Laughing and crying

It's pretty rare that I'm able to smile or laugh when my kids are crying.  My mommy instinct checks into high gear and I try my hardest to smooth things over for them.

Over the last few days, both Malina and Luke have come down with a cold.  Luke got hit with a triple whammy: major teething + a low grade fever from an MMR vaccine + Malina's cold = House of Pain.

But today, while in the car, amidst all the crying and whining, I laughed out loud when this song came on the radio.

Malina and Luke's Anthem

Future Pianist??

Here's a song to ease you in to your Tuesday morning:

Bach Prelude

I love this song, it's so soothing.  So relaxing and melodic. 

Luke does an amazing rendition of it.  Take a listen.

Sounds just like it, doesn't it?  What baby has two thumbs and can tickle the ivories in a bib and footie pajamas?  THIS baby, baby!

Mad Men

Are you watching Mad Men these days?  Bryan and I have been following the show since it first aired in 2007 and it's something we really look forward to watching every Sunday night (well, every Monday night since we moved back to NY.  It's hard to stay up until 11 pm these days!).  Last Sunday's episode was intense.  Wooo weee!!  This scene between Peggy and Don is incredible and just so sad.  It reminds me how far they've come.  Remember this episode?  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEMe3wj-QuM

OK, check it out (warning: spoiler alert!). 

Move over Chris Rock

Funniest guy EVER!  Check it out.

Google+ Commercial = Love

Google has some pretty awesome commercials.  This one made me smile big time -- what's not to love about Queen and the Muppets?  I want to hang out with these guys!
