Do you hear the people sing?

Hopefully I wasn't the only Le Mis enthusiast serenading her significant other with these tunes while it aired on PBS last night!

(Was I? Was a Jonas brother Marius?)

If you lived in the Chi-O house sophomore year, you know me well enough to know I have already drafted words to this post to the tune of Le Mis:

 "On his own...Van ate his mashed potaaatoes...all alone...he used the fork to eat them"

...but decided to spare you the rest. (Van- if you ever read this in the future, yes your mom is a huge nerd).

But he did feed himself mashed potatoes! At G-Mommy and G-Daddy's for dinner last night, Van - unable to resist the delicious dinner that sat in front of him - put fork in hand and managed to insert a mouth full of mashed potatoes! Evans proclaimed how much we have underestimated him.

He is also dancing to the Alphabet song which is incredibly entertaining. Maybe soon he'll start singing opera?

Do you ever catch a glimpse of something in/around your house and smile?

This scene out front is making me very happy this morning.

And our freshly painted kitchen cabinets! 

I am counting down the days until our northern fam arrives!! Van and I cannot wait to steal Fray-wump and get some lovin.


Watch out Frasier! I can chase you now!
