Hello....AGAIN

What do the kids do these days? They play on the kindle and watch you tube videos of people baking cakes. Today, while playing with her sister Livi, Fi fi says, "Move or I'm gonna roll you out like a fondant."
"A fondant!??!" I ask, knowing what she said but confused that she could make the connection of rolling fondant flat and threatening her sister to get out of her way or she'd be a purty decoration on some kind of yummy cake.
She says, "Yes. A fondant. You know, like flat like with a rolling pin."

Awesome. I'm sorry I've failed to post the other things the kids have done ---(I'm apologizing to myself because I'm not quite sure anyone else reads this....but it IS for my benefit, since now I'm scrolling through past posts trying to find silly things they've said so I can paint them on scraps of wood and decorate the house with it.)

But yes, these kids are quite amusing. I MUST make myself blog more often. I thought the days were going fast a year or so ago...now they're 8, 7, 5, 4 and 2. Oi! I have no answers for where the time goes. These days, we spend them at the hockey rink--the young man plays Gold Mites. He played Mega Mites in the Spring and made HUGE improvements since day one...I think it'd be safe to say he was the most improved player over the season---in fact, I think he won that award. Summer he played 3 on 3 and now we're headed into the long season. We have a great group of kids, the moms are all nice and our girls run the rinks like they own them...and I'm just grateful that Niko can get himself dressed and only needs assistance in tying his skates...because there is NO getting used to the funk in those locker rooms!

The girls aren't into anything serious--the 2 older ones do girl scouts and they're happy to hang with friends a few times a month to do crafts and sing songs. I don't know if our calendar can handle it...but I'm sure we'll find out soon as #3 has been begging to do soccer again, #4 has been begging to do soccer and swim and the littlest monster enjoys when we do family outings to open skate.

Cut away to a Febreeze commercial....
