The Old and the Restless

That's us. Droopy and cranky, about to celebrate having a Friday night off by...going to bed early. Yee-haw! I'm all atingle with the excitement at the prospect of going unconscious. Blissfully, gloriously unconscious. Like death leading to Heaven. The difference being, this little death I'm a-headin' for tonight leads to pancakes. (Another difference: The pancakes exist.)

But first - two new items for any interested grandparents out there:

1. Q doing homework. Q got a 15/15 on his spelling test today, getting all three of the challenge words correct.

No sound in the video, nor in life - she just flips the tongue back and forth like that, breathing normally. Thank God for video cameras.

And pillows.
