Giving my youngest (the only naturally early riser in the house) permission to make a batch of “oozy slime” without supervision was a bold but foolish bid for a few more minutes’ quiet this morning. Kitchen now looks like The Cat in the Hat Comes Back.

My son got Lego’s “Planet Earth and Moon in Orbit” for Christmas. He’s happily (mostly happily) toiling away at it this morning and we got curious about how accurate it is. Found this awesome blogpost from @jpshoer and now the entire household has learned several new fascinating things (including that the model is a lot more accurate than I would have thought possible)! https://josephshoer.com/blog/2024/06/a-spacecraft-engineers-review-of-lego-42179-planet-earth-and-moon-in-orbit/

Friday after Thanksgiving, husband and I are standing at the kitchen counter, sharing the last piece of pecan pie, and our 10yo suddenly wants permission to boil the bone from his turkey drumstick.
Us: Why???
10yo: I want to keep it, like a souvenir!
Us: 👀 👀
10yo: I thought it could be a new tradition!
So now there is a pot on to boil, and plans to bake the bone on low heat for a while afterwards… Is that even the right approach? I’m just making this up as we go along.

Heard the remembrance cannons going off and now I’m thinking about how through most of my life I had only ever heard the first two stanzas of In Flanders Fields and thought it was a pacifist lament about the futility of armed conflict. But the third stanza twists it into a jingoistic exhortation.
