Count Chocula

If you grew up in the 80's, you certainly will remember Count Chocula, as well as his contemporaries, Boo Berry and Frankenberry.  All three of these were available for $1.89 per box at the new Price-Rite that opened up in town.  Naomi and I went to check them out on Sunday, and purchased exactly one box of Count Chocula as a special treat.  Split six ways (yeah I had a bowl, too), one box of cereal = one meal around here.

Paul and Joe, as you can see, have decided to try again and see how many days in a row they can dress in head-to-toe camo (the previous record, held by Paul, was 9 days, before running out of clean clothes).  They have more camo gear and clothes than the armies of some small countries.  They even have on camo socks.  I asked Joe what color undies he had on, and he assured me that these, too, while not actually camo-patterned, were of a color that matched the rest of his ensemble.  We're nothing if not fashionable around here.

I think it was an old Army slogan that went "We do more before 9 a.m. than most people do all day", or something like that.   Before breakfast, the boys helped me give Fly a bath ('helped' being used very loosely here).  I guess she was even dirtier than I realized, because she sure is a lot softer and fluffier now.  However, a wet dog, even a clean wet dog, still smells very much like a wet dog.
