Middle school-er Michael is now old enough to stay home sometimes while we run errands. He quite enjoys this new independence. Of course, we've warned him not to gorge himself on cookies and such while we're gone and that parents have ways of knowing when kids have been up to no good. So far it appears he'd rather just play with Legos while we're out.
He asked for 'long underwear' recently and I thought maybe preteens had a weird new fad of sporting thermal undergarments, but it turns out he meant boxer shorts. Tighty Whiteys are so uncool, you see.
Watched some of the Oscars last night. That what's-his-name host guy was too rigid but Hathaway did pretty good. I was pleased to see The King's Speech take best picture, though we haven't seen the other front-runner about the nerds that started facebook so I can't compare.
The tattle of the week goes to Nicky - "Mom, Zach licked the dictionary." Oookay.
