Laugh? Yep

One of the funniest posts I've read in recent times was on "hyperbole and a half" blog.

Material that I can relate to makes it funnier, for sure!

A friend of a friend of a ....you get the picture

Occasionally I'll hit the "next blog" button on blogger and see where it takes me. Other times I'll go to a friends blog, randomly choose one of their blog links and see what's of interest.

On this occasion I went to my friend Kerry's blog (http://windmillwatching.blogspot.com/) then went to her friend Kate's page (http://world-of-kate.blogspot.com/ -Kate also happens to be from the UK. Wolverhampton to be precise - here's hoping she prefers the stripey [and, ahem, baggier] side of the Black Country football derby! aye aye boing boing!)
From there I ended up somehow "C Jane enjoy it" (http://blog.cjanerun.com/) which then led me to Reagan's blob (http://www.reagansblob.com/) where I dwelled for a while. If you've ever read it you'll know why I spent a fair bit of time at Reagan's blob and why I was moved to write this post despite it being past midnight on a school night ( and I've got an all day workshop tomorrow...!)

Like most blokes I'm hard to move. Bambi and E.T. tried their best to no avail. But kids, well that's something different.

Read all the blogs above. They are all great people with great ways of telling their life stories. But promise me you'll stop by Reagan's and smile at the joy Piper brings to her and Jake's lives.

New look

Following on from the makeover at MaJaTo Scribes I've decided to freshen things up here at Original MaJaTo.

The force moves in mysterious ways

Disney. Star Wars. Florida. 3 things I like a lot.

Put them together and you get Star Tours and the Jedi Training Academy at Disney Hollywood Studios ( still prefer the old moniker of MGM Studios) and every year they have Star Wars weekends too (normally around May/June time.)

A few months ago Luke got to fight Darth Maul at the Training Academy (bad idea- he now thinks he's a trained Jedi!!!!). Unfortunately Ben was too young, which was a shame because he was desperate to fight Darth Vader!!!

Whilst playing around on YouTube for Star Wars related footage I found some of the characters from a Star Wars weekend involved in a bizarre dance-off which someone shot a couple of years ago. I thought I'd post it on here for y'all to enjoy!

Wake up call

6.30am is actually quite late to be woken up by either/both of my boys.

This morning I woke up to find Ben sat next to my head, just below my pillow.

Aw, what a nice way to wake up. That is until I realise he has no pull-ups on. No pull-ups means they've been removed....by him. He has a habit of doing this in the morning, most often after he's done a poo.

On realising this I jumped ot of bed and lifted the somewhat bemused Ben out of bed to reveal a nice "streak" on the bed sheets, just inches from where my head had been!

I dashed through to the bathroom still holding the toddler (he's still only 2) only to find poo smeared on the toilet seat lid and the carpet.

Ok. I'm now wide awake. Thanks Ben.
