We got Chooch’s school pictures back and I’m pleasantly surprised to report that he kept his cat bowtie on. (Actually, he took it off as soon as he got to school and then put it back on right before pictures were taken.)

Then a week later, Henry finally took him to get his hair cut, so now he looks like a completely different kid. (I don’t know why he’s mean-mugging in this photo; he was so happy to be wearing his new cat Vans!)

Henry bought Chooch the latest Sia album today (he sings “Chandelier” with such unabashed moxie that it actually brings tears to my eyes, WTF is happening to me) and you would have thought it was a puppy the way Chooch reacted. Then he immediately pulled out the liner notes and started reading the lyrics. One of the many reasons physical copies of albums will always trump digital.

And now I will leave you with this interesting quote that happened during pre-haunted house dinner at King’s tonight:

I asked Chooch what he would do if he woke up in an orphanage. He said, after killing the “orphanager,” he would “Annie his way home.” I wonder if that’s similar to last week when he accused Henry of “Kevin Bacon’ing” his way around.

(He’s been obsessed with Kevin Bacon ever since he watched Footloose last year.)

(I’m so behind on blogging that I pathetically wrote this in the car in between haunted houses.)

  1. Are you sure Chooch isn’t really a 30 year old that just LOOKS really really young like that chick (ironically) from the movie “orphan”? His frontal love seems especially developed lol

  2. I like his hair cut but he’s getting entirely too old. Also, I love that Chandelier song. I didn’t at first but it infected me.

    • That song makes me cry even after hearing it 18289393940 times! I feel like I can relate to Sia on a personal level, lol. I’m not mad that Chooch is obsessed with this album!

    YES. Also, I love that he actually gets excited about receiving an album. That’s really great. AND he reads the liner notes! CHILD OF YOUR HEART.

    I adore the school picture and the serious picture. So, so him.

  4. OH! And the bow tie! LOVE LOVE LOVE.

  5. I love the school pic!! And I’m so jealous that he has the cat Vans; I’ve been lemming them ever since I first saw them.

Say it don't spray it.
