toes found
Eleanor found her toes yesterday. It's great.
Sophia is going to start ballet in a couple of weeks. She has leotard and she puts on shows for us. She is big on one-legged jumps and spins.
Wade worked a roadie gig today. In the last month he has had face-to-face encounters with both Pattie La Belle and Stewart Copeland of The Police. He loves being a roadie for Jesus.
I had a life coaching session the other night with Kim McMechan. It was encouraging and satisfying. We swapped 'weird sentences you say to your kids' stories. Her best of the day was, "Where are you going with that zucchini?"
We are well. Really well. last summer I was so sick with being pregnant and the summer before Wade was so depressed it is actually really nice to see us again. We taught at Mission Adventures week before last and will do another session in a couple weeks time. It was amazing. It was really nice to have that much fun at MA again too.
As for those who queried for deeper advice on the king sized bed issues of the last blog post, I give you the wisdom of the Europeans (both my Norwegian friends and Swiss friends do this) - King sized bed, two single duvets, side-by-side:
See you later, alligator.

7 tips
Here are some tips I would like to pass on to anyone who would benefit from them.
Tip #1) If you are married and for 9 years your partner (oh let's say, your husband) says you steal the covers every night and you can not convince him it is not a big deal, it is just the way you roll, use your birthday money to buy a king sized quilt for your queen sized bed. In the 10th year of marriage a new era of peace will reign. (Or perhaps, do not wait 9.5 years to embrace the obvious.)
Tip #2) Find a deli that sells really great meat and cheese. Ask them to sell you their cheese & meat ends. You get amazing imported cheese and meat for a low price.
Tip #3) If your 2 year old is having her hair cut and the hairdresser tells you that she has swimmer's hair, pause immediately and think, "Do I care if my two year old has swimmer's hair?" Do not wait to have this thought after you have spent $18.00 on shampoo to prevent swimmer's hair and are in the middle of eating a burrito.
Tip #4) If you add a few drops of red food colouring to whipping cream it turns pink and it makes you feel like you are eating princess food and it just makes you think it tastes better.
Tip #5) Playing hide and go seek with a 2 year old is super easy and satisfying.
Tip #6) If you buy a fresh pineapple and then you cut it up and put crushed fresh mint on it (you can even add a touch of lime juice or brown sugar, but just mint works too) you will be amazed at how great it tastes.
Tip #7) Set a time limit and stick to it when you do stuff. It makes you feel really disciplined, even when you're not. Like I said I would only blog until 11:00 and now it is 11:02 so I will sign off and not re-read this 8 times like I usually do. Only once. I think.
Peace out, cub scout.
