Mommy’s lips

Well, today will hopefully be the last day of planting on the Ronnevik farm. Good thing too, because my vegetable garden is not planted yet, and I need Knut’s help. (Last time I planted by myself I planted crooked, so Knut says he needs to “help” me this year.) We are looking forward to hosting my Aunt Anne Marie and Uncle Tom from AZ this next weekend while they are in town for Anne’s class reunion. As the first trimester is shortly over, I’m slowly getting some energy back, so I have a lot of projects around the house that have desperately been needing some attention! With me being so tired, and Knut working such long hours, we have both slept so heavily at night. This morning Knut didn’t have to be at work early, and we were planning on sleeping in until 7, when the kids usually wake up. However, they woke up at 6:30, so we offered to cuddle with them in bed while we were still waking up. They were so active and we couldn’t even open our eyes! David has a habit of going over “vocabulary” words when he first wakes up, as he points at things and tells us what they are. He also likes finding things in common with people. He told Knut that he had a nose, and then showed Daddy that he had a nose too. Low and behold, even Mommy had a nose. David then pointed out his lips, and saw that Daddy has lips too! Daddy said, “and David, where’s Mommy’s lips?” “They’re outside.” David said simply. Knut and I pried our eyes open and looked at each other as we were trying to figure out what he just said. “David, where’s Mommy’s lips?” Knut asked again. “Outside!” David proclaimed loudly. Knut asked again, and this time David went out to window and pointed out to my flower garden. Pointing right at my tuLIPS he proclaimed again…”Mommy’s lips!” Well, Knut and I got our laugh for the morning, and Knut predicted that the story would end up on our blog today. I guess he was right.
