2nd, we've been running the humidifier for the boys every night and the first night they were pretty congested so they needed it and no one said anything. the second night both of the boys seemed scared to death about it and kept telling us not to turn it on. when i asked why they said "cause the fire will get us!" so we explained it's not a fire, it's WATER and it's not gonna get anyone. they were so afraid to come close enough to feel for themselves that it's just water, but we finally convinced them and then couldn't get them away from it cause it was way too much fun to get misted in the face. fast forward a month or so and miles is coming up with a million excuses to not go to bed yet...he has to pee, he has to poop (obviously can't say no to that), he's too hot, he wants a kiss, he needs a hug, we need to say another prayer...finally he comes up with, "can you turn the fireplace on?" joel and i are exhausted and i turn to him and ask, "fireplace?" obviously we don't have a fireplace and even if we did we definitely don't have one in the boys room. turns out miles was referring to the humidifier once again. what a silly boy!
3rd, my new favorite disney movie is hercules. i don't ever remember seeing it when i was younger and whenever i thought about it it was completely unappealing. but miles always talks about it and when my neighbor signed up for the disney movie club i got a free video so i gave in and got hercules. turns out i LOVE the music and it's a pretty cute story. so if you haven't seen it (in a while) i recommend it.
