to the bad…

Ahhh! It’s George Bush, dangerously close to the boy.

You guys are probably starting to think I’m staging these photos, but I swear to god this was in the bathroom today while the drywallers wrapped up the last of their work.

Sooo, after taking care of, uh, matters at hand, a satisfying smoke to reward oneself for a job well done? Jesus.

to the utterly unexplainable…

Spotted during a drive through our neighborhood. What. The. HELL?

Also, because this one’s too good not to share, an overtired and punch-drunk baby going crazy over a granola bar wrapper. Haaaaaaa!

Riley’s laughter is infectious. I want whatever he’s having.
P.S. What’s he doing with his other arm?

P.P.S. That is an awfully weird somethingorother on that house. Next time, take your telephoto lens.

Ummm…I think you have aliens as neighbors. At least the boy is perfect!

The clip of Riley giggling over the wrapper is TOO cute! My son, at 5 years old, still giggles about crinkled wrappers, or hands wiping over nylon/canvas/parachute material. Maniacal giggles.

On the, uh, wall climber in your neighbor’s house? Hmmm. It could be…a….er….um…..Igiveup.

Careful, love… There have been 17 documented cases of George Dub’yas televised face actually burning the retinas of animals and young children. (though I’m pretty sure he blamed Muslim homosexshuls.)

I think you ought to post a poll soliciting opinions as to what is going on in the last photo. Here’s mine: person using in-home device that facilitates unusual sexual positions. (We can’t see his/her partner.)

How about taking some pre-emptive action like filling your house with Skoal cans and lube tubes before the contractors get there? Let the hilarity ensue!

Eh? I cannot figure out for the life of me what the HELL your neighbor was doing! The person looks like a naked astronaut floating around in a gravity-zero room. I know this picture is gonna burn in my mind until the riddle is solved…think you have the guts to ask your neighbor what they were doing? Tee-hee!

I watched the clip of Riley with my one year old in my lap. Sam thought it was the funniest thing ever. He giggled right along with Riley. He, too, loves any sort of crinkly paper or wrapper.

At least the items being left by the contractors are getting slightly less creepy. Tobacco beats lube any day. Maybe you could leave a request list taped to the bathroom mirror, or better yet, a grocery and cleaning list. See if you can get some extra work out of them.

Ha, a grocery list – I love it.

Okay, as for the mysterious floating person? It’s a mannequin. Does that make it less creepy – OR MORE?

The pic with the flags is very beautiful. The boy is so sweet sounding.

Something weird in the water in your area? Crew workers leaving weird stuff behind and your neighbors doing weird stuff. Hilarious.

Oh, yes! Babies laughing over seemingly normal things. Our little one decided this past weekend, when Papa was changing his diaper and took off his little jeans and flailed them about that that was just about the funniest thing he’d ever seen. Giggles abounded.

Too cute.

As for your neighbours, perhaps they have this http://www.gravitizer.com/

bwahahaha

Notice it *is* out of stock.

Ahem.

Love love love the pictures! I agree with Mona–you should leave stuff in there for the contractors to find. Like, maybe some Tucks and a pack of matches.

I think you should tell the contractors/foreman that, in light of all the things being left behind, you’re starting a Lost and Found box for any future misplaced items and they can be claimed upon proper identification. . .

There are several houses where I live that have oddly decked out mannequins in their windows. I’m guessing that artists live there. One guy has a silhouetted mannequin he rotates from window to window…I’m guessing he thinks it helps with security (thieves will think someone is home?). If I were him, I’d just have an enormous dog bowl/bone on the front porch.

Maybe it’s a west coast thing. I’m in Vancouver, BC.

Mannequins = More Creepy. Way.

Riley = Infectious Laughter. Seriously. I’m pretty pissy tonight and he just made me laugh. Well done, Baby!
