"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

Spying and Lessons

Last night it got hot enough in our house that M could not sleep. Justin went to work clearing the dead air out of the girls' room by opening all the windows and blinds to full steam. (No, I don't think "full steam" actually works there... after all we are not riding on a cruise ship, but whatever). While he cleared out the air, and before he closed the windows and finally flipped the switch for the A.C. he held M and looked out the darkened window.

Amazing the things you see when you look out a darkened window at 10:30.

Especially when you live next door to an apartment of single UVU students.

Soon enough one of the boys emerged from the apartment with his girlfriend.

Of course, spying is not quite the same with M in tow. She keeps us honest. As soon as she saw our neighbor she began yelling out the window:

"Hi.... Hi.... Hi....."

Our neighbor and his girlfriend looked around, confused. But they could see nothing. So they moved onto the car where a little "leaning" began to take place.
With the change in "action," M determined to change her vocabulary as well.

"Uh Oh"
she said to Daddy.
We're training them young.

That is SO cute! Sorry that it has taken me so long to get you my email. It's devinandcathy at gmail dot com. We definitely need to get together before you leave and before you have Baby Boy! P.S. I love reading your blog - it always brings a smile to my face!
