In other news, Nicholas and Alexander have been turned into the "Children of the Corn" they were alarmingly well behaved after i picked them up from daycare today. Nicholas ate all his spaghetti at 5:30 then sat down with Chris and I at 8:30 and ate some noodles too. Really neatly! There was no fighting or brawling over trains and they were sitting on the couch quietly watching a movie when Chris came home.

As soon as I opened the door, he said "Wheres the kids?!", he normally gets tackled around the thighs while they try to run away with his laptop bag and keys. I told him they were watching tv in silence and his jaw dropped! They gave him a small smile and went back to staring at the TV, as he greeted them.

I stood back for a while and waited for their heads to spin or to hear them speaking in tongues- then went back to perparing dinner. Perhaps they’ve been zombified…
