It is cooler today, high 80's. Perfect for being outdoors... so we got some planting in the yard done (well... Mark and Matthew did some work, I watched, Lily talked and Laura played). Posted by Picasa

Out of the mouth of babes

We were walking from the car to the Children's museum in the Woodlands on Saturday. The Woodlands Town Center where the Children's Museum is located is across the street from the Cynthia Wood Mitchel Pavillion where there are major concerts held. There were stream of grungy looking teens wandering towards the Pavillion, police and officials everywhere, redirected traffic etc. At one point while we were walking the music started. It was loud and pounding, hard rock. It brought me back to my youth - times I was on my way to all day rock concerts like U2 and Simple minds. Then the vocalist started to scream his heart felt words and Lily said 'There is the sound of a monster'. How precious. She didn't hear music... out of the context of a concert, through innocent ears it really did sound like a monster roaring.
