. so, put on your patient pants...).

In other news:

- my 16 month old has an obsession with this craft show on sprout. yes. noodle and doodle. craft show...real people...one puppet....16 months...."noonel.noonel.noonel." all.day....since when are one and a half year olds into craft shows?!

- and not to be outdone in the 'I like shows that don't match my age' arena, jonah likes the barefoot contessa. "Let's watch your friends cook, mom."

- Jonah just asked me why I had black eyes. not make-up on...or make-up residue. soooo, good suggestions for dark circle concealer?

- ben and I watched zero dark thirty last night. we liked it--definitely kept our attention for the 2.5 hours. and then we went to bed--but I checked on the boys before we did. and I felt all CIA operative sneaking upstairs and into their dark rooms. and then I kind of woke thatcher up... guess I'll leave the whole al qaeda thing to the seals.

(I'm realizing this post sounds like we watch a lot of tv? which brings me to my next bullet point)

- I'm ready for warmer weather (gasp! I know...I never thought I would be that person. I like winter. a lot.). but ear infection city and cabin fever central is 'bout gonna kill me.
