Post #1: I know the last post was about food, but here is another one. Erik was gone again one day last week (or was it the week before?!?!) and on those days I don't really cook dinner. I told the kids that we were going to eat octopus. Kayleigh did NOT like hearing me say that, and was pleasantly surprised with what she saw on her plate when it was finally presented. I have to tell you that I remember this from when one of my elementary teachers did it with my class.
Post #2: Kayleigh wanted Brian and her to wear the same thing one day, so she chose their Gap shirts and khakis for the two of them. Please don't mind her hair--that's her thing and I'll let her have it however she wants...when we're at home. :)
Post #3: Super-cool super heroes! Need I say more??
Post #4: Here's another reason why I don't post as much as I should. I have to fight two kids for the computer! This is Brian playing Boowa and Kwala. ( www.uptoten.com if you're interested)
Post #5: Last Friday was the Fairy Tale ball at Kayleigh's school. They all got to dress up and have a little dance. I was laughing to myself because Kayleigh had to dance with a boy from another class, and they looked so awkward. I thought, "Well, Kayleigh just got her first awkward dance out of the way!" They had a lot of fun, and Brian couldn't wait to get in on the action!

Kayleigh asked me later, "Why was I standing like that??" I don't know, Kayleigh.

Post #6: Kayleigh wanted to play tea party upstairs in her room when I realized that we had real tea downstairs. We gathered all of her tea party stuff and headed down for a "real" one. I cut up bananas and grapes and we also had some Craisins to snack on with our tea. We said only big boys and girls could come to the tea party and they had to be polite. We emphasized the big boys and girls part because Brian started potty training this week!!! YIPPEE!!! He's doing really well with just a couple of accidents a day. I'll take that, especially since I didn't think he would ever want to potty train.
