  • We were upstairs looking at the crescent moon (Grant is obsessed with it) and Madeleine says to me, "I know what Jupiter is doing exactly tomorrow."  I asked what, and she said he was making cards for his mommy for Mother's Day.  Then she went on to say that he was making lots of cards and was going to hide them for his mom as an Easter egg hunt.  Then she said he was going to go to see his grandma in Seattle.  (Now the making cards and hiding them and calling it an easter egg hunt is something Madeleine was doing today at my mom's house; but the grandma in seattle thing is a bit strange... perhaps it's because we go to see joe in seattle?  we can't see jupiter in the night sky anymore and madeleine has declared that this is because he's visiting his family... his grandma, usually, i think.  anyway, i seem to have forgotten how to capitalize and it's time to put the kids to bed so toodle-oos.)

     

    P.S.  -- Back again.  We went upstairs and did flips and slams with the kids on the bed before Brian put Madeleine to bed.  Then it was time for kisses, and I asked her how many she wanted.  Lately it's always 41, and we usually count by 41s, although sometimes we'll do 10 or 5s or 8s and add on some extra numbers.   Anyway, I asked her how many kisses she wanted, and she said, "41, because Jupiter has a big day tomorrow!"  I think Brian and I both laughed about that, though Brian was pretty clueless about what Jupiter might be doing tomorrow. 

    Anyway, Grant is asking for cheese.  That kid loves cheese.  Gotta go...!
