Bliss
I woke up without an alarm (or kid).
Showered.
And am sitting in the rocker watching them both sleep.

First Day of Preschool
How do you want to say goodbye when we get to school? A hug? A kiss? Both? A high-five?
I want a hug and kiss. But outside.
On the steps in front of school?
No. By the car.
...
Unceremonious drop off a success.

Tick Tock
Lets go to Fairyland!
It closes at 4 o'clock.
What time is it?
4:02
Lets go to the zoo!
It also closes at 4 o'clock.
That's weird!
What's weird about that?
They both close at the same o'clock!
Mighty Earthling 2013
Another great year at Mighty Earthling.
Highlights include Garrett discovering turkey feathers on our nature hike, Audrey eating grapes fresh off the vine, dressing up for the Wild Rumpus Creature Disco and having a blast with friends.
Bloodhound
Garrett was happily playing in his room and Audrey was down for a nap. I snuck into the fridge, snagged a little piece of chocolate, ate it in the kitchen, then went into Garrett's room to read the paper. Garrett got up from his Legos and came to chat with me. Mid-sentence he stopped and started sniffing the air. Then he got super close to my face and took a big whiff. "Did you have chocolate?!?!?"
Jeez, I can't get away with anything over here.

Lucky Ducky
"She's pretty lucky, huh?"
"Who?"
"Mia."
"And why is Mia lucky?"
"Cuz she gets to marry me."
"Who?"
"Mia."
"And why is Mia lucky?"
"Cuz she gets to marry me."
Of course:
Audrey finished nursing then went for a walkabout around our room. She came out from under our bed with alien glasses and an empty toilet paper roll.

Oh my.
Garrett sitting on the patio.
"What are you doing?"
"Well, I was trying to play Star Wars but there are no bad guys."
"That's good, isn't it?"
"Well, they are all dead. I killed them with my powerful sword and light saver (sic). And there are their hearts. I cut them out. See them?"

Dreams
"Mamma, I don't think I watched Star Wars when I was little, I think I just had a dream about it," walks over and buries his head in his pillow.
"What are you doing?"
"Oh, I'm just trying to see if my dream is in there, but I think it only comes out at night."

Garrett's Secret
For Mother's Day can we get her gloves so she doesn't pinch herself when she does dangerous stuff?

Goin' to the Chapel
At the school welcome picnic today, Garrett tells me that he is the King and Mia is the Queen.
He then tells me that he asked Mia to marry him, "and she said that's ok! But we are going to be friends before we get married."
•••
Lately Garrett's been asking to marry Audrey. We've told him that Audrey is already a member of our family and when you get married you find a new person to join your family.
Apparently he's been looking.
