Lullaby š¶
When you tell the Amazon echo dot to make an announcement, it will sometimes preface your announcement with a sound. We knew this from announcing ādinner time!ā which is preceded by a dinner bell ringing.
Last night Jake and I were sitting at the table with the boys (the girls were in bed) and we could hear noise from upstairs that didnāt sound like sleeping. Jake told the echo dot to announce, āgo to bed.ā Little did we know, that phrase triggered a gentle lullaby tune before the ādad voiceā announcement, āgo to bed.ā The four of us looked at each other couldn’t stop laughing.
Fatherās Day 2020
I put together a collage of pictures with Jake holding the Shecklets as newborns.
Bittersweet day. Itās hard to not feel Astridās absence.
Dad quotes
I’m going to file this under “Things I never imagined I’d hear my husband say.”
“That is applesauce, not mouthwash.”
Spoken to one of the Shecklets at lunch today.
The Hobbit
Jake took the boys to see The Hobbit (as a play) at the Stages Theatre this morning. Both were very excited to see the book āliveā in stage. Shecklet #2 was wondering if they would be using metal swords during the fight scenes.
1st snow of 2016
Heavy, wet snow fell yesterday afternoon and evening. Shecklets 1 & 2Ā helped me shovel the driveway and then played outside, built mini snowmen and wrote letters in the backyard snow. Then, this afternoon, Jake and the boys added white lights to the green and red lights on the pine tree in the backyard.
