NIGHT'S LIKE THIS

it's a saturday night and i just tucked three kids into bed.
tucking is a very loose term for tickling them and smoothing down the sheets.
we spent most of the night laughing.
i introduced them to all that is good about the movie ghostbusters.
they of course laughed at all of the same parts i did when i was their age.
(i can't believe how old this movie is... yikes)

"listen.... do you smell something?"
"where do these stairs go?" "they go up!"

it was freezing so we snuggled under the blankets.
it was awesome to hear anna laugh when she saw who (or what) the "destructor" was she couldn't breathe for 10 minutes when the stay-puft marshmallow man walked down the street.
most people would think it's rather lameski not going out on a saturday night
but i wouldn't have traded this memory for all of the dates in LP2

I played with loonies all saturday evening, maybe not as fun as those Thorndike kids, but pretty close.
