Today I told H and E that we have a surprise for them involving their cousins on Monday.
H [excited]: You mean Sawyer?!?
M: Yes, Sawyer and Wyatt.
H: Oh my gosh! He's like the only boy kid who I actually love!

Things I pulled out of H's winter coat pocket

1. Plastic lollipop toy with squishy snail inside
2. My Little Pony
3. Unassembled kitty kat Halloween safety reflector
4. List of "Uneacorns"
5. Multiple mini-stamps
6. Assorted beads and rocks
7. Three tags from a stuffed puppy
8. Three versions of her paper cellphone--one with a keypad, another with a full photo screen, and the final with "facetime" capabilities

The only useful item: an Index card with emergency contact information in case she gets separated from me at a rally
