The twins have named their babies and their horses. (They are dolls and stick horses, but you knew that already, didn’t you?)
Claudia named her baby Keisha. To the best of my knowledge, Claudia doesn’t have any little friends named Keisha, so either she made it up or heard it on tv.
Ian named his baby Ian.
Claudia named her horse Sushi. At first I thought she might have named her Suzy, but no – Sushi.
We watch a lot of Food Network programming.
Ian’s horse is named Ian.
Claudia named her bath doll Gretel. Ian named his Ian.
Claudia is working on naming her bear. Your guess is as good as mine to what she will eventually end up with. The last we spoke up it Claudia was considering “Betty” for her bear’s name.
I think I have a hunch what Ian will be naming his bear.

The Goon Squad’s grandparents help pay for their preschool. Each set of grandparents provides a “scholarship” for one child.
Yes, I know we are lucky, but that isn’t why I am telling you this. I am telling you about the scholarships so that I can get to this part of the story.
I got a check in the mail today from my father.
In the memo line he wrote “hush money”.

So, I just got off the phone with Steve Case.
No, really. I was on a conference call with Steve Case, and he was really cool. I was joined by Cindy, Kelly, Jenn and Jenny. We talked about his new website Revolution Health. It is a brand new site that is kind of like WebMD, but better.
The other ladies were very professional and asked well thought out, intelligent sounding questions while I said things like Holy Shit! Steve Fucking Case! “Uh, duh, ummmmm… What is WebMd?”
I’m kidding. I did okay, even though I am pretty sure everyone could clearly make out the sound of “Madagascar”
in the background. I guess you if want Mommybloggers, you get the added bonus of getting to rock out to “I Like to Move It”.

You are supposed to sing that title to the tune of either “Born in the U.S.A.” or “Banned in the U.S.A.” depending on which one you think is funnier.
Either way, my friend Mark (I still haven’t been able to figure out why he is wrestling a donkey in that picture) is currently working on shooting a movie somewhere outside of Addis Ababa, and he says that the Ethiopian government has banned Sarah and the Goon Squad.
I feel like such a bad ass.

I know I have a lot of male readers so I wanted to help you guys out.
If your wife/girlfriend/significant other gets a hair cut, and you don’t say anything about it, she is going to think you hate it. As in, ‘if you can’t think of anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.’ Especially if her hair is a completely different color or considerably shorter. It might actually be better to say you liked it the old way better, but she still looks nice than nothing at all. Or she might be silently freaking out until she starts crying for what would appear to be no reason. Even if you liked her new hair the whole time.
Not that I would ever do anything like that. I’m just sayin’.
This might save you some grief in the future.
You are welcome.
