I Bought it On eBay

Ahhh...another year rolls by. Eldest is officially eleven and he's got the eye roll to prove it:

I'm shocked at how fast he's growing up. He's getting so tall and so gangly. One nice thing is that, despite the quarrels, the kids continue to love each other:

Along with the Wii, I forgot to mention that we did give Eldest some redeeming birthday gifts? He received an actual book (you know--the kind with pages that he won't look at now we have a Wii?), a bookmark, and a book light.

Then there was one gift left. Along came the best gift of all in my opinion. I bought tickets for us all to go to the Puyallup State Fair. Yee-haw! The last time I was at a fair, I learned that pigs have corkscrew penises and got ejaculate on my jeans for my edification.

So, what makes this fair cool is Weird Al's corkscrew-y hair. Yep, we are going to see Weird Al Yankovitch in concert at the fair. {Shaking my head}

In my world before kids, Al would not have been a concert I would have been caught dead at--not enough black, Doc Martens, and morose depression. Now, I look forward to his eBay jingles. Eldest is a fan of the Star Wars song above as well, which is what spurred this purchase. I'm partial to Candian Idiot, White & Nerdy, and this classic:

Yes, it seems like only yesterday I was eleven and listening to Weird Al and now it's something we can share as a family.

Happy Birthday, Alley Cat. I'm so glad you made me a Mommy.
