Zion chose today's title :)

Here's a pic of Zion and Liel enjoying the Beatrix Potter box set Kay gave us! They love Beatrix Potter stories, and it's very nice to have so many all in a handy box.

We had thunderstorms this morning, and they woke Liel up waaaay too early. As a result she was super exhausted before her morning nap. The kids were having a snack of prunes and I was reading them stories. Liel asked for more prunes (my kids love them some prunes. It's recently come to my attention that not everyone grew up eating prunes- either plain as a snack or stewed with raisins and other dried fruits and spices for breakfast- and find it weird that kids would eat and like them.), so I brough each child 2 more and said that was all the prunes for the day. Liel looked at the two prunes in her hand, shouted "Nooooooo! Threeeeeeeee!!!" and started wailing and howling and crying. Eventually she was able to pause long enough to stuff one of her prunes into her mouth, whereupon she resumed her anguished cries, muffled only slightly be the partially chewed prune. Luckily for all of us she decided it was time for her nap once the prunes ran out.
