J. Nye, the Science Guy!

On Thursdays, I work from home. We often don't have a sitter so this means I go to work at my normal time (6 am) and JVL takes them for the morning, we switch out at lunch, he goes to work, and I finish my hours during naptime and in the evening. Working from home doesn't really work, though, what with the kids. So I have a cozy little office at the back of our local Starbucks, where all the baristas take good care of me and let me stay as long as I want. It's quite lovely. Many weeks, halfway through the morning, I hear little feet running toward me and then, "MOMMY! We came to surprise you! Can we have some chocolate milk? And a scone? We are on our way to..." It's a wonderful lift.

This past week, Cody said, "We're just going to pick up some stuff at the market but don't worry about it, and we'll probably just use it outside, but don't worry about it!" I looked up at JVL, who was making an effort to look at me with a straight face, and decided there are some things mothers don't need to know. 

Here's what I came home to (you can see the video in JVL's post below). It was absolutely adorable. Though, not outside.
