Happy Pi Day
Reading
Six yards of compost
Maybe the best part of this week
I guess it was mud pie day at school today
No matter how tidy it is at the beginning of the week,
by Friday the coffee table always looks like this.
From the other room I heard a bump:
Bax: “OWWW!” Me: “What happened?” Bax, rubbing his behind: “I was carrying dees inst-er-ments and I slipped!” Me: “You were carrying those instruments, and you slipped and fell on your bottom?” Bax: “No, on the floor!”

Glazed rainbow carrots
Amelia helped me make these by peeling them, picking the fresh thyme off its stems, and pouring the orange juice into the pan for the glaze. She really enjoyed them until the end of the meal, but it’s a dessert day so she finished them despite not enjoying them for the whole meal.

Conversation in the car on the way to dinner:
Baxter: “When’s Amelia going to be three?” Me: “Amelia’s already been 3; she’s 6 now and she’ll be 7 next.” Baxter: “Are girls be three?” Me: “Yes, girls and boys both turn three.” Amelia: “Baxter, everyone in the whole world has been three. (pause) Well, unless they died when they were one or two.”
