(Dad's a bit sensitive about causing a "scene" with our rowdy ones.)
But we thought we'd give it a whirl for Kenna's birthday dinner. After a nice pep talk in the car about "public places" and "manners" we walked in - cool as cucumbers. However, this irresistible water window called out like a siren beyond our table, so you can see how successful the exercise was...
Great birthday celebrations though. Kenna had an ART PARTY - very fitting. Drawing, coloring, painting, ironing beads, Pictionary, chalking the circle (which got a little out of hand, resulting in me out there the next day with a bucket and a broom) but a good time had by all. (HIGHLIGHT: one gal tromped a glob of paint all over the living room while mom had a heart attack, shouting "Sit down! Everyone, sit down and show me your feet!!" Nothing like blue & yellow footprints on the carpet of your rental...)

Another milestone: Angel's picked up running.
Hmmmm.
Not sure I'm liking that.
She's also entered that awwwwwwesome stage that allows us to go on mini-treasure hunts every day! Our recent finds:
socks in the toilet
remote control in the trash
slippers in the (full) bathtub
homework in the shower
shoes in a kitchen drawer
You get the drift- it's delightful.
(Particularly all the empty tp rolls and tissue boxes.)
Lastly, Annie's a big girl now! Another round of training wheels all packed away (sniff, sniff)
This girl falls more than anyone I've ever met (except maybe her cousin Katie - wink) so there's always a variety of gruesome scabs, bruised lumps and bandages decorating her appendages. Fortunately she's super tough, 'cause she trips on air and is a magnet for corners. (She's a regular at the school's sick bay, most recently for literally running into a pole.)
So, I'm sure there are serious wipeouts in our future, but for now, she's feeling pretty proud of herself. :)
