We’re now watching Charlie Brown Thanksgiving for the third time today. Good thing I don’t hate it. On the other hand, I’m going to get tired of it pretty soon. Still, it’s got that awesome Vince Guaraldi background music going for it.

Charlie Brown’s Holiday Hits contains the Thanksgiving theme, but I don’t think it has the song with vocals in it. That’s “Little Birdie,” isn’t it? I will say that the reviews for this CD say that some of the songs are just samples and they’re in mono. So I don’t know that it’s worth it. I guess I’ll stick with the classic Charlie Brown Christmas.

December 8th. Don’t blame me if you miss it.

And hey, only 9 days until the 25 days of Christmas start on ABC Family (or whatever the hell it is these days. It’s ABC now, right? It was Fox Family last year. I can only keep track of so many things before the lines start to blur.

Junior was playing with this teeny stuffed dog (an Animal Alley dog they had in happy meals a year or so ago) and he’s telling me it’s Super Dog. I asked what kind of super powers it has. In addition to heat vision (thanks Fairly Oddparents!):

“He has powers to make breakfast and other important stuff.”

Here is a link to the page I made about our Wiggly adventure south to see the Wiggles.

This morning when I woke up and thought about the long drive from Leominster to New Haven I started to wonder what the hell I had gotten myself into…but off we went, loaded down with a Leap Pad, a Game Boy Advanced and some books. The Leap Pad lasted almost all the way down…two hours. I thought MapQuest was kidding but I guess not. You get to by-pass Hartford if you are going south on 91, so other than the backup caused by the car fire “Oooh, that’s not good” we didn’t hit any traffic.

The show…unbelievable. I’m in awe of what these guys do THREE times a day for all these little kids. Even as I type this, they’re in the middle of another show. And they were doing one while I was in the middle of my drive home. That’s a LOT of work, folks, given that they do not stop moving through the whole show. Unfortunately, most of my pictures stink because of that, but I will share some anyway. Look here for a link, maybe by noon, that will have the recap and the pictures. Here’s a teaser for you, with one of the better pictures:
