M: I am so excited you're going to school today.
W: Me too! [Hugs M on the leg]
M: What are you most looking forward to?
W [rolling his eyes]: Mom. Stop.
M: Stop what?
W: Stop doing that.
M: Stop doing what?
W: Talking. This makes me . . . I can't think of the word. Irritated. It makes me irritated.
M: Talking about school makes you irritated?
W: No. YOU talking about school makes me irritated.
[And M, open-mouthed, follows W out the door to school]

All kinds of time... on your hands.
So, i may not have time to come up with original blog topics. But there is always time to share a random You Tube video with the ones you love.
I like this song, and someone had the time to turn it into a strange hand dancing video. It's like break dancing meets sign language... with subtitles.
Daft Punk - Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger
FYI - New Pics on Ksenia's Blog.

Just to spice things up a bit...
The chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Peace Prize Committee, Ole Danbolt Mjoes, holds a photo of Al Gore during the announcement Friday in Oslo.A fact i found...
"Just after Gore won an Oscar for his global warming documentary, An Inconvenient Truth - in which he asked American households to cut their use of electricity - the Tennessee Centre for Policy Research took a look at Al's energy bills.
It reckoned that his 20-room, eight-bathroom mansion in Nashville sometimes uses twice the energy in one month that the average American household gets through in a year. The combined energy and gas bills for his estate came to nearly $30,000 in 2006. Ah, say his defenders, but he uses rainwater to flush his lavatories."

Ksenia's out of context quote of the week
Ksenia: "Accounting deals with two things God doesn't like: People and Numbers... wait... i think i got that wrong..."
Reprise: Some Non-Wednesday Willisms
W: A long time ago when I lived in China, I sewed Janie's toys as a kid daddy.
W [to a cute grad student riding her bike past us]: I'll come play at YOUR house.
W [staring into space at the library, turning to me]: Mom, it used to be just us, huh?

IT'S THE CONFERENCE GAME!!!
We were watching conference today and reminiscing back when you were all home and we used to play the conference game as an incentive to get you kids to listen. I thought it would be fun, that even though you weren't here with us, hopefully you were all watching in the various places that you are so I thought I'd post some questions to you to ... see how well you were listening?
This is just for fun. Remember, you have to get 3 or more correct to win a prize and I usually had different prizes written down on pieces of paper that you would draw from a bowl. I'll just say that any of you who get 3 or more correct get ice cream on me the next time I see you. How's that?
Here goes:
1) How old is President Hinckley now?
2) Who is the new Counselor in the First Presidency?
3) Who is the new Apostle?
4) In Henry B. Eyring's talk he talked about writing a few lines down every day. What was the question he would ask himself before he wrote?
5) In Quenton R. Cook's talk what did he say was the percentage of Polynesians who are LDS?
6) In Julie S. Beck's talk (the new General R.S. President) what was her council on having children?
7) What was the topic of Elder Bednar's talk?
8) What analogy did Daniel K. Judd use at the beginning of his talk that had to do with horses?
9) In Dallin H. Oaks talk he was talking about the importance of time we spend as a family. What did he say kids really want for dinner?
10) What was Richard G. Scott's talk about?
11) How many conference talks did President Hinckley say he'd given over the years?
12) What was the closing song?
OK, so let me know how many you think you got right in your comments to this post and let me see how many of you I owe ice cream to! I love you all and hope you enjoyed conference as much as we did!
