"Moozie!"

Every morning of this summer, 

Cate has woken up and announced she wants a "moozie!!" (smoothie) for breakfast.

A banana, berries, Greek yogurt, kale or spinach, and a little of my own, homemade applesauce - from apples we picked last fall - just to sweeten it up.  

How could I say no?

8:42a.m.

Today at 8:42a.m.

Cate was reading books in her bed.

Nick was taking a nap.

I was watering the plants.

And Sadie was checking to see if I'd left the door open so she could sneak inside.

My Mr. Nicholas

This is Mr. Nicholas.

Mr. Nicholas did not sleep last night.

So now Mr. Nicholas is hanging out in a basket full of warm-from-the-dryer clean clothes while I fold laundry.

Here's hoping he doesn't pick this exact minute to spit up.
