"Oh my gosh you're getting heavy!"Lennon huffs dramatically as he playfully runs around in the living room with a giggling and squealing newly turned three year old Preston hanging onto his back. "It must be because you're three now! It's only been two days since you turned three and you're already so much bigger!"

"Daddy, faster!"Preston squeals with an even louder giggle as Lennon begins to sprint towards the kitchen where Nora is unloading the dishwasher and humming quietly to herself as the bluetooth speaker lulls some quiet music that fills the kitchen.

"I'm gonna crash into mummy!"Lennon warns as Nora looks up from her bent over position as she holds a glass bowl in her hand, an immediate smile crossing her face as she watches Lennon and Preston approach her.

"Don't crash into me! I'm just minding my own business,"Nora giggles, setting the bowl down on the counter before holding her hands up in innocence, one of them gripping onto a dishtowel.

"Mmmmwah, I love you,"Lennon grins cheekily as he leans in to press a kiss against Nora's freckled cheek.

"I love you too, Mister,"Nora giggles, reaching out to cup Lennon's chin, giving his whiskers a little scratch as she scrunches her nose at him.

"Prestie, can you give mumma a kiss too?"Lennon asks, turning his body slightly to allow his son easier access to Nora. Preston puckers his lips cutely as Nora leans in, cupping both of his rosy cheeks in her hands and pecking her lips against his.

"And I love you too, Little Mister,"Nora gushes, swiping back Preston's hazel curls with her palm with a little wink directed towards him that makes him giggle. "Where's Park?"

"I dunno? Last I saw him he was in his room playing with his army men,"Lennon responds with a little shrug as he hoists Preston up higher on his back, feeling his little boy's grip tighten around his neck.

"Lining them up?"Nora guesses, raising her eyebrows with a little grin and knowing she's right as she licks her thumb and reaches it towards the corner of Lennon's mouth that has a bit of ketchup collected there.

"Lining them up,"Lennon confirms with a little snicker, turning his head to kiss her thumb, "just like he has been doing for the past four hours."

"He's so funny,"Nora chuckles, shaking her head as she sets the dishtowel down on the counter and hikes her large circular glasses up further on the bridge of her nose. "You're getting Hugh today, right?"

"Yeah, I'll leave in a few minutes,"Lennon confirms, glancing towards the microwave to check the time to get an idea of how much time he has before he has to leave to pick up Hugh from school. "I've gotta stop by the store after as well, do you need me to pick up anything for you? I noticed you're running low on tampons when I was looking for a new razor this morning...?"

"No, I haven't started mine yet this month, so I should be good,"Nora shakes her head with a little shrug, resting her hips back against the kitchen counter. "Can you pick me up a tomato, though? I need one for the tacos tonight."

"Yeah, of course,"Lennon agrees, turning his head behind his shoulder to look at Preston who has the biggest grin settled on his face. "Alright mate, I gotta put you down so I can go and pick Hugh up from school, okay?"

"Go play with Parker, 'kay?"Nora instructs, ruffling her fingers through Preston's curly hair as he nods and runs out of the kitchen and towards the stairs.

"Why're you looking at me like that?"Nora asks with a little smirk and a questioning gaze, one of her eyebrows raised while Lennon continues to look at her from a few feet away, a cheeky grin on his face.
