A friend of mine recently met her boyfriend's family for the first time. Before she got there, he warned her of this weird tradition that his family did growing up (and still does). They get out instruments and sing songs every night after dinner, as a family. Amazing. Hence, after dinner family music at our house has begun.
Only, now that we've implemented family music into our after-dinner time, Magnolia is in charge. We have to pretend we are Elizabeth Mitchell and her daughter instead of being ourselves. And after seeing Liz and family play, she wants to (understandably) be them. So, we are pretending to be a different family, but a talented one none-the-less.
Sometimes famliy music turns into a full-on noise band jam session. I can't imagine how awesome it will be when Mags is a teenager and she brings a love interest over for the first time and we continue to do family music. he he
After a few press photos for Spin, Magnolia and I went on a hunt for the girl scout cookies Jason hid, yes, hid!
He bought 15 boxes and hid them all. Does anyone else live with someone who hides cookies? He confessed to eating a box for lunch the other day, a whole box. Share the thin mints man.
And June, happiest baby ever (even when I forget to cut her fingernails and she scratches her face all night)
