A fifth member of the glasses club

R had his eyes checked and was dismayed to learn that his 20/15 vision has deteriorated to 20/20. To regain 20/15 vision, he got glasses. Behold, R with glasses in 2023:

Also, a blast from the past before his eyes failed:

Nerds

Two out of the three boys now have glasses. (R annoyingly has 20/15 vision.) M likes it when they wear their glasses, which they rarely do because they think they look too nerdy. But nerds are the cutest.

The Blob Post

Once upon a time, Henry and George invented this new creature called the "blob." He was a puffball with sticky googly eyes affixed to him. Then the idea took off, and soon there were hundreds of blobs invading our house. They decided to build a wall around "Blob City" to protect themselves from Mommy, who often threatened to come after them with the vacuum. Their leader, Blobius Rex, is the giant black blob on the throne.

The reason Mommy hates the blobs is that they have vowed to steal her identity along with BBB, who is often lurking in her purse to find her credit card information. The blob below, "James Blob," is an agent from His Majesty's Secret Service. However, the blobs claim they are innocent and it is only BBB trying to steal her social security number and other personal data.

George loves the blobs so much that he designed this year's Pinewood Derby car to be a tribute to the blobs. Guess who won first place for design in his den?

Of course, when we bought a robot vacuum, the first thing George and Henry did was put some blobs on top for a nice ride. Then they decided the robot could be an honorary blob.

Cutie Patootie alert!

Georgie's Kindergarten teacher gives the class a "Cutie Patootie alert" every time they start talking about cute animals like red pandas. Lately, George has been staring at Mommy deliberately in order to try to get her to scream, "Cutie Patootie alert!" because he is so cute. These pictures from February 13 and 14, 2012 are a 5 alarm, Cutie Patootie fire!

Cross-eyed Pudgets

Eyes bigger than his stomach?

Huckleberry Pest?

Mommy and Daddy often say that George's droopy eyes remind them of a certain cartoon character--see for yourself!

Two teeth!

Pretty in blue

So serious

Baby Brother is usually very inscrutable. Who knows what's going on in his (not-so-big) head?

As big as saucers?

Big eyes

My grandma thinks Baby Brother will have big eyes just like me. What do you think? (On a side note, BB's head measures at only the 50th percentile, whereas mine at this point was off the growth chart. Guess who got the brains in this family...)

Four eyes

What do you think? Do these bring out my eyes, or should I go for the square frames?

Maybe it's Maybelline?

Mommy says it's unfair that guys have long eyelashes, but I don't need to feel guilty about being fabulous. How else am I going to get girls to pick me up and feed me at daycare?
