I’m not sure why, but this has been a long week.

Not a bad week.  Just looooooooong.

Arle is in super-duper question mode these days.  But why?  How?  What is it?  But why?  But who?  How?

Don’t get me wrong…the curiosity is sweet and adorable and all but, gee-whiz, it’s mentally exhausting sometimes.  On the way to a play-date this morning she got on a kick about why daddy works.

Why does Daddy work?

Does Cade’s daddy work?

Does Charlotte and Olivia’s daddy work?

Does David and Annie’s daddy work?

Why do they work?

Where do they work?

What does daddy do?

But why?

But how?

I have a hard enough time explaining to adults what Trav does, but trying to explain it to a two-year-old was much more difficult.

I finally just went with, “He works because he loves us and wants to take care of us.”  That answer seemed to satisfy her for approximately two full seconds.

Worker Bee Daddy and I arranged to have a babysitter come over tonight and I’ve soooooo been looking forward to it.

Hooray for date-night!

We’re going out with two super fun couples and indulging in a little bit of heaven, otherwise known as this:

Hooray for sushi date-night!  I’ll go ahead and admit that I’m a bit of a sissy-sushi-eater, though.  No sashimi for this girl…I stick with the rolls, but it will be delicious none the less.

The rest of the weekend will be spent relaxin’.  Honestly, I’ll be surprised if I even get out of my p.j.s.  Except maybe when we go to church.  I’ll probably get out of my p.j.s for that, but I’m not making any promises.

What do you have planned for the weekend?

But why?

But how?

Where?

But why?
