test time

So today was my first of the 9 tests required to be a professional architect. After taking the LSAT (and being offered the opportunity to take it 3 more times if I so desire), and thinking about taking the GMAT, I've come to the realization that perhaps my talent, my one true gift and calling in this life is to be a taker of tests. Thus in order to develop this talent I've decided to begin by stepping back and taking a good, hard, honest look at the man in the mirror. Join me on an introspective journey as I seek an answer to one of the most important questions of life - who am I? courtesy of http://www.brainfall.com/

If I were Seinfeld character?

You are Kramer. People may say you are a little weird--but weird never hurt anyone! You may dress, act, and enter rooms a little differently than normal people, but that's what makes you so strangely cool and appealing.

If I were a Disney hero?
You are Beast. You are ugly on the outside but those who know you well have learned that underneath your exterior is a marvelous prince. Your warmth and patience are your greatest qualities and they have helped you make loyal friends. Protect your friends well because they will soon repay you in full.

If I were a Disney princess? (just curious)


If I were a Simpsons character?


What animal was I in my past life?

Caitie recently started taking an art class at Gymboree. Right now their theme is "community helpers." this week she learned about firemen. Here are a few pictures from her class...
The instructions were for them to paint a "fire picture". Caitie was concentrating very hard on the task at hand.
The finished product
Each week there is some sort of imaginative play. Here she is pretending to blow out the fire.

We went to the annual festival at the YMCA with David and Kinsey Pistorious and their son Drew. Everyone kept asking where we got Caitlyn's costume... thank goodness for raiding the old costume closet!
