Why Matt and I are going to be awesome parents.

This weekend we had some friends stay with us from out of town. They have the sweetest little boy, Benjamin, and are expecting their second child in April. Matt and I have not had the pleasure of having a baby/toddler stay with us before, and since we don't yet have any children of our own, we didn't have any toys lying around (that weren't covered in hair and dog saliva) to offer the little guy. Not to worry though - Matt found the perfect toy for Ben and handed it over to him for his enjoyment:

Note the pointy metal edges.

The next morning, I was keeping an eye on Ben while his parents finished packing up and getting ready to leave. Our time together consisted of pressing the buttons on the scale in our closet, and spending some quality time in here:

In case you're wondering, this was Ben's idea, not mine. He thought Luna's kennel was the greatest thing ever, and had a ball opening and closing the door. He even lay down to take a nap a few times. Luna watched in horror from under the bed.

So - if any of you people with kids need a night out, let Matt and I babysit for you! Or if you just want to borrow Luna's kennel, we can probably work something out.
