We have been doing a lot of work on the house this year (recap to come later in the year), and co-opting children as a form of cheap labor. I’m sure they found this more enjoyable than scooping wet leaves in November, December or January.

Twelve!
Jonah turned twelve yesterday, which is just too unbelievable for me to believe. How can my tiny baby be twelve? I’m not quite sure either.
The night before his birthday we were making plans on where to go for dinner. All the usual places we go to were nixed, and it turned out he wanted dinner at home so we could watch a movie and open presents early. So we had Kidd Valley and chocolate cake and watched Batman Returns. Apparently Eddy remembered what a stinker of a movie it is but didn’t share that opinion, so we sat through 2 hours of eye rolling and overacting with a break in the middle for cake. Grandma and my friend Emily came over and fun was had by all. And he’s 12!
And Now We Are Five
