Katie took a car nap today.

We got stuck in traffic on the way home from an errand and this happened:

When we finally got home it was very close to the time when I needed to pick Owen up from the bus so I assumed she would wake up when I turned the car off. Nope. Okay then…when I opened my door. Nope. Okay then…she’d have to wake up when I opened the rear liftgate and it beeped. Nope. Okay, seriously? She’d HAVE to wake up when I opened HER door. Nope. Wow, she was really out.

Snoring, even. 🙂

So, I figured I would just leave her in the car (since I could see her from the bus stop and it was a wonderful 70°)—buckled in with the doors open—and I would be back from the bus stop in about 10 minutes. So I opened Owen’s door so she would get cross-ventilation…and of course that’s when she woke up. And she was, as expected after a too-brief nap, a mess. 🙁

We were reading a new book. (Well, Owen was reading it to me and it’s interactive.) The last page says “Back to the beginning. This way…”
Me: Do you want to read it again? Just flip it back like this.
Owen: I know how a book works!

Owen: Mom, I’m tired. I didn’t get enough sleep last night.
Me: Okay, then you can go to bed earlier tonight.
Owen: What? Why?
Me: Because you can either sleep in later or go to bed earlier. And since you don’t sleep in, you can go to bed earlier.
Owen: Mom, I made a mistake. I’m not tired.

Owen: {something something}
Me: What’s hic?
Owen: Lemonade.
Me: What is hic lemonade?
Owen: Hic. Lemonade.
Me, {lightbulb}: That’s Hi-C.

Katie: Daddy. I had so much fun with my girls yesterday!

Tom moved the recliner into the living room.
Katie, upon seeing it: Just for me????
