I Feel Pretty



Colby came home late Friday night, so the kids didn't get to see him until Saturday morning. He's been playing endless games of Uno, Sorry, and Lego Batman on Wii. We had an idea to start an annual Uno tournament with each participating household sending its winner to a central location (like our house) for the World Series of Uno Tournament. Any takers??

Anyway, Colby always tries to divide his time with each kid. With Brody he has played Wii, Uno, Candyland, Sorry, and art stuff. They have also wrestled on the living room floor until Brody was beat. Brody loves a good butt-kicking.

Dade and Colby are a little more, um, tricky. They don't always get along because of Dade's spaciness and Colby's impatience. They played Uno and Sorry with Dade only near tears once.

The girls decided that they needed their nails painted, and Colby is always happy to oblige. He finds no shame in doing girly things. I think it's so adorable to watch him with the girls because it brings out his softer voice, gentler hands, and quieter games.

On the way home form Target this evening, Colby sat in the back with Evelyn. She found the receipt from yesterday's trip to the library and wanted him to read it to her. He rattled off the list of books, and when he was done Evie said, "Read it again!" Priceless.
