Random Thoughts,

Sometimes, we see just how to vent your frustrations without tears... Kyra wrote this after getting mad at Dad, and the she stuck it to her closed door.. I can just see her "texting" us in later years.

Noelle was drawing a picture (which I can't find now) of 2 elephants - one REALLY big and one really tiny. Each of the elephants were covered in great long lines.. I asked her if they were zebra elephants and pointed to the lines on the big elephant. She replied, "No! Those are wrinkles!!". I said, "Oh, okay. So does the little one have wrinkles too?". To which she replied, "No. Those are shrinkles.."

Last night I was asked, in all seriousness, how people go about having a baby without being married...I responded in what any modern family would say..."People don't need to be married to have babies, of course. They should just really love each other and want the baby together." "Do dogs get married if they want puppies?" I asked her.. She laughed and was happy with that. Phew!

October, you tease...

Judging by the appearance of colder temps you'd think that snow was imminent..but, alas, we don our rubber boots, shoulder the unbroken umbrellas and head out into the rain. Our neighbour's moods are dull and dreary but the sight of happy puddle splashing helps us all drag out of the blah. It's why we love kids. That abandonment of the negative and the focus on the good in anything we're dealt. The only thing missing is worm rescuing. Poor Welly...
