Now You're Just Somebody That I Used To Know!

I had some work to do in the boys' bedroom, which meant that I couldn't make use of their sleeping hours to work like I usually do. It seemed like a good idea (obviously) to employ Locke's help with distracting Fox. They both went to the room across the hall and I was half listening to them playing while working on my project. When things got suspiciously quiet, I decided to check on them. As soon as he saw me, Fox started singing, "now you just somebody that I used to know!" and Locke chimes in with, "somebodeeeee!!" Apparently, they were trying to reenact their favorite music video which features two people who have shapes painted all over themselves to blend in with the shape-painted wall behind them.



 Naturally, I was just embarrassed for them and realized that I had to show them how to do it properly. It was clear that we all needed to paint an entire wall of their play room with shapes first so that we didn't look like total idiots. And then we really made this happen:






 We even made our own version of the music video and I couldn't have dreamed that it would turn out so well.

Shockingly good stuff right there. Just shocking.


Here is a later attempt at Somebody That I Used To Know paint by Locke. He really nailed it this time.

Bitties just being generally mischievous:


And this one time that I baked a pot pie. I am so domestic.

  1. I laughed myself silly over this one, Laura. I just hope your kids realize how lucky they are to have a fun mom like you who'll let them indulge their creativity. And why didn't I ever make a pot pie like yours when you were little?...

  2. We need a remake of the music video. I think it would be amazing, especially if it was longer than 6 seconds.

  3. So much radness here. I hadn't seen that video so I had to check it out. It's kind of sad to me.
    Anyway, how'd you get the walls painted/drawn like that? High five
