Walt Disney Pictures? Whatever you guys smoke, I want to have some. I like unlikely flying objects as much as any other unsuspecting dope-head creative person.

Flying elephants? Check.
Flying horses? Check. Yes, I know it's a classic, but we're talking Mama horse, Daddy horse and flocks of cute baby horsies here.
Flying whales? Check.

No, I am not joking. Check out Fantasia 2000 if you don't believe me.

So.

We tried out the giant bathtub yesterday.

rainette *makes best stranded whale impersonation*: oooh, look! A mommy whale! And two baby whales!
Tadpole: Whales fly!
rainette: No, they don't.
Tadpole: yes, they do! Like this! *jumps up*
rainette *is winded by cute, plump Tadpole heavily landing on her chest* vooooosh! *gasps*
Tadpole *giggles*
rainette *still winded* can't breathe. Tadpole, you're too heavy to do this.
Tadpole: Again?
rainette: NO!
Tadpole *jumps anyway*
rainette: voooooosh!
Froglet: Mommy?
rainette *in between gasps* yes, sweetpea?
Froglet *hearfelt tone* I hate gravity.
rainette *tries to giggle with whatever breath is left and chokes on her own spit*

I'd like to add that I have the cutest kids, ever. *smug smile* No, really.

This morning, Froglet, after getting dressed, helped Tadpole into her snowsuit and boots. And then, she brought me my jacket. I thanked her profusely, so Tadpole decided she should have her share, too, and tried to bring me my boots. Upon which Froglet jumped her and they fought to determine who would be allowed to bring me my boots, and then happily settled on one boot each.

They're very, very cute. Still, at that very moment, I was glad I didn't have three kids, or three feet. *shakes fist in general direction of McDonald employee who accidentally gave us 3 crappy McToys last time we went, thus provoking a Major Nearly Nuclear Conflict between the girls*.

In completely other news, we are being invaded by Sams. Our next-door neighbour's golden retriever is called Sam. So is the other next-door neighbour's three-year-old son. I expect interesting developments in the spring. *evil grin*

*thwaps forehead* but of course! You're so right! I'll keep one for me, next time that happens (unlikely, for we are no longer going to McDonald's these days, but still, the idea is brilliant). They won't fight over the third toy if it is clearly identified as belonging to someone else...

Whales = COOL!

And please don't get me started on what happens when one of my babies loses a toy that the other 3 have...

I know *headthunk*

Yes, whales are cool! We take the girls to Marineland (Niagara Falls), once a year, and they get to pet and feed the belugas and killer whales, and we take a picture. They love it. (Me too, and Husband, but we get to feed/pet the whales once every other year only -- one of us in on "hold onto the kids and do not let them fall in the aquarium, oh, and say cheese" duty, and the other takes the picture and doesn't get to touch the animals.)

Too cute!

I wish I were a flying whale...

:D Opens up a whole new perspective, don't you think?

Yeah. *sad sigh* I wish I were a lot of things.

I don't think you are getting much argument on that one. Must come up soon and meet the cuties!
