It's quiet here, isn't it?

Now that I'm back home and have time to start fan blogging again, it is no longer necessary (well, if it was ever really necessary....)...

The crew at KPL has started a Facebook Fan Page SIRIUS XM'S KiDS Place LiVE, which is way more active than this blog ever was.

So head on over there to read the latest and greatest.

Noah and the Great Science Experiment

Noah is attempting to break the world record of a single human wearing the most t-shirts at once.

Each photo, after the initial no shirt shot, represents 10 shirts. You shoulda seen him trying to walk around! It was hilarious!!!! Sort of like a penguin on steroids. He fell over once, and couldn't get back up.









We are shooting for double digits next. I don't know what is more sad, that we are all so hyped up about this, or that we have over 100 t-shirts between Noah, Bil and me! Gonna have to go find some 2XL or 3XL though, if we want to keep going.
