"Serious Tower"

This is what J was excited to see this morning. (Sears Tower). Camp is going to the Aquarium today and I told him that it was such a clear day that he would be able to see the Sears Tower from the road. When I tried to explain "Sears" - he said he'd rather call it the Serious Tower. :-)

S got to go garbage picking last night with Daddy. He's been promising that when school was out they could go - last night was S's turn. She's on the hunt for a drum. I have no idea why.

Daddy dropped her off early (10:30) they hadn't found anything and she was yawning so much he decided she should hit the rack. *He* went out again. :-)

I read Little House to J last night. He stopped me and said "Mom, I'm just going to shut my eyes - but I'm not going to sleep, ok." He was out complete with snoring in less than a page. That little one plays hard - and I mean hard. From the time he gets the cereal down his gullet to the time I *insist* he come in for a bath. The thing is - it's beginning to show. His emotions are at the surface and he's whiny. I *hate* that.
