The Mommy Stories – My Mom Blog

Welcome back!

Poor Meg has croup and strep throat. All things considered, she is handling it well. I feel like I’m just waiting for it to move along to the rest of us. Maybe we’ll be lucky and stay well!

After I explained to Ethan that he wasn’t going to marry Megan one day he says, “When I grow up I will drive my car and ask people where to go to find the perfect girl to marry. I will go all over the town and all over the world. After I get married, I will buy a dog and go to work with Daddy and help him.”

We are in Wintergreen, VA to go skiing and snow tubing. So the question is, will we get stuck in Virginia because of the 10 inches expected here tonight? Or, will we be unable to get home because of the snow expected there?

My conversation with Ethan in the car tonight: “Why don’t we float into space?” “What is gravity?” “Why isn’t there gravity in space?” “Why don’t we feel the Earth move?” “How does the Sun stay in the same place?” “Why don’t we fall off the planet when it turns?” Wow!! I hope I answered everything correctly!! I love his curiosity.

Oh no. When I went to get Megan out of her crib this morning, she was crying because she had tried to climb out. She was sitting on the top rail, stuck. That would have been a bad fall. I’m not ready for a toddler bed!!! I’m thinking it’s going to be a long night tonight.

Just finished a great morning of school. And, yes, we’re all still in our pajamas.

Upon hearing we have to go to the bank and post office, Ethan says: “I want to be an Explorer when I grow up so I never have to do errands again. Explorers walk in the mountains and mud.”
