Impromptu brewery tour, sleep tuck-ins make me happy + the kids are making the strangest lunches these days

1. Our artist friend Julia and her daughter Enya invited us to Butcherknife Brewery last night where Julia was painting for them...only in Steamboat can you have 5- and 7-year-olds coloring in coloring books at the bar, lol. Love how kid-friendly everything is in this town. They also took the kids and I into the back to check out the brewing operation...they were shoveling used hops out of one of the vats... "Smells like dog food!" Zo said... kind of cool to see the mechanics of what goes on there...
2. A couple days ago we let Luke and Zo get a donuts-with-chocolate-dipping-sauce dessert. "It's like hot chocolate," Luke said, "Only donut-ier!"
3. Loving sleep tuck-ins with the kids...snuggling up with them until their breathing slows...each night we alternate whose turn it is...
4. Just the right amount of work right now...
5. Kids are helping to make their own lunches these days. The only rule is they need both a fruit and a vegetable. There's an obsession with "on the side," like Luke's bread and butter with slices of muenster cheese on the side (and, in the same vein, Zo's bread and mayo with slices of ham on the side), and their lunches don't seem big enough to me...but they are eating every bite, so...
