Thankful for Mermaids & Legos

Noah informed us at dinner last night that he doesn't want to go to college. He thinks he will get a job working for Lego designing Lego kits. We explained to him that a degree in engineering or architecture would probably serve him well in his job prospects.

Not wanting to leave Zoe out of this conversation, we asked her if she was going to college.

"What's caw-lege?", she asked.

"It is where you go to school to learn your job when you grow up.", I replied.

DJ then asked her what she wanted to be as an adult.

Without even a moment's hesitation, she answered, "A mermaid!".

"Oh that is GREAT, Zoe! In order to be a mermaid, you will need a degree in marine biology."

That's me. I'm quick and calculating. And apparently a little controlling. But, I am setting the career path for a future marine biologist, because she thinks she needs that degree in order to be a mermaid.

In our defense, we did point out she would also need to learn to swim. Because life skills are important as well.

And now onto Thanksgiving:

I asked our little engineer and marine biologist what they were thankful for and here is their response:

NOAH: Legos, a family that loves me, muffins (can you tell what we had for breakfast?) and a good, cozy house.

ZOE: a good comfy house (copycat), a blue flag (???), Barbies, a brother, a daddy, a mommy and a Lindy (the dog).

Happy Thanksgiving from the Chaos Family!!

May your day be filled with muffins, Legos, cozy homes, family and a blue flag.
