A few more from the Real Life

Miles is soooo powerful that he doesn't even need knights! Or gods.


We will be working on our dance technique in Zimbabwe.

Catching Up

I need to catch up on posting some videos before we relocate to our slow-connection life in Harare!

Expressions of persuasion: Miles and his mother.


Eliza's fairy song:

Fairies. Fairies. The fairies fight a tiger.
The fairies fight it. The fairies do it.
Fairies. Fairies. Fai-ai-ries.
We do the fairies. The fairies kick.
And the tigers gr-scream.
Fai-ai-airies. Fai-ai-airies. Fa-ai-airies.
That's what it's all about.

That Terrible Halloween Night!


A few families got together (all Brits except us) and decided to set up a three-stop circuit. There was a giant pinata spider at the first house, a reading of That Terrible Halloween Night at our house, and 2-family effort at the last house with "yucky dip," a treasure hunt, and beer for the adults. The kids had a lot of fun, but it's just not the same as knocking on the doors of your neighbors' homes and having them say "Now who do we have here?"...though I did try to pull it off in costume as the old man who read the story.

See the resemblance?


When I Become a Woman

Me: What do you want to do when you become a woman?
Eliza: I want to reach the lights.
Me: What else?
Eliza: Drink coffee.
Me: And?
Eliza: Go to work.
Me: What do you want to do at work?
Eliza: Make music
Me: What kind of music?
Eliza: Jingle Bells
Me: Do you want to play an instrument?
Eliza: The drums!
