I haven't had a chance to mention Benjamin's latest obsession: VeggieTales. It came on rather suddenly. Essentially, he was (finally!) getting bored with Baby Einstein and needed something new to get him through his daily breathing treatments so on a whim I decided to try one of the VeggieTales videos we had. The rest, as they say, is history. Now we eat, sleep, and breathe VeggieTales. On an average day we listen to each of our four VeggieTales CD's at least once (well, excepting the one that is in the car, which is now the only acceptable soundtrack for any kid-accompanied venture.)
One of Benjamin's favorite characters is Pa Grape. Several weeks ago he began wearing a hat around the house. A few days later he started pulling it down over his eyes. He told me, "Benj has no eyes. Like Pa Grape."
He has also been known to wear this very "Larry Boy" mask.
Finally, after I put the kids down for their afternoon naps and returned to the living room I found this arrangement (of our new VeggieTales books, courtesy of Mima) on my rocking chair:

Well, Jordan has been introduced slightly to VeggieTales- I found the movie Jonah on crazy cheap sale at Walmart, so I picked it up. Currently (and on and off for the past week at least) I have "Billy Joe McGufrey" stuck in my head. And it's 6:30am and I can't sleep because it keeps going through my head! :)
