Welcome to 2009.

Today was blessedly uneventful. It was all about food, family, video games, and football.
Today's highlights.

It cracks me up that on the Wii wannabe, how good our 2yo is at the games. Perhaps the rest of us are trying a little too hard, especially at Golf.

It also amazes me how sneaky a one year old can be when trying to steal his momma's soda, or chocolate. That little hand can just come out of nowhere!

Our four year old is mastering the art of negotiation at a young age. She let her lil sister play with her ballerina barbie in exchange for "borrowing" her doll that really laughs to push in the stroller. She also turned the tables on whose turn it was on the Wii wannabe, without her brother's even noticing. Getting boys away from video games, now that's skill.

Our six year old is definitely a future linebacker. Not only can he leap from the couch to the kitchen in a single bound. He also ate three quarter pound hamburgers for dinner, with four slices of 100% whole wheat bread, chips, and fruit. We think both his legs must be hollow.

Our eight year old was especially gracious about taking turns today. He's getting taller too. My lil men are growing up!

I'm so, so, being outlasted by our ten year old. Mr. M & I are about to crash, and he's up there reading his Star Wars books, and probably will be for a while after we're both asleep. Maybe I should buy him the complete works of Edgar Allen Poe to teach him about reading past bedtime....

May each day of this year continue to get better! Happy 2009.
