Lot of random

Jack has been really into playing catch lately. Every night. Sometimes we play catch, sometimes he pitches to me. This afternoon we played half an hour of wiffle ball. This morning, he walked into the backyard on his own with his glove and ball to toss it up into the air a bit. To be honest he's kind of wearing me out. But I'll take it.

Kate loves this scooter we got her. It was her present for Jack making the Summer Travel team. If she has to go to the park all the time for his games, she may as well have a scooter. She's pretty impressive on it, zipping all over the place like she's the Silver Surfer or something.

Emily went out with friends tonight, so it was just me and the kids. I made a pizza which Jack inhaled and Kate half ate, half picked around the edges, because at some point recently she decided she didn't like tomato sauce. Kind of cuts down on the dinner options. But she ate some, and they both had watermelon for dessert.

They got into their pajamas, and we watched an episode of Gilligan's Island, me sitting between them on the couch. I brushed teeth and washed faces, then read a Magic Kitten chapter with Kate and some Calvin and Hobbes strips with Jack. Turned out lights, told them I loved them, hugged them, put them to bed. Then I came downstairs and wrote this quick blog.
