Five-year-old (happy birthday!): Mama, can I have that oatmeal that looks like a cheetah? Me: overnight oats with chia shall forevermore be known as cheetah oats.

The proper reaction to receiving a wonderful gift! @SW_Messenger Thx for such an amazing series - we are HUGE fans. Borrowed the first couple Keeper books from our library before the world shut down. She has re-read them 12x each and was thrilled w/her very own copies today!
My third grader’s reactions to coronapocalypse: school online: YAY. Piano lessons via FaceTime: THAT’S FUN. Dance studio closed: NOOOOOO. Local library closed: TEARS. Love her priorities! #librarylove
