I'm working out some issues with posting photos to the site - I should have this fixed in the next day or so. Till then, it's my fault, not Stef's :)
Ethan is starting to be able to write pretty well, here's a sample of his handiwork (it's hard to tell at this size, but he wrote his name, all by himself!). The kids love my whiteboard, and come into the office every so often to draw on the lower half for a few minutes.
The kids found Stef's makeup kit the other day, while Stef was out and I was working and not watching them every moment. After emerging from the office and figuring out what was going down, I snapped this pic :)
Stef and the girls were off to a baby shower on Sunday, so Ethan and I got to spend the afternoon together! We went and grabbed burgers and shakes for lunch at Lumpy's (home of the $24 3-lb-burger, which we unsurprisingly did not order), then saw UP together. UP was a beautifully done, if somewhat sad movied - Pixar seems to consistently turn out really awesome work; even the 5 minute short cartoon that ran before the movie was awesome. Ethan thought it was odd that I was sitting in the movie crying my eyes out for the first half hour :)
After a quick stop by Nanna and Papa's house (he hung his toy airplane out the window, inspired by the flying house in the movie), we came home and played Mario Kart till Stef and the girls came back - Ethan has gotten really good at it lately, and it's a lot of fun to do together. The funniest part is that he has started picking up on my mannerisms, so getting hit by a blue shell gets him to say "That's SO not cool!" I'm trying to work with him to understand that you don't always get to win in games, and it's okay that way :)
The girls had a nice time too, so all in all, it was a great afternoon!
Hi everyone, I just noticed that I forgot to allow anonymous users to identify themselves when leaving comments. I've adjusted this so that you can now do so!
Stef had a Mary Kay party last night, so she suggested the kids and I go run off to Chuck E. Cheese for a bit - we did so and had a great time. The 1-token-per-game policy is nice, makes a small amount of cash go quite a way, and the kids mostly like the same stuff. I learned a couple of things:
We had a nice time, a couple pix are attached.
