Where It's All Happening

Here at kid central

We've got tai kwan do lessons going, via Sam, who has newly acquired "gear" for such activities (thanks a lot honey ;o)

We've got apology hugs that turn into head 'nuggies'

We've got weather drama due to a torrential, violent thunderstorm this evening which caused no small amount of street flooding. Sam's take on the trapped cars in the water a block away...

"there's drama over there!" His most favorite thing in the world, by the way, is this very kind of "drama" ~laughing~ nervously

Our horses, I mean children, are wired due to above storm - bedtime was interesting tonight...enough said ~smiling~

dear peanut patrol,

your mom loves you dearly...however, I feel the need to point out a few things so as to smooth our way through the remainder of a fun-filled and relaxing summer - indulge me.

1. When I say to change your underwear I do not mean, despite my lack of clarity here apparently, to turn the current pair inside out.

2. Your sweet voices do have levels below the "ear-split" range and I promise you I will hear you if you talk at these lower levels AND you might even gleen extra stories and other fun activities out of me before bed if I am not nursing a headache. Something to think about there.

3. Cherries are delicious summer fruit, and as fruit this means they are food, and as food this means they are for consumption through the mouth to the tummy NOT slingshot material or cat bait. Or other.

4. And last but not least...the last time I checked, fruit loops, treat though they are around here, are for breakfast NOT for breakfast, lunch, snack, and dinner and bedtime snack.

Love,

Mommy
