April

Highlights:

Kaitlyn had some friends over to go roller skating after her birthday.

Gretchen turned 10.

Pascha happened. I might have played with the Adrian Symphony during Bright week? I don't remember for sure, but it's a distinct possibility.

I went to Nashville with some friends for a 40th birthday party. I never listen to country music, so I had to study, which consisted of listening to a country music playlist on spotify while doing long runs. I also bought jeans for the first time in a decade.

Bonus Post: Sound Bites 67

Theodore: When I eat my birthday, then I'll like dragons.

Kaitlyn: Mr Miroglio, not trying to be mean, but you look like the king in this movie.
Anthony: I look like a king? Is he handsome?

Kaitlyn: He has glasses and a beard.

Anthony: So, handsome?

Kaitlyn: ...He looks like you.

Theodore: I want this car to turn into something while we're in it.

Me: What should it be?

Theodore: A playground.

Matthias: Mom, are you ever going to get another baby.

Me: Probably not. Do you think we need another baby?

Matthias: Yeah, to play One Night Ultimate Werewolf.

Theodore: If we don't wrestle then the monster will kill us with fire.

Matthias: I want to take a shower.

Me: I thought you didn't like showers.

Matthias: I do like them. I want to take a shower.

Me: Okay. Turn the water on and when you're ready pull up the plug.

Matthias: *pulls up the plug and panics*

Me: *turns the water off* What's wrong?

Matthias: It got my head wet. I don't want it to get my head wet.

Me: That's kind of the point of showers.

Matthias: ...

Matthias: *forlornly* I don't want to take a shower.

Theodore: When we bless louder, we have to build rocks so they don't touch. Not in here. Just out with the birds.

Matthias: My belly's dead.

Theodore: Mom, soon you're going to get bigger and then you'll be a daddy.

Me: I'm going to be a daddy?

Theodore: Yep. Soon everybody's going to get big and be a daddy and break the house and all be daddies outside!
