Best thing

Every night at dinner, we go around the table highlighting the "best" thing that happened that day. Seany usually creates an adventure with sound effects and a super hero -- Seany. Ryan will either say something he did -- took a nap, ate lunch -- or go the Seany route. Alex and Andrew try to home in on one stellar moment.

Last night, Alex enjoyed soccer practice because he got to play with the rest of his team.

Andrew announced, "OH! I want to go. The best thing about my day was school. You wanna know why? Lunch. Mini-corndogs."

So glad the school district aspires to improve the palettes of such young charges.

Commotion

One morning, we woke at 6 am to lots of banging and crashing. A disgruntled Mark got out of the bed to investigate. Suddenly there was silence. Mark came back to the bed, "Gladiators with blasters" he whispered as he went back to sleep.

Girls

At my work bbq at the park. Seany and the little 3 year old blondie spend time strolling to and fro hand in hand. Break to Ryan catching sight of this sweetness. He ran full blast over there and tackled blondie.
