Yesterday was a beautiful, breezy Southern California day. We put on our new gear from REI and took the kids for a hike around Sweetwater Reservoir, and had a little picnic of apples, cheese, and carrots.
Later, we finished our dinner at a Chinese restaurant, and we all got fortune cookies. Katy's read: "All things in moderation, even moderation."
Our 6 year old wanted to know what that meant. I explained that some things are good if we have just enough, but bad for us if we have too much. I asked if he could think of something like that. "Candy," he said. Exactly.
"But I can think of something that you don't have to have in moderation, something that is always good and you can never have too much!" I said in a sing-song mommy voice.
Jimmy said, "I know! Carrot cake."
