Extra Morning Time

K, we had a bit of extra morning time today.

And – well – that idea is so new around here, I just about didn’t know what to do with myself.

We all, of course, took H to her first day of kindergarten yesterday. But not today.

Mom took H to school. And K, I took you.

But two things:

1. H’s school is nearly across town, and K, your school is two blocks away.
2. H’s school starts at 7:45, and K, your school starts at 8:00.

So while mom is leaving the house to take H at 7:25, I can easily get you where you need to go by leaving the house at 7:55.

We created 30 minutes out of nothing!

Since this could become a regular thing, I let you decide what we would do with our newfound freedom.

Naturally, we got in my car and watched Storybots on my phone as we sat in the driveway together.

I’ll take it.

I love you.

Scorpion Hunting

When we went to the beach recently, the highlight of the entire trip was late night scorpion hunting with Grandpa.

First of all, scorpions mostly come out at night.

And second, with a black-light shined on them, scorpions light up at night like little yellow glow-sticks.

So we crept out late into the dark of night with a blue-light flashlight and a BB gun and went hunting for scorpions along the front bank of the house.

You girls loved it.

If I remember right, we killed 5 the first night and 4 the second night.

Good times.

I love you.

Charged By A Dog

Apparently, getting charged by a dog is one of the best things ever.

The other night before bed we all ended up in the floor as Huck went for his toy.

We began to throw his toy for him and, after fetching it, he would sprint back to us in a way that felt like he was going to run into our faces.

Even mom got in on it.

You girls laughed so hard every time Huck ran back to us…

I love you
