…so we let the young ones stay up late to catch fireflies last night.

We relented because it was such a lovely night, a slight breeze promising rain that never arrived and the steady hum of neighborhood sprinklers betting on the Kansas meterological temperament. They had a blast, naturally, but the combination of a late bedtime + hours spent splashing in the local pool was deadly to today's mood.

Today's mood:  Cranky®.

Then I stupidly decided it'd be a good day to move around some furniture/arrange things more conveniently for school (I must move something large and unwieldy at least every 2 months - it's genetic, I'm confident). Bad idea. Spent the morning huffing and puffing when I should have just held them and read to them on the couch.

Ah, hindsight.

So now there are things everywhere and the floors underneath things that were moved need to be swept and I'm tired from moving all these things and listening to the whining about the things in their new arrangements.

Sigh.

We're going OUT. I do believe watching Krispy Kreme make donuts will suit us just fine.
