Weekend linkage

Our projects: baby and house.

I did the quintessential Pregnant Woman Thing this week-- at about 9:30 PM, after having a perfectly good dinner and with no reason other than an irresistible craving, I stood in the kitchen and ate chocolate peanut butter ice cream out of the carton. It tasted so good. I felt so terrible afterwards. Well, now I know. :)

Russell Moore on why the afterlife bores us. "Your eternity is no more about looking back to this span of time than your life now is about reflecting on kindergarten. The moment you burst through the mud above your grave, you will begin an exciting new mission--one you couldn't comprehend if someone told you."

Well that's pretty awesome: a Hogwarts constructed of over 400,000 LEGO bricks. "My younger son helped by testing the sturdiness of the buildings, the usability of the classrooms, and he contributed several charmingly wobbly shrubs down by Hagrid’s hut."

Interesting: models and their mothers.
