Lueken life

 3 Monday stories:

1. At breakfast, Chad was trying to describe daylight savings to my tired little ducks. At one point, quite perplexed, Grace asked "does the world start spinning faster during daylight savings?"

2. Tonight, during dishes, we looked outside to see Claire pulling down her pants. "What are you doing!?" Chad and I shrieked simultaneously and dashed outside to bring her inside. (Now, I'm not saying she saw anyone--say her big brother--peeing outside, but I'm not saying she might not have either. All I can say with confidence is that I've never seen it happen). Chad led her into the bathroom off the kitchen. Then I heard him say, "I guess you'll have to go upstairs." Curious, I headed into investigate and found Sam's socks floating in the otherwise empty (Thank God!) bowl. Why, you ask, would he not just fish out the socks (undoubtedly deposited there by a mischevious one year old), then let Claire go about her business? And who do you imagine he assumed would deal with said socks? I leave it to your imagination.

3. After dishes, Chad headed out to take the last of the Christmas lights off the roof. And, yes, we know that St. Patrick's Day is Wednesday. And yes, I was out in my own front yard with a baby on my hip.
