We're having some trim on our house painted. This has led to some interesting things going on at our house. For example, out of nowhere, a ladder will appear at a window and then a face will pop up. The kids love this. Simeon is really pleased to see new faces outside the window. Hannah likes to run over and knock on the window and wave. Naomi likes to stand on a stool and watch.
Hannah and Naomi also like to go out and watch in the yard. Today, as I was finishing the last couple of things inside before going on errands, I told the girls they could get their shoes and coats on and go into the back yard until I came out. This is not unusual, but having the painters back there makes it all the more exciting.
As we were driving away, Naomi said that the painters had talked to her. "They said, 'Blah, blah, blah...Are you going to help?' So I said, 'No, thank you.'"
Um..."blah, blah, blah"? I think you need to reach a certain age before you're allowed to use that phrase, and 3 1/2 isn't it. But I'm taking comfort in the fact that she politely declined to help.
