8:02 am, New Britain, CT:  Back when the kids were smaller, we’d watch Yo Gabba Gabba a lot. If you don’t know it, you should. It’s sort of a trippier version of Sesame Street, if that’s possible. 

At any rate, Ted’s – and for awhile Q boo’s – favorite features musical number was the Aquabats’ Pool Party.  All around inspired. Made me at least smile every time, sometimes even dance around like an idiot, no matter how early it was or sleep deprived I was. Basically, two minutes of inane but also clever joy with little kids. Which as parents all know, is essential to getting through the day. 

So today, Uncle Sean is having an actual pool party. I reminded the kids about the song yesterday – somewhat to my disappointment they didn’t really recall it. But I told them I’d play the video for them today, to get them jazzed up. Looking forward to that. 

They’re still in bed, actually. Total shocker, but fantastic given how tired they were. 

Just me and the animals. JF going to the dogs, as usual.
