A day late...

And more than a dollar short. Yesterday two of my favorite boys turned a year older...



Preston is three, and as you can see, his birthday was very much orange (and Diego). Five things you may not know about Presto-Chango:

5. Preston once said that he didn't like Uncle Josh. Why? "He's bad." What did he do? "He hit me." When? "After school." The kid is full of it on all fronts. He loves his birthdaymate Uncle Josh.

4. Even though at three years old he is a very big boy, Preston cannot go to bed without at least two pluggies and a sippy cup of warm milk.

3. Preston is only willing to eat the following: hotdogs, tater tots, and apples. It is not unusual to find, in random spots such as the refrigerator or on a chair, an abandoned apple with a few tiny bites taken out of it.

2. Preston is very smart. It is rumored that he has memorized the entire Gettysburg Address.

1. Preston's favorite response to any question is, "Sure!"


It was also Josh's 32nd birthday. Here's 10 things you may not know about Josh:

10. Josh is ambivalent about the color orange.

9. Josh has recently learned that he has a gluten intolerance. Last night he got a gluten-free cake made from wonderful things like sweet rice flour, tapioca flour, and xanthan gum.

8. Josh also has an intolerance to caffiene. He can't even drink decaf coffee. He has to buy this very expensive "coffee" made from chicory root, carob, and other fine wholesome ingredients.

7. Josh has an assortment of Star Wars action figures lined up on a bookshelf in our office. Also in our office? A life-sized Luke Skywalker cardboard cutout.

6. Josh does a dead-on impersonation of Milton Waddams.

5. Several years ago, Josh wrote and had a role in a locally-produced feature-length film. During filming, the set was swarmed by the GRPS SWAT team and he was commanded to lay on the ground with his hands over his head. No kidding.

4. Much like Preston, Josh likes to rock out.

3. Josh is surprised by how much he likes his Torts class. I may end up being the wife of an ambulance chaser.

2. Josh has been to China three times and obtained a very realistic fake Rolex Submariner during his last excursion.

1. Josh loves The West Wing. He owns all seven seasons and falls asleep watching it every night. The show even inspired him to make up his own dance, which he calls "Disc Two." Someday when I'm stealthy enough I'll film him doing it and post it on here for y'all.

Tomorrow's post? You guessed it...another birthday.
