Lunar eclipse

Last night there was a lunar eclipse and we promised Hunter that we'd wake him at 1 a.m. so he could see it.  I was in bed and woke up to him right next to my face saying, "Mom!  Wake up!  You're going to miss the lunar eclipse!"  John was up and woke him.  He was so excited....talking and talking in the middle of the night, running around trying to find a camera to take some pictures, etc.  Then he said, "I have GOT to share this tomorrow at school.  Emergency share!  Mrs. Lo Duca sometimes allows that if it's an emergency."

Dinosaur Problem

So it's always inevitable that when I am deep in thought at the computer researching something important that my boys are interrupting me every 30 seconds informing me such things as, "Mom!  Brody won't let me have a turn with that dinosaur!"  or "Mom!  Brody STILL won't let me have a turn with that dinosaur!"  You get the idea.  So today it happened again and I told them (as I often do), "Tyler, you are a big boy.  I know you can handle that problem on your own.  You don't need me for that."  About 15 minutes later they both came over by me and when I looked at them and saw their sweet, innocent, soft-skinned little faces I told them, "I love you boys so, so much!"  They both smiled very big and Tyler replied, "Even though we talk to you too much?"  I had to burst out laughing at that one.
