How You Know You Are Acing The Mom Gig

Lorelai: "Mom! Addy almost hit me!"

Me: "Well, get back to me when she actually hits you."

Peeping Addy

Chris: "Ok, I'm going to go take a shower now."

Addy: "Ok, I'll watch."

Chris: "What?! No!"

I laughed for a good, long time.

Birds

For some reason, Lorelai has a fascination with watching birds. She is terrified of getting pooped on, but watching them from afar delights her and Adalaide.

Lorelai has come up with names for a clusters of birds doing different activities.

If the birds are flying together in the sky, it's called a "bird show."
If they are all perched on a power line (and singing) it's a "bird church."
If there is an especially large group of birds flying it's called a "bird finale."

If a lone bird is sitting by themselves it's called "bird alone time."
This one is most amusing seeing as Lorelai (from a very young age) says she need "alone time" quite often...she's passed this trait off to animals too.

They don't know it yet, but I have ordered a painted wood plank with birds sitting on wires. It will say "bird church." Our family will love it, and our guests will be very confused. ;-)
