Chuck D & Mr. T

Hearing Scottie and Nell say each others names is such a lovely sound.

Charlie “What are barbarians? They don’t listen to their teachers? If their mom tells them to eat grow food they don’t and just eat candy?”

Three plays in three weeks: Race, Good People, and the MotherF*#* With the Hat. All really good. Charlie wants to know about the plays so

At the Corcoran this morning Teddy walked up to an Anne Truitt sculpture and said “I want to hug it.” It almost made me cry. She was such a wonderful friend to have and for Teddy to get something (unsolicited by me) from her work leaves me so pleased. I hope he gets as much as I do from her work. Just please don’t touch it in a gallery.

When I went in to the girls room this morning, Scottie had her bear and doll tucked under blankets in her crib. She was so proud of her good care taking of them. So was I.

Charlie had a sees taste test in class that he recreated in the kitchen by having teddy, me and the babies try sunflower and pumpkin seeds and then tell him which we liked the best. He marked down our votes. Pumpkin seeds won with the boys and mommy voting for them. Nell is now way into sunflower seeds and asks “See. More see.”

Scottie lies in the bathtub with her hands behind her head in a lounge position. She also will sneak into the boys room and lounge in the furry chair in their room the same way. She is so good at relaxing.

The boys LOVE having play dates. They want their friends over all the time and ask to go to friends houses constantly. It’s so lovely that they get so much from their friendships and are so happily sociable.

How did talking about accents get us into a conversation about the birds and the bees?

I’m itching to take the kids horseback riding. Just planned trips to the vineyard (where hopefully they will go to farm camp and just be outside the whole time) and to ashville and sea island where hopefully they will be outside and riding horses.
