Things kids say

Today's kid quote, from Jamie in the car as we took Maggie to piano lessons:

"Mama! It's raining!" me: "Yes, yes it is". Jamie: "Could you turn it off?"

No, sorry dear.

Of Flat Stanley and new lights

Thanks for those who posted offers for Maggie's Flat Stanley. Grandma Maggie asked to have him, and she'll bring him back when she visits us next month, so that's where he's going.

I have a question - I want to replace the light fixture that's in my foyer. It's annoyingly high and requires renting a special ladder and having a terrifying climb to replace bulbs, so it usually isn't working. I've bought a new fixture I want put up, and I want it put up significantly lower, so that I can reach the lightbulbs from a stepstool. Probably about the height of the one in the living room.

How do I find somebody to hire to do this? What do I go look for?
