1st place

Ryanne just scored first place in Mario Kart for the 1st time! She was so excited.

She also won an award for a photo she submitted to the PTA Reflections contest. She titled it "Together We Can Play". The theme was "Together We Can...".

Conversations with the tired

From the bath...
Where's dad?
Going potty.
Why?
Do you really want to know why dad's going potty?
Uhhh. Nevermind.

On punctuation

"Our way beats their way. If you don't agree, it's Free."

Mommy, there should be an exclamation point at the end of that. It's exciting. "It's free!" This way, it looks sad. There's no excitement. It's boring. "It's free. *sigh*"

I have to agree.

Sheltered

Weekends mean that the kids get to watch TV while we sleep just a bit longer. This is a huge treat for Ryanne because school means she doesn't get to watch much, if any, during the week.

We recently got a new television so Chrys and I have actually started watching some broadcast channels again. This means it doesn't stay tuned to PBS all the time.

This morning, Corin asked what she was watching when he went downstairs. "Some sort of news."

She knows PBS doesn't broadcast news this early. This happened to be weather so she was captivated.

I told her she could push the ch button up or down to get back to channel 18, which is PBS.

She does. She gasps. "I had NO idea this thing would do that."

First she didn't realize our TV had commercials like hotel TVs and now she figures out that we get more that one channel. Somehow I feel we have wronged her.
