We recently learned that our daughter is the spawn of Satan, just like Rosemary's Baby. Our friend the minister suggested an exorcism but as far as I can tell this process is unproven. Elsie got into some pumpkin carving action over the weekend and for some reason her mom wouldn't let me show her how to properly wield a knife. Here's some pictures of that:
A few nights ago we had a "date night" in which Maggie and I left Elsie with a sitter and went out for dinner and a movie. Excitement! We saw "Michael Clayton" which was actually a very good movie. Recommended! Was it worth the extra 12 bucks an hour not to wait until the dvd came out? I'm not sure yet about that. My friend Rich recently commented that he hadn't seen a film in a theater since his nine month old daughter was born. Movies in the theaters are one of my fovaroite activities so we've tried to get away for that as often as we can, especially when we can impose upon relatives to look after Satan Girl for free. Here's the list of films we've seen since Elsie's birth in Decemeber: Children of Men, Zodiac, Pirates of the Caribbean Part 3, Sicko, Knocked Up, Superbad, and Michael Clayton. The best was Superbad and the worst was Pirates of the Caribbean. They should have paid us to sit through that one. Children of Men was a good film too, and you can rent that now. So watch it, and then try to populate the earth if you still can.
I'm kidding about the Satan thing! She's an Angel! Sometimes! Happy Halloween!
