Sarah requested I make this list and since she's a good little blog reader I acquiesced and have presented eight things about my children you may not have known. 

1.  Will's favorite meal in the world is "Wilson Pasta" which is something I throw together to get rid of leftover vegetables and noodles. 

2.  Gigi gave herself her nickname because she couldn't say "Reagie" like the rest of us.  To be honest, I like Gigi a whole lot more than Reagie.  Also our neighbor from Turkey has called her Gigi for the last year and a half. 

3.  Will always wants to be some obscure character for Halloween - usually the hero from a cancelled Fox tv show.  Last year he wanted to be Fry from Futurama.  The year before that Captain Malcolm Reynolds from Firefly.

4.  Gigi sings and dances all of the time.  Always.  It's sort of like having your own little Broadway show.  Or Vegas showgirl treat, depending on how she's singing and dancing.

5.  Will is really interested in bugs.  He loves learning about bugs and as a bonus I get a helper in the garden.  Last fall we raised butterflies in a kit we ordered.  It was really neat.  But it was really sad to let them go.

6.  Gigi is a neat freak.  She insists on having a wet wipe in each hand while riding in her stroller so she can clean the wheels of the stroller as she rides along. 

7.  Will soaks up my archaeology and Egyptology books.  His teacher was extremely concerned because during "Free Art" he was drawing "a lot of dead people" and told her the jars next to her held their organs - except for their brains because those were just thrown out.  I had to explain to her that he wasn't a disturbed child, just a budding Egyptologist.  She seemed only slightly relieved. 

8.  Gigi has been too quiet for a little too long just now...  That means something is in the process of destruction.
