Conner is currently addicted to watching Scooby Doo movies and has even taken to the phrases of "Scooby Dooby Doo" and "Jinkies". Is it sad that I actually find these movies to be a little scary? I am afraid Conner is going to be the next Ghost Hunter crew member. Thankfully, all the goblins, ghosts, witches, and monsters in these movies are just people with masks so right now Conner is pacified knowing that it is all pretend. Scooby snack anyone?
Apparently our ceiling has had enough of the "Worst Winter in 20 Years". Tell me does it make sense to have a flat roof in an area that receives rain and snow? I know we are technically in a desert but come on people. We have been dealing with a pesky and determined leak in our ceiling for about the last month. Just when it starts to dry out and our wonderful maintenance men can repair the roof it rains or snows again making the repair void. For about the past ten days we have had a lovely "hole" in our ceiling where we had to have our sheet rock and insulation removed so our ceiling could dry out. It was finally repaired yesterday because we had a break in the weather (it snowed again this morning) so here is hoping it lasts. But the point of this story is not so much that there was a hole but that it was fixed and what Conner said when he realized it. First he sits in our big recliner (directly underneath the new ceiling), "Wow mom they fixed our ceiling." "It's so beautiful." "Thanks Billy and Victor (our maintenance guys)." How neat to hear at this time of year that something as simple as having a hole in your ceiling fixed is so appreciated and so wonderful. I never thought of our old popcorn ceiling as being beautiful before but to a three year old it is truly magical. Thanks son for reminding me to be grateful for the little things and thankful for the service of others and take in the beauty that surrounds us everyday.
