1. The Rural King ad insert in Monday's paper is a toddler treasure trove. Wheelbarrows! Tractors! Tillers! Boots! It keeps Henry busy for about twice as long as it takes me to read the rest of the paper. Which on a Monday really isn't that long, but still.
2. Tornado sirens sound a LOT louder when they go off at 1 in the morning. We all woke up except James. Henry & I watched Peter go down into the crawl space to get it ready, just in case (this may have involved mouse traps... and some long defunct mice). Henry didn't know the words he needed to say his teeth were chattering, so he came up with this: "My cheeks are bumpy."
3. Currently on my bedside table (i.e., the floor beside the mattress): This and this.
4. I'm grateful to my friend Aubrey for reminding me of these guys, who are so much preferable to Barney when I am using YouTube to buy myself a few minutes' writing time. Relatedly, if Peter were English and liked dogs and stinky cheese, I'm not sure you could see daylight between him and Wallace.
5. Speaking of writing time, I'd better get on with it.
