He hates to lose!

We went to the Antwerp Giants basketball game recently with the Penns. Taylor was excited to be with her friend (Gabi Penn). Dylan is friends with Ellie and Oliver (the Penn twins) but he said he'd rather go to their house than to a basketball game. A few days before the game he had never heard of the Antwerp Giants but he became immediately engrossed in the action. As time was running out and it became obvious the Antwerp team was going to lose the tears began to flow. He went from not caring a bit to being their biggest fan in the space of 2 hours! I'm sure he could care less by now but it's amazing how wrapped up in those things Dylan gets.

Also, check out "pretzel boy" in this photo. It's not an optical illusion. His back is bent backwards at a 70 - 80 degree angle. It hurts me to look at it.

Movie night!

The kids stayed up past their bedtime tonight for family movie night. Scooby Doo and those "meddling kids" were the main feature. Amy laughed the hardest although she's probably the only one in the family that probably didn't consider herself to be a Scooby fan. I guess she is now. Jinkies!

What?

Dylan asked if he could have a beer. Mackenzie mooned me. Taylor is on her way to break a rule (but she asked for permission first). The kids are playing truth or dare! I also explained that daring someone to expose themselves was going too far, even if it's just to family.
