After good naps from both kids we are
having a late, and silly, evening. Lex wanted to turn off all
the lights in the house and play with the wind-up flashlight
that Alan got him a few weeks ago, so after bath we cleaned the
living room and read stories by flashlight light. It was silly.
And Lex keeps repeating a line from Toy Story 2 (he watched a
bit this morning) and cracking himself up, which in turn cracks
the rest of us up. Alan snuck up on us in the dark while we
were reading stories and scared everyone. Eve grabbed the
flashlight and became a warrior, pointing the light and giving
a very impressive battle cry! Plain silliness all around!

I seem to have lost my quotes bar down the
side (I’ll see about finding it again someday), but here’s a
good one from this morning. “Mom, I love you when you are
making me food,” said Lex as I made him oatmeal for breakfast.
I guess I know my place in his heart. I kissed him on the head
and told him that I love him always.
