Almost There

It's the eve of Jenni's return from an almost 4 day trip to Texas, seventy-five percent of our kids are asleep, and I've finally got a little time to reflect on the past few days. Unfortunately, I'm too tired to actually do that, so I'll just summarize with a few quotes from our little adventure.
  • Mayah: Why did you let me have a cookie even though I didn't eat all the food you told me to eat?
  • Me: Can someone put Emma's hair in a low bun? Her dance picture is in 30 minutes.
  • Emma: Did Adam and Eve die in the seventies?
  • Ella: But Gram lets me break the eggs when we make cookies.
  • Me (silently...and numerous times): One, two, three, four.
  • Jeff B.: Snake!
  • Ella: But Mommy doesn't [insert description of anything I did in the kitchen].
  • Emma: Can we dissect the snake to see what it ate?
  • The nice lady working the gate at the Tucson Zoo: Sir, that is your membership card for the Children's Museum.

Glad you made it and I'm also glad we "defended the turf". You live in a stinkin' desert museum!
