  I'm not sure what they were cooking, but it must have been fantastic.  All I could hear was Bailey exclaim, "Delicious!" and "Nummy!"

Out to lunch with Jeff, having a taco.  No big deal.

  This is Sydney's "Battle of the Books" team.  All the kids who chose to be a part of this competition had to read the same ten books. Today they competed against other teams in the school by answering questions about the books.  The top four teams get to move on to the city competition.  Syd's team got third place.  She was thrilled.  She's been reading constantly, some books two or three times.  

   I wish I could have gotten a picture of the actual competition.  But I didn't want the noise of my camera to distract them.  It was pretty tense.

  In honor of the really fantastic nap I had this afternoon, here are some random pictures of my boys asleep on the stairs.

  The kids were watching The Princess Bride upstairs in the loft today.  I could hear it down in the dining room.  I had forgotten how funny it is.  Midway through the movie they stopped it for this:

An impromptu sword fight as Princess Buttercup looks on.

This doesn't seem that long ago.  Two years went by so quickly.
