It is my goal to choose something calm and unlikely to induce nightmares when choosing that show. For several years we got away with just turning on “The Goodnight Show” on Sprout. Recently, a rebellion of the older two boys has ensued with accusations of that show being “for babies”, “boring” and the worst offense in my house, “for girls”. Oh the horror.
To squash the rebellious masses, blog-Stedman has purchased some DVDs that have made the boys squeal in delight. They are relatively calm and don’t seem to cause nightmares so count me in.
Last night the show had been set on the TV and blog-Stedman and I were downstairs eating dinner when Rhett(2) came down for a wardrobe adjustment:
It appeared that his police belt was too big and kept falling down around his ankles. I fixed the problem by punching an extra hole in the flimsy belt.
Life at two was great again. He wants to make sure you note the one driving glove and his “camera”. Don’t try to tell him they are binoculars. I am just warning you. He returned upstairs to the TV.
A bit later I went up to check on the boys. I hear hysterical laughter. I walk in to them watching this:
(the episode where Gilligan accidentally has an plastic explosive tooth filling)
I turn to see this:
This:
And this:
Everyone should have such great TV watching costumes.
I love it!
Hands down, Gilligan’s Island is my children’s FAVORITE show. They are 13 and 9.
And now, I will be emailing Queen B, who did NOT take my suggestion to get Gilligan’s Island for her daughter on their 12 hour trip to Florida.
This reminds me of good times hanging with my older brothers and trying to make sense of what Gilligan and Mary Ann and Ginger and the Professor were all about though I don’t think I had a police belt or astronaut costume to wear. Props make memories so much more vivid.
Oh my God…the last one…can’t stop giggling.
I want to come over . . . I love your world.
And Gilligan . . . there used to be good TV. Used to be . . .
Absolutely precious!! What a great set of pics and Gilligan’s Island.. that is good TV there momma!
How adorable. And all thanks to Gilligan. Now you’ve gotta get them watching Leave it to Beaver, girl!
It’s so nice that you’ll have these lovely diaries of your daily life when they’re older–you will so cherish them. It’s the sweet little fleeting moments that you think you’ll remember forever that escape your mind. And by blogging you get to capture them again.
very sweet
Huh. That’s funny…our sons have the same clothes designer. What were the odds? LOL!
LOL! You know, just wondering what’s up with Texas and footie pj’s…it seems to be very trendy. It snowed here last night and my girls don’t wear footies.
Now, I’m intruiged.
