Circles

One of the kids' favorite games to play with Daddy (besides Wrestling, Monster, and something that somehow involves a monkey in a cage), is spinning in circles. Two of them grab his hands and run around until someone (or everyone) falls down.

We just can't stay inside while the weather is this beautiful. Kali came to play today so everyone got to enjoy the sunshine. Michael Jr is getting a little better at "enjoying" play time when Kali is around, but he is still ultra-protective of his cars.

She looks so sweet... she wouldn't steel a car from anyone (not named Michael).

I'm completely convinced Catherine turned eight and nobody told me.

Mary, on the other hand, skipped directly to thirteen. I know this because only a thirteen-year-old has the special talent of being able to go from this:

to this:

in under a second.

Or from this:

to this:

and back again.

Actually, maybe Mary truly is acting her age, and the talent of the thirteen-year-old is the ability to circle back to acting like a three-year-old and expect to get away with it. Stay tuned... further study on this is going to have to be postponed about eight years.
