Get a haircut you hippie

Once Virg's hair was cut, his super powers were gone. He was then chained to the gumball machines at the front of the Kid Cuts store. But Virg cried out to God to give him the strength to exact his revenge on the hair stylists. With a surge of renewed power Virg toppled the gumball machines sending tasty candy everywhere for all to enjoy. Of course, this happened a few weeks ago and Daddy doesn't have the best memory. History isn't an exact science. But Virg did get a haircut.

OK. So now I'm a hippie with a haircut. Now what?

Chef Boyare-Virg... BAM!

You may have heard a famous chef use "BAM!" when he kicks up his recipes a notch. But when Virg is in the kitchen, you will also hear: BLAM! CRASH! KERPLOP! and TOOT TOOT! That last one is a mystery. But the cookies are simply amazing. Cookie cutters to Virg are not really a way of keeping all cookies looking consistent, but more of a general guideline to work from. They are a, shall we say, jumping off point to make the cookie shapes of your dreams!

The secret ingredient is my Mommy doing most of the work.

The once and future king

Someday my son, you will rule all that you see before you. Well not the fridge or the washing machine, but everything made of paper-mache. And maybe not this exact land, but something somewhat similar, and quite possibly less elaborate. But first, you must learn to rule with an iron fist and tread with fuzzy bunny slippers. For the people of this land are small and slightly irritable... and invisible... and imaginary. They like their trains slow and their cars fast. Always remember the future is yours for the taking my son, but we also have the gift receipt if you want to return it for something else.

This is the coolest 'thing going in a circle' I've ever seen.

Here comes Santa Claus... Run, everyone run!

So, here's the story as it was explained to Virg. On the night of December 24th, at 2400 hrs, a Mr. Claus will attempt to unlawfully enter the house. He is impervious to fire, and flaunts this by entering the home by way of the fireplace where applicable. He has the power to read your mind through some unknown process. After he has invaded the privacy of your mind, he will judge you. If you've been good, you will get a new toy. If you've been bad... well let's not talk about that. Now sleep tight my son, and don't let the bed bugs bite. Oh, I'll tell you about bed bugs another night.

A new toy you say? And he'll be entering the house here?

Snowmagedon - Maryland '09

"Everyone just stay calm! I've seen this before on a smaller scale. If we just stay very still, this stuff should just go away." Virg is in for another white Christmas. But let me tell you, the news reports here on the east coast cannot be trusted. They were saying "shin deep snow". Hello! This stuff is up to Virg's waist. How's a little man supposed to traverse this treacherous landscape. Good thing Virg like's a challenge.

Must... Get... To... Car... Toy 'R Us is having a sale!

Everyone

Tis the Season to be Jolly... very very jolly

What do you get when an American soldier in Germany sends a pair of authentic lederhosen and a new German beer glass to friends in America... two very festive fellows. I know what you're thinking, but NO Virg did not drink his first sip of beer from Daddy's new glass. It may be the case that someone's finger accidentally slipped into the glass, and maybe someone sucked an unidentified liquid from his fingers before Daddy could clean his hands, and maybe Virg and Daddy had a good laugh afterwards, but there was definitely no "drinking from the glass". I don't know who is starting these horrible rumors, but that's the Internet for you. Lies! Lies! Lies! (and a shred of truth).

No, no officer, we're fine!

Oh! Check out my leather pants, they are totally leather!

You can't spell Thanksgiving without a bunch of letters.

Sorry Daddy hasn't posted anything in a while. But this isn't a blog for Daddy to complain about his sad little existence outside of his family life. So as an extra bonus for not posting in a while Virg has requested Daddy break the mold and post MULTIPLE PICS! So here you go:

Thanksgiving #2 with the Minnesota Clan.

I couldn't wait to eat the yummy food they made for me!

No time for talking Mommy, there's a lot of mac 'n cheese to eat here.

Oh! Did someone order an extra order of adorably cute?

... stay tuned for the next blog. Virg has some exciting news about the future and why he's going to be getting a new bed a little sooner than he expected.
