While I Was Reading

Last week I finally read these.  All three.  One week.  I'm surprised it took me as long as it did, they were that good ... but it's probably time for me to pay attention to my kids again.  Probably.

It's not that I ignore my kids when I'm in the middle of a good book(s) ... I just don't look at them a whole lot or respond to them when they call my name, that's all.

I mean, I still meet their basic needs ... keep them alive and everything, but that's about where it ends. 

Which means they can basically get away with anything while I'm turning pages, like watching Tangled four times a day and having popcorn for lunch ...

 ... or playing hockey in the house, providing they still follow the House Rules:  No high sticking.  No body checking.  No trash talking Strawberry Shortcake ... (it's not her fault you're so bad at hockey!)

They look taller to me this week ... both of them do.

Hmmm.  Must have happened while I was reading.
