the invasion has ended, and i feel a little like i’ve run a marathon. you’d be surprised by how much ass-kicking a five and six year old can do. here are a few highlights from the day.

while looking at photos on my computer of their birthday party we happen upon one of max opening the sea monkeys i bought him:
“hey go back to that scary one,” max said.
“this one?” i asked.
“yeah, that was a terrible gift,” he said.
“gee thanks.”
“they were scary and they never hatched.”

while getting shoes on to go to Hollywood:
“aunt jodi do you have a husbint,” max asked.
“no.”
“cool.”
“what’s your last name?” jaycie asked.
“chromey.”
“then how come you don’t live with grandma and grandpa?”
“because i’m too old.”
“aunt keke said she has to live with grandma and grandpa because her last name is chromey.”
“aunt keke is a doofis.”
“yeah.”

then pulling into the Hollywood parking lot:
“oh there’s a cub and a rainbow,” jaycie said.
“yeah, i shop at rainbow.”
“why?”
“all the hipsters do.”
“i think cece and tony go to cub,” she said.
“yeah they are nerds.”
“hipsters are way cooler,” max said.
“i know and all the cool hipsters shop at rainbow,” i said.
“right on!” max said.

now i think i’m ready for a nap.
