Did you know that every bird that is sitting down in Australia is laying an egg?  It is an amazing and not widely known fact.... Coop cracks me up sometimes. A lot of the time actually.

We have concierges in our building and we have gotten to know each one of them and their personalities. Some are GREAT with the kids others, not so much. Our favourite (here we go with the Australian spelling again) is definitely Darren. He is about 25 with short, dark hair that is spiked a bit on top (this is important momentarily). He is the morning guy and he always greets the kids by name and he humours Cooper with all of his questions and ideas.  We brought him some homemade cookies the other day and he did the whole get super excited for the kids thing. So the other night, Coop got out of the bath and looked in the mirror at his new haircut. His hair was a bit spiked on top and he said, "I look just like Darren!"  Too cute.

Speaking of the building we are living in-- a scary thing happened yesterday. Tuck and I were out on a walk and came back to see the building cordoned off with police tape and tons of police cars and ambulances parked in front.  It turns out someone jumped from one of the windows. I do not know any details, it was very freaky and sad. Really do not want to know any more than that....

On a lighter note, I am making some Chicago style deep dish pizza tonight (thanks for the recipe Karen). I hope, hope it tastes good. I am still trying to find the right ingredients and make the right conversions when cooking.  So far Coop has told me dinner smells like candles and something yucky and something yummy. I am going for the yummy idea.

Tucker is mending slowly. The green elevens are still there and he is still cranky (yes Tucker is cranky), but I think he is getting better. If not, we will head back to the doctor and reassess the situation.

Pizza update- I did not have the right pan so the crust was WAY too thick and did not have much flavor and I did not like the sauce, but the recipe has potential. I am thinking about putting butter in the dough instead of oil- any thoughts?

Doug is off to Singapore again for two weeks so we are going at it alone again, but this time I found a great sitter to help out.  We met her last week and the boys already love her.  I am so happy!

This is kind of a lame blog entry so I am going to end it here. Hopefully tomorrow will bring some excitement for you all to read about.  :)
