Happenings...

I just wanted to record a few observations from this morning...
For instance:
-Ellie learned that if you pour a cup of water into your dress pocket, the water doesn't stay in it.
-Owen's wiffleball playing has outgrown our backyard, having hit 2 balls over the roof of our house. He has also now officially passed me up on wiffleball skills.
-I am reminded again that I am expecting as I'm starving all the time. I announced at 10:45 that it was lunch time.
-Ellie is into feeding the "peacocks" that apparently live just outside our fence. She passes grass and rocks to them through the fence.
-Owen just wants to be outside playing sports...even if it's 100 degrees. He also does play by play while he plays..."That was a nice hit, Billy...Slimey, a double play...Juan Britt up to bat...That's a stand-up homerun...and he "grinded" out to left field..." are just a few of the phrases he said just this morning.
-Ellie made mud-pie muffins outside...unlike Owen, she just wants to be playing the dirt.
-While finishing up lunch, I turned around to see Ellie and Owen shaking a salt shaker on their strawberries. I say, "Oh guys, you don't want to do that..." just as Owen takes a bite...hee hee...the look was priceless. He said, "But mom, I was just putting a little sugar on them like you do." So today, we learned the difference between salt and sugar.
