The Muppets performing Alice in Wonderland

If you haven't already noticed, Rachael is very into Alice in Wonderland.

We recently were able to get all the DVDs of the original Muppet Show. We discovered that when Brooke Shields was 15, she was a guest star and the whole show was various Alice in Wonderland sketches.

The girls have watched that episode again ... and again ... and again.

It's pretty fun watching The Muppet Show again. It's really not even a kids' show, for the most part. I can't imagine the kids get most of the jokes, but Rachael thinks it's pretty funny anyway.

Yesterday I heard Rachael tell Robert, "Kermit the Frog says, 'Why did we do Alice in Wonderland? We should have done something simple, like War and Peace!'" She gets a kick out of that line, although I'm not sure what it means to her.

What's interesting is the list of guest stars ... from Twiggy to Danny Kaye to Victor Borge to Steve Martin to Joan Baez to Paul Simon to

We're hoping to watch The Muppet Movie later this week:

Use it if you need it .... Don't forget to feed it!
Can you picture that!

Yes, I often think the main reason I had children was so that I'd have an excuse to watch and read and do all the Kid Stuff.

Here's a peek at some of the Brooke/Alice episode.
