Sorting Marbles

Rebecca has sorted her marbles into communities. A group of green is "the biggest family." The big and small marbles with dots are "the mommy and the kid." And one lone marble "is far away from her family. Her family is in another country."

Good idea, bad idea

Good idea: starting martial arts to improve strength, coordination, balance, confidence, grace, posture, and nunchuck skills.

Good idea: getting a Tdap booster to help protect my family against possible future outbreaks of whooping cough.

Bad idea: learning a new nunchuck drill which involves slamming the nunchucks* against my shot-sore shoulder.

*(full disclosure: light-weight, foam-covered nunchucks. But they still hurt.)

Dinner Favorites

Me, seeing the untouched plate of salad as Rebecca spoons up chowder: "Aren't you going to eat your salad?" R: "I eat the badness first, then I eat the goodness!"

Indulgent

Today I gave my son the extra snack he begged for in his lunch: a romaine lettuce leaf.

April Fool's Day (and post-Easter) dinner

Green eggs and ham.

Difficulty

When you have
one sink full of Easter egg dye
safely covered by a (dirty) cutting board
holding a (maggiano's) film tray
rinsed by a continually running faucet
that's overflowing developer chemicals into your other sink
It's hard to do dishes.
