Ellie wore her new belt yesterday. Pretty fancy, isn't it?

On Tuesdays Ellie has gymnastics, and I usually take her. That means dinner for everyone is quick and simple. Ellie usually has Kid Cuisine (tv dinners), but Conor's still hungry after that. This time we tried a Hungry-Man dinner (1 lb of food). It seemed to fill him up, but he still needed part of an orange and a dessert. I'm thinking that in about 10 years we'll need to have a bigger grocery budget.

The best part is how offended they both get when Rowan touches the game. I mean, they let
him watch, what more does he want???

Not the best picture of Rowan, but you can see the sign that says "Watch out for the field". Here's the field at the top of the steps. I'm not sure why he insists on playing there. I think it's because no one was downstairs at the time.

Saturday was a beautiful day. Jon and Conor played basketball, and kept score in the snow.

Rowan confirmed my fear that we'll be outside all summer, chasing him.

Ellie and I went to her skating party for school. She was very nervous to go, but had a fabulous time. Her best friend was there, unexpectedly. And they were both wearing hot pink bows. And they didn't even plan it! It was quite possibly the best night ever for her.

These are Rowan's constant companions: some sort of cup, and either a spoon or fork to stir. Careful - it's usually hot!
