Luke is waaaaay too logical, tough questions + jet lag??
- Luke is killing me with his logic. For example, he said last night, "What does it mean in Moana when her grandmother says, 'Listen to your heart?'" Me: "It means you know what's best for you, and you should do that, not what other people think you should do." Luke: "So why do I get put into time out if I'm just doing what my heart tells me to do?" And also, at the hot springs he was throwing rings and one came close to hitting a woman. Me: "Luke, go tell that woman you're sorry." Luke: "No. You told me never to talk to strangers."
- Zo yesterday: "What are sunsets for?" And if that's not deep enough, today she followed up with, "What is family for?" and "What is love for?"
- And speaking of tough questions, Luke yesterday: "I don't get it. Why does 2 + 2 = 4?"
- Loving spending time with our new neighbors...and a long talk yesterday with a dear out-of-town friend...so lovely...miss her...
- Kids and I have a project for Daddy's birthday...their idea, and man, it is complex. I was telling Jeff last night on the porch a good analogy would be if we wanted to give him a tie, if we sheared the sheep and dyed the wool and made it into cloth and sewed a tie. It's just a little thing but lots of effort. But...we are having a blast...
- The tuck-in song of choice these days is John Denver's "Grandma's Featherbed." In the song, the bed holds 8 kids and 4 hound dogs and a piggy (the kids stole from the shed)...but Luke especially likes to switch it up...the other night it was 8 lions and 4 lambs and a duckie (stolen from the shed) lol...
- New super-soft electric blanket for the porch for imminent cold nights...it is divine...sat outside with my husband last night for the first time since we're back...love love love porch time...
- My sleep's all off with some weird jet-lag-y thing but thankfully the kids are sleeping just fine. We did a 24-hour door-to-door travel day with a red-eye I didn't sleep on...my body's doing weird things like waking up at 4 AM...which is 1 AM Hawaii time so it makes no sense...it is what it is...Hawaii was absolutely amazing, by the way...will post some pictures shortly, probably over the weekend...
Happy Thursday!
XO
