The girls slept until 8:30 Alaska time this morning! Caviar dreams! Maybe it’s a new trend…maybe every Saturday….
Our latest project has been helping the college to bring our kitchen to code. We repainted the kitchen–Zoe rollered some of the walls herself, requesting we do the mud room in purple and pink. We decided on moss green. In the spirit of do-it-yourself, I picked up an Ikea ceiling fixture for the kitchen for $2.00 at a garage sale and installed it–needless to say, the reasonably priced fixture was unreasonably gigantic. Zoe and Anna came to the kitchen to look at the fixture and Anna was silenced into finger sucking, and Zoe shouted “Mama, what is that?!” Astounded by the appearance of the 400 watts of candle power, Zoe said “that is as big as a boat!” She knows boats, seeing as we live on the harbor.
Mike, evacuated the house for higher ground, since the fixture was so low and noted due to its size posed “a hazzard for the children.” There was a temporary safety zone established in the kitchen and the children were prohibited from getting close to the fixture that he affecionately named “the alien.” We had to take the alien down and all the excitement has passed, so we put up holiday lights.
Finally, the appearance of Goo-goo. Zoe has been aching to be a baby. Anna is in full tilt toddler and Zoe wants back to the good old days. Goo-goo is Zoe’s pretend dog friend, who is sweet baby puppy. Thankfully potty trained, and frightfully well-behaved.
