Late night

I made another pumpkin cheesecake today, for Dan to take to a heathen gathering this weekend. We'll miss him, but I figure I'll let the girls eat pizza and watch as much Pink Panther as they like. They sure do love them some slapstick.

Anyone know of any good movies with lots of slapstick (which is the funniest thing in the world to a 5-year-old) but still, well, good movies? They also love the Stooges, if that's any help :).

Damn it, I am just having a hell of a time thinking lately. Thus all these rather dull and well-spaced entries :).

Friday night

We now have an ex-hamster. :( Elder daughter is all right, she's sad of course, but she knows they don't live a long time and she's had him for quite a while. She doesn't want another hamster--maybe mice, or maybe those miniature hamsters (hard to imagine a smaller hamster...)--which is understandable. He was a decent hamster. I guess we'll be having a hamster funeral sometime this weekend, which will be much easier since the ground hasn't frozen yet. (Wouldn't have enjoyed storing him for a spring burial...)

Right now she's making popcorn for them to eat while watching a Pink Panther movie. We watched Arsenic and Old Lace first, which I enjoyed but which 5-year-olds can apparently take or leave. Earlier I made banana pudding, but it's not chilled enough yet, so popcorn it is. I've made chocolate banana pudding before, but never the traditional one. (And actually, since I skipped the meringue, this one isn't exactly traditional either. )

Because, you know, domesticity appears at random moments. :)
