I love that she reminded you of it. The trouble is, from way up here it looks easy! But I would not find it easy to spend an entire afternoon in a turquoise hand-me-down Care Bear costume, as Lily did today.

Wonderful, wonderful books about ordinary kids doing ordinary stuff. Those are some of my favorites, too!

You know our sons are a year apart, almost to the day. So I feel your pain on the tween-ness. Nikolas has gotten to become a bit sullen, sometimes a bit fresh, often withdrawn and morose. I see an EMO kid on the horizon (and lord knows his mother is EMO). He called me today and I was laying in bed, napping, and he said "Whats wrong with you? You sound like a moody teenager?" I laughed and said "You would know.." He laughed and said "Exactly.." Noah and his tween-ness made me chuckle. You know our sons are a year apart, almost to the day.

I either have to PROOF-READ my comments or just not read them after I post. Why isn't there an edit button for comments on blogs? Sigh.
