Ties

On Sunday morning, Jeff began to make the kids what we call Pro/Fat pancakes, but then he had to do some things for work. I finished making them, and the kids loved them. Henry had 4.5 pancakes. Miss R had 2-2.5 pancakes. They also had a little egg. We played around the house. Miss R took a shower. Then, we headed over to the grandparents' house because my dad gave us tickets to the Cal-UA game...the hottest game of the season. It'd been well over a year since we'd attended a UA basketball game. We went with Jamie and Steve, which was fun.

The kids had a good day with the grandparents. They didn't nap until 2:15PM but managed to get at least 2 hours worth of nap.

We brought the kids home and took a walk up to Yvonne's place so that we could thank her for Friday's rice and beans. We ran into Kim, another one of our neighbors, who was on her bike. Henry had a good time asking her questions about her bike. Yvonne took the kids to her backyard to cut some broccoli, which we brought home and cooked for dinner. Henry did OK on his eating. Miss R did really, really well. We were pleased.

After dinner, the kids put on ties. Henry had been pretending that Lily's leash was a tie (like Poppy's), so Jeff thought it would be safer just to let them wear real ties. We watched Toy Story, while Jeff worked. Then, it was teeth and bed. Miss R got herself landed into timeout for screaming in protest over going to bed. I wish toddlers would give parents a break on occasion.
