We have enough interest that the Peep Show will go on! It will be smaller than previous years, but that is okay. :)
All-O-ver, Ol-i-vore . . . we're learning that Oliver's name has some fun mispronunciations.
Also, ask him what is name is and this is what you'll hear: "My name is Oli . . . Oli . . . Oliv . . . Oli . . . I don't know."
Here I am at SFO. Again. What should have been a 40 minute layover has turned into a 5 hour layover with merely a possibility of getting on the red-eye at 10:30. Flying standby. And if I don't get on the standby flight . . . they tell me my next shot at JFK isn't for 24 hours. Yeah. So let's hope that doesn't happen. And if I don't get on standby, well, there's got to be another way home.
S: Oliver, Is Mom a child of God?
O: Yes!
S: No, Mom is a grown up!
The one night -- ever -- when Micah and I get to bed at 10:00 and could, feasibly, get 9 hours of uninterrupted sleep, Simon wakes up crying inexplicably at midnight and can't go back to sleep, Oliver falls out of bed, and we're all out a couple of hours of sleep. Clearly we need to never try to go to to bed early. It's the only way to get a good night's sleep around here.
Did you know that the moon is as close to the earth as it will be all year? And that it is full? And that because I’m a fun mom, I made a point of taking my children out on the porch in their pajamas so they could see it?
It’s all true. Simon was a little surprised that it was possible to wear pajamas in the out of doors. Oliver was pretty focused on holding my keys and his biscuit, so I don’t think he even noticed that he was wearing a sleeper in public.
And in case it never happens again (you know, the moon being so close to the earth, and full, and the boys wearing their pajamas), I took some pictures.
(I’m just kidding. We do fun stuff like this all the time. Every day. Just not in our pajamas.)
Did you read Goodnight Moon to them as well? What a fun evening. I’m glad Simon has such a sense of modesty. Pajamas outside? I wonder if he’ll ever have a pajama day at school…
That’s so fun, it’s good to go outside in your pajamas now and then! I love looking at the moon, especially when it’s full, close and showing itself off. :0)
