We were driving along in the car, listening to the radio. "Soul Man" was on, and Logan was enjoying it, bobbing his head to the beat. Pretty soon, he asked a question: "Hey, Mom. Why is that guy soooo mad?" I nearly died laughing--"No, Logan, he's saying 'soul man.'" I don't think I'll ever have the same perception of that song again.
In other news, Eric is on spring break this week, and in two day's time, he has constructed a clubhouse for the boys, though Auden just mainly looks at it or sits on the floor of it if you plop him down. I'll admit, I had my reservations about Eric's building a clubhouse for our three year old, especially one that is off the ground (the clubhouse, not our three year old...well, not usually...), but Eric did a pretty good job. And Logan is super excited about it. When he wasn't outside playing in the backyard while Eric was working on the clubhouse, Logan was rapping on the windows facing the backyard, yelling, "Hey, Daddy! Is it done yet?!" He had his friends over today to check it out. They went tearing up the ladder, down the slide, then around the structure itself, then up the ladder again. And now we're wondering A) why the clubhouse had to be built so close to the garden and B) what we'll plant there that could withstand a constant battering of boys' feet... or if we'll even bother planting anything there at all.
