My kids are awfully cute.
Elf, in early summer, without her glasses, and with a new haircut that is the old haircut, looking VERY cute.
Ben, one day this summer, after playing lots of online games, armed himself with the lid of my largest cooking pot and a butter knife. He looked, for all the world, like Joxer the Mighty (and even put a collander on his head at my suggestion).
There were birthdays and piñatas, one of which Ben soundly vanquished.
There was a late trip to the Renaissance Faire, where I got to dress up Olive, three days into America, I got to chat with
mtgat with few children, I got new jewelry (rare for me, but one is a tiny silver sea turtle pendant with beautiful opal panels on the shell), and Elf got knighted.
We travelled downstate over Columbus/Native American Genocide Memorial Day weekend and saw my mom and
imbri6. I am currently very, very fat. But I love this photo of us regardless.
The kids and I went to the
Arch (which I LOVE and Olive didn't mind and the kids ADORE), and the kids and Husband went to the
City Museum (which is awesome but which Olive, sadly, did not appreciate).
Then there's been the rest of the fall. Such cute kids, even with their obssession with Bakugan (the new fake-Japanese thing after Pokémon. And the kids are finally being gentle with the cats!
