One Saturday Morning, or My Kids Are Their Own Nannycam

Last Saturday morning, Tommy and Nic kindly agreed to let us sleep a little bit more (after a fair amount of groggy pleading...). The first hint of why they were so content to entertain themselves came when Tommy woke me up to let me know that Nic had been playing with our video camera. After I finally got up, I uncovered a bit more of the story... thanks to some often creative surveillance photos courtesy of Tommy. Unfortunately, most of Nic's videos were 2-4 second close-ups of his finger and our coffee table. Here are a sample of the photos:
