A Cheerio smiley face--this is what I'm talking about
"I once knew a guy with a wooden leg named Smith"
"What's the name of his other leg??"
I really think that song in Mary Poppins had it right. Lately life has been a little heavy. It has been raining mucho. When I wake up and it's dark outside and then I walk out in the rain...oh Lordy, help me. Makes me want to curl up on the couch in a blanket with a cup of coffee and a good movie. But life goes on in the rain and in the sun.
I have been spending the majority of my awake hours with adorable children. And it is pretty much impossible to not spend a lot of that time laughing as we play with ridiculous toys (cue me thinking about a lady in a recording studio having to use such a sing-songy voice to sing "Old MacDonald" or whatever terrible song the toy plays) and crawl around the house. Imagination is a wonderful thing. Yesterday I played "wrong house". The premise of this is I knock on the door (to one of the rooms inside the house) and an adorable 3 year old girl answers. I ask for someone--yesterday it was "Ted." She says, "wrong house!" Isn't that enjoyable?? We played it for a long time. Ha. We also played "waitress." The highlight of that game was that my 3 year old waitress kept trying to stand on her head so it became a new game--"upside down waitress!" How can I stay gloomy when that is what my life is about? Ha.
Luckily also, I have a boy with a wild and vivid imagination that has pushed me to be much weirder and come up with very strange scenarios a lot of the time in conversation. Life may be heavy sometimes, but it is never never dull. :)
