Still Joyful

Fire

Just a few minutes ago, Levi was rubbing 2 popsicle stick together trying to make a fire. On the recliner. This is the resulting conversation:

Me: Whats going to happen if it catches on fire on the chair?
Levi: I'll just blow it out!
Mesa: That will make it bigger.
Levi: Nuh-uh (giving her the "duh" look)
Mesa: Fire needs air like we do. It makes them bigger.
Levi: Stop watching so much smart tv!

He continues to rub them together and Mesa shines a flashlight on it for heat.

Levi: I smell fire!
Mesa: (sniffing)
Levi: Hurry, let's get outside. There is more air there!

How many?

This morning I had to run some errands. One of those was to stop at the dollar store for paper plates and dish soap. I happened to look over while I was in the checkout and saw a display of Halloween candy. And I remembered that Olivia was talking about Tootsie Roll Pops lat night. We had watched one of the old commercials on YouTube where the owl was going to find out how many licks it would take to get to the center of a pop. She really wanted to try it.

She chose a chocolate one and went at it. Mesa, Levi, and I all had one as well. But none of us had the patience to lick it to the middle. We all had to take a bite! Olivia did it though!! It took her 179 licks to get to the middle.

We all had tootsie pops for breakfast. Its a good way to start a day! :)
