Olivia and Cleo were with us Valentine’s Day weekend. On Saturday night, we were going to see a movie. We were all getting ready to leave the house, and I ran back into the bedroom to get something I forgot. Our bathroom door was closed, and I could hear a sound behind the door. It took me a minute to realize the tub was running. The tub was running? Did Vince turn on the water for some reason and forget to turn it off? He looked at me, mumbled something about filling the tub for some photos he is taking. What? That made no sense. I realized he had something up his sleeve, and didn’t want to ruin it for him, so I didn’t ask any more questions and off we went to the movies. (Hail Ceasar. Brilliant. Go see it.)
When we got home, Vince told me all the water drained out of the tub and he needed to fill it again. What is he doing? He’s filling it with cold water. Okay. Now, he says, come in. I walk into a dark bathroom. It takes my eyes a minute to adjust. What is this in the bathtub that I am looking at? Stars? Glow in the dark stars floating in the tub. And in the middle, a sailboat, anchored and floating . My first sailboat. ❤
