With warm weather comes the inevitable melody of the ice cream truck making its rounds.
The first time it came around the other night, Micaiah looked out the window.
Micaiah: Oh look, Mom. That truck is making music.
Caleb: The truck makes nice music.
And it occurred to me that they have no idea what is actually on the truck. I know it won't last, but it makes us laugh anyway. When the truck came around tonight, Micaiah said, "Oh mom, there's that music-playing truck again." Keith and I just looked at each other and laughed.

A very weird thing happened to me yesterday in the parking lot of Target. I was driving with the boys and...a man whistled at me from his Hummer.
Wait, wait. Let's back up. A man whistled at me?!
My first reaction was to laugh. You see, I am in full-on mom mode 100% of the time. In public, my mind is on high alert. I am making sure two little boys are safe and behaving, all the while trying to get my errands done. The boys are talking, laughing, whining, touching...they're busy. Meanwhile, I look harried and tired, wearing fashions from way too many years ago.
That's why I had to laugh when someone whistled at me.

The other day I was at Walmart with just Caleb. For some unknown reason, I let him out of the cart. He was going from rack to rack.
"Ook, Mom. This is my fav-it."
"Firty dollars, Mom. Only firty dollars."
