Making Faces

It is bad enough, that as a family we make a lot of faces, but lately it appears that our mere presence seems to elicit them from others as well.

The Growing Artist - Part Nine

Many a student has failed at the hands of this instructor. He is fair, but tough, and demands from each student their very best. He expects from them more than they expect from themselves (namely the use of multiple colors and at least two eyes on each four legged creature.)

Walking with the Hansens

As Hansens', we really don't walk all that much (You might say we are the anti-walkers. That's not really true. We like to walk as much as the next guy, just not as much as the guy next to him.) Parker decided that walking was just not efficient enough, so he decided to craft a mechanism with wheels and pedals. He claims it will revolutionize travel around the world. (I didn't have the heart to tell him that it already had.)

Prep for Spider-man 3

We sent in an audition tape, but Sam Rami thought he wasn't old enough. (Parker didn't even see the movie, and not because he wasn't old enough. I didn't let him watch it because it sucked.)

Running Races

The first race was really more of a demolition derby, but Parker declared him self the winner early and often. Pops appealed to the judge (who was also his competitor) many times, but always in vain.
The second race was not a competition. I won easily.

Bed Time Reader

When I put him to bed, the lights were out and the books were on the shelf. I fully expect to walk in one night and see him reading Tolstoy.
