David spent a week working in Germany and then a volcano erupted in Iceland and closed all of the airports in Europe. With canceled flights and no end in site, the boys and I have hunkered down for some real quality time. Olin keeps asking when we're going to Germany (never I hope) and Max wants to watch every low res video on utube of erupting volcanoes...while Olin runs around yelling "me love hot yava." We have tried to spend as much time out of the house as possible and our great friends have taken us in for meals and play dates. This means we've spent lots of time in the car driving all over town. The boys love to fight getting in the car (who's turn to climb in first, climb out first), while they're in the car (over armrests, whose turn it is to sing a song, the volume of the radio)...but with all the screaming we've had some good talks and some funny moments...like Olin and Max belting out Christmas Carols or Train's Soul Sister or yesterday when Max said "Mommy, do you know what Olin wants to be when he grows up? A stop sign. 'cause then can just stand there." I thought to myself, what is the polar opposite of a stop sign? 'Cause Max never just stands there.
Day 12...David's on a plane from Dubai to SFO right now, the skies are about to part.
