Bits

Just a few tidbits from the week:


We were driving to church last Wed. night, with the radio on pretty loudly (Superchick was playing, and the kids love them). Blake yells over the radio, "Hey, mom! Did you know that the Citgo next to church turned into a Chevron?" Hmm. Didn't notice. Where did this kid get his obsession with gas stations?

Blake's been playing soccer this season, and he's really good at it. He prefers to play defense, and does a great job of defending the goal. However, he has scored several goals. He's a very strategic player, which is odd for a kid his age. He's really enjoying it, and I love going to his games. Even Brady gets into it, yelling "Go, Blake, go!" at completely random times.


I tried out my new food processor, which by the way, is the coolest thing ever made for the kitchen. I made a chocolate cream pie. Brady, Max and I sampled it for morning snack today. (I'm sure we were quite a sight, sitting on the kitchen floor, me spooning bits alternately between the boys and myself.) Brady said, through his chocolatey ear-to-ear grin, "Dawishous!"


Sydney lost her "silver" tooth yesterday. She had a cap put on years ago, and she was thrilled to lose it. The tooth fairy brought her $10!


Max has begun flinging himself on the floor and sobbing pathetically every time he gets his feelings hurt. And let me tell you, this kid gets his feelings hurt A LOT. I think I'm in for a long few years, given that two is still a year away. Good thing he's SO cute.
