Have you been to see Toy Story 3 yet?
Neither has she...
...but she wanted to demonstrate for you
...the many ways your 3D glasses can be worn...
...after you return home.

The Inquisition
The "Christmas Tour of 2009" had ended with a snowy trip home late in the evening. My Man and I were attempting to get awake the next morning. Kate, in bed with us since 7:00, was helping. She reached across my sleeping face to rub her father's.
"Daddy, you need to do a lot of shaving today."
"Um hummm," said her almost awake father, "I've got to get a good shave today because I've got a hot date later."
Continuing to rub her hand on her Daddy's chin she asked, "What's a hot date?"
"Mommy and I are going to go to dinner and a movie tonight."
"Oh. I like the candy they have at the movies. It's very good. Is Ms. L going to watch me?"
"Yes."
"Will she watch Cole and Meg too?"
"Yes."
"Are we going there or staying here?"
"Here."
"When are you going on your date?"
"Late this afternoon."
"Is it almost afternoon?"
"No."
"Can we have donuts this morning?"
"Not this morning."
"How much longer 'till afternoon?"
And with that we decided to begin the day.

Last Day of School
Ahhhhh......another year of school, formal school that is, is complete. I promised the children that when we finished studying World War 1 that we would be finished for the year and today the Armistice was signed! Following a happy, carefree afternoon of non-schooling, we celebrated by taking in a movie.
Up! was great fun. We had forgotten that it was a 3-D movie and the cool glasses added to our enjoyment. Darrin even got to join us. My favorite part of the movie was when the main character realized that to have worthwhile memories one didn't need to have lived a spectacular life, one needed only to have lived. He discovered that there was true adventure in the "everydayness" of life, a lesson that his late wife had learned ahead of him. I appreciated the message of the movie especially at the threshold of this summer: Appreciate everything, not just the grand and the planned, but the trivial and the normal, the hot-dogs for supper nights and the steak on the grill nights as well for in between all of the little moments and the bigger ones, life is happening whether I'm paying attention or not!
