Today we went to a clay class directed by Maureen Carlson. She is a great artist, and a gifted teacher. They all loved it! That was followed by a visit to the park. It was in the 70s, but so windy that it was unbearable. Even the kite said, “Heck no!” Here are the musings in my head as today’s events progressed.
****
I’ll have to ask his parents when his last safari was. Sounds like he learned a lot.
[What I thought after TE kept emphatically repeating to his cousins, “But it takes a lot of effort to kill a cheetah. It’s harder than a tiger or a snow leopard.”]
****
Just let them talk, Stephanie. Wow, it must be really quiet at bedtime in his room.
[What I thought last night and tonight as the three younger boys chat on and on and on and on…instead of sleeping. But this is a HUGE treat for TE. I remember all the coverage my sister and I made chatting after lights out…I can’t imagine my childhood without it. Nor without talking so much that it drove her nuts!]
****
Really, a growth spurt. The baby in my belly wants to have a growth spurt now? While I standing in the back of the hardware store with five children?! Couldn’t we have waited till 2 am when I was asleep?
****
My grandmother should be sainted [she raised 7 ].
****
I love my husband [when he walked in the door.]
****
Oh, dear Lord, please don’t let him fall…there’s no way I can get there in time and he needs his teeth! Not to mention, my sister would kill me! [As TE climbed on top of the ONE part of the playground equipment not designed to be climbed on.]
****
Playstation is evil.
****
Wow, these kids are amazing! [all through the day as I smiled, laughed, and awed at them.]
