I just caught up on all the blogs on my roll... whew... that was exhausting but now I know what's going on in all your lives again!  I've been out of the loop for way to long!  Now I'm going to go catch up on Perez Hilton... but first...

We have an itty bitty tv in Ellie's room that plays vhs tapes.  We only allow her to watch her movies during play time and one as she's falling asleep for quiet time (what we call nap time). The other day it stopped working and Alice in Wonderland was stuck in the VCR.  This morning I went upstairs with her when she wanted to go play in her room and I sat down to try and dig this movie out of the VCR.  I finally wriggled it out with my pinkies and tried to put another movie in thinking it was the tape that had done it.  Well Lion King did the same thing.  I pulled it out and flipped the lid open to look inside... this is what I found in her VCR...

The little bugger put pencils in her VCR.  It still doesn't work even though I pulled them out.  I really need to bring a flashlight up there and find out what the heck, if anything, is also in there!
