#light switch

There is always a light switch in a dark room

Jonas loves pulling things out of the drawers, so this morning I put him in the laundry basket to keep him occupied. Playing with my dirty socks is one of his favorite things to do.

While I was taking the trash out this morning, a man doing some digging in the pastor’s yard (next door to us), yelled at me, “Do you all like asparagus?”

“Asparagus? Yes.”

He stopped digging and walked towards his truck. “My wife and I have a bunch. I gave a bag to Mrs. W (Pastor’s mother).”

He gave me a small bag. “We picked it this morning.”

And that’s why we had asparagus with dinner.

Everton, being Everton, couldn’t pull out a win against an already relegated side. At least they didn’t lose; it’s good they drew with Watford and got a point. But this means there’s more pressure on Sunday. Good thing we’ll be at my parents’ house!

My in-laws are coming the last week in May. They want to give us a date night. It would be a great opportunity to see Downton Abbey: A New Era except 1) it’s Mister’s birthday and I’d rather let him do something he likes (for once ) and 2) there seriously aren’t that many movie theaters around here, and I’m not sure the closest ones will be showing it. I’ll see it somehow!!

Little Dude (Mister’s name for Jonas) is getting more independent. He loves flipping the light switches on and off whenever he can reach them. I was getting a strobe light effect while cleaning up after dinner, since he’d climbed onto a package of paper towels in the kitchen. The toddler years are going to be fun…

Have a good night, friends.
