To Those in the Know

James and I planted a vegetable garden! He thought worms were baby snakes, so I told him they couldn't hurt him. I taught him all about gardens and we planted and watered it together. It was really nice. And then I managed to wrangle a moment with Marie away from Charon. Of course, it did happen to be a moment when she needed a diaper change, but who am I to complain which moments I get?! I'll teach her to garden too, when she's old enough. If she wants to learn.

I never realised teaching your children something was so fulfilling. It's amazing.

Miss Aly came home this afternoon too, and Mara is over with Anna. So James and I are watching movies because gardening makes little boys tired. He's got Errol on his lap and they're so cute!

Okay, where did I put my macho? I know I left it somewhere...

Ah, who the fuck cares?! I'm a daddy!

You could beat me at arm wrestling! Not that that's really a claim to fame, as such...

I love that you had such a wonderful time with our kids, Thomas. James told me all about the vegetable garden. It was so adorable! From what I can gather, he's never had that kind of experience with nature before. I'm so glad you were able to give it to him. And to spend some time with Marie too!

The very thought fills me with fear!

He was so impressed by all of it. He got so dirty! We had to take a shower instead of a bath because the water got so gross Peter would have fainted!!

I know, I'm quite the terrifying individual!

Ha! Yes, I can quite imagine that. The ring around the tub would have been something like the ring around Saturn, I'll bet.

And I meant to say, that's excellent news about Aly. We must visit her soon!

I did mean hurting you!

Ahahhaa gross! Half the garden came in with us. Abby made me leave my shoes outside!

We will! I'm so glad she's home.

Yes, that does seem rather more applicable! Though I am more durable than I look.

I think you're lucky it was just your shoes, there! I could quite see her making you leave your pants or something, too.

Me too, Thomas. I have no doubt it will do a lot of people a lot of good, not least of whom being Aly herself.

I know you are, but so am I.

Heh...

She and Peter can start working on things which is really good news.

[in-spectre-mors.livejournal.com]

True! Which is a good thing, when all is said and done.

Yes, well... sometimes I'm silly.

Absolutely. Seeing Aly and Peter work things out is one of the best things I can imagine right now.

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

Yes indeed!

No, Baby. You're not at all. Incidentally, you know I'd hardly have a problem walking around the backyard in my boxers!

Me too.

Thank you, Thomas. I love you. And yes, you do make a good point there!

I love you too, Baby.
