Cardinals

Wm: I saw a male cardinal today!
Me: How do you know it was a male?
Wm: It was red.
Me: All cardinals are red.
Wm: No, the females are brown.
Me: Hm. Really? I didn't know that. Are you sure?
Wm: Look it up.
Me: I will.
[2 minutes later.]
Me: You're right!  How the heck did you know that?
Wm: [disdainfully] I READ, Mommy.

I went in to check on Wm and make sure he was tucked in last night before I went to sleep.  Afterwards, I went into our bedroom and told Steve that Wm is the cutest angel on the planet when he is sleeping and Steve goes, "yeah...I wish he was asleep all the time."

Steve is off today (he has to work this weekend AGAIN) and I am working from home, so it's pretty rad.  We are going to go play some tennis, go out to a nice lunch, and have some awesome fun (I am planning to spread my 8 hours of work throughout the entire day, so we can enjoy lots of kid-free time).  And, the painters come today to start painting our house!  The pink house is almost history.  Wm lovingly ran his hand down the side of the house yesterday and said wistfully, "I will miss the pink house."
