Capes

Lukey,
Today at the Wells Fargo drive-up ATM, I let you get out of your seat to sit on my lap and do all of the banking.  You inserted the card, pushed the buttons for my pin number, selected "deposit to checking," inserted the check, and got my card back out.  Our next stop was to cross busy 1st Street and do some grocery shopping at Cub.  You asked if you could just not buckle back into your booster.  I said no because we were crossing a busy street.

Ben,
This is where you chimed in.  Why does Lukey have to buckle?  Why do we have to buckle in, mama?

 I explained that the straps keep us safe in our seats if we get hit or run into something.  Otherwise, I said, you could fly out the window.  

 Ben: Or you could have a cape on.  

Me: Huh???

 Then I got it.

Me: Oh, you could have a cape on?  So you could fly out the window?

Ben: That would be AWESOME, mom.

Milestones

What a year....2020

 My posts these days are few and far between.  Maybe it's because life is busy.  Or because I'm working more.  Or because, as always, I find it hard to keep up with all the moments that I want to etch in my memory and so I get overwhelmed trying to document them here.  Or maybe, just maybe, it could have something to do with 2020 being an absolutely wild and unprecedented year!  Despite it all, we are thriving, still smiling, still laughing, still fighting (I guess a lack of fighting would be cause for concern among 3 kids, right?), and we are definitely still counting our blessings.  My friend Julie and I say multiple times a day "Jesus take the wheel."  :)   Spring 2020 quarantine couldn't have been more awesome.  The weather was gorgeous, the kids were thrilled to be home and playing outside, and we spent almost everyday clearing out our woods, burning (my favorite past time, as many people know), and golfing in our yard and at t...
