As I’m drilling holes in the wall to install wire shelves in Kyle’s closet…
Ian: Careful, Daddy, don’t hit the tubes!
Me: What tubes?
Ian: The tubes inside the wall!
He may not know what they’re called, but I’m pretty sure he’s the only 4 year old in the world who not only knows about conduit and plumbing, but knows hitting it with a drill would be a bad idea. He may also be the only 4 year old who loves watching HGTV, and I’m pretty sure the two are related.
Our new Pinewood Derby cars are finally complete, after about 1-1/2 months of work. I did the rough shaping and painting, but Kyle and Ian both picked out their designs, sanded their cars, put on stickers, and hammered on the wheels. They look pretty nice, now we just have to wait until February to see if they drive nice.

We’re sitting at a local restaurant waiting for our dinner.
Ian: I want orange juice!
Me: I don’t think they have orange juice here.
Ian: Yes they do. Look! (he points to a pitcher of beer on a nearby table)
Katra: No, honey, that’s not orange juice, that’s beer. That’s only for mommies and daddies.
Ian: Oh… I love that kind of drink.
Katra and me: (exchange concerned looks)
