The Easy Thing about the East Coast
04/23/2009 - 10:59am //We're back out and loving it.
Although I love me some California, touring the East Coast is easy-there are so many great cities within a few hours of each other.
Higlights so far include:
Philly- The Please Touch Museum
Cruisin city streets.
Locating playgrounds in Boston.
Catching up with old friends in DC (and cute kids).
A stop back home to attend Magnolia's field trip to the garbage museum (Our favorite was the composting section)...

We're playing tonight!
04/06/2009 - 1:01pm //Quick warm-up type show tonight! If you live in CT, come see us and Asobi Seksu from Brookyn at Daniel Street Cafe in Milford.
We'll play 40 minutes at around 10pm
Oh, and we signed up for the Montessori school. And, I think I got a job
teaching music there. They said they's be flexible with our tour
schedule, etc. What do you know, we both are going to be at the
school. I'm totally psyched...

Anyone ever been to Unicorn Island?
04/06/2009 - 9:53am //If you really want to know what is going on inside young brains, I suggest
recording one of their stream of consciousness songs.

(This was one out of 4 that Magnolia did the other night)
I'm trying not to overanalyze this but it's kind of fun to interpret. I
realize she would like to visit "Unicorn Island" but apparently there
are bad things there too.
Could Unicorn Island be Kindergarten?
I wonder what a psychologist would tell us that her lyrics say about
our parenting. Either way, her next song called "Cinderella
Bingerella" included the lovely lyric, "Hannah Montana is my friend."
What? No...

Monster trucks
03/24/2009 - 12:32pm //Forget about education. Monster trucks, ice cream and more ice cream...that's what what Mags and Jason did this weekend.
Also we found this from their Dad/daughter outing last weekend: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGPp-Vnu2oQ. I'm starting to get jealous.
In other at-home news, June threw her first tantrum. We kind of thought it was funny (after the fact).
I hope she doesn't get frustrated with bunk beds and small living spaces because pretty soon, it'll be bus living for a month...

Let the Language Linger
03/12/2009 - 5:12pm //I just realized today that I'm guilty of thinking my child's
pronounciation of words is too cute to correct. She wanted to play the
"Fanking" game (try to tag each other by spanking and then running

heard myself saying "prenzel" when she wanted to eat a pretzel....
