163-164/366: Recurring Themes

This weekend's photos were mostly of the kids, and mostly had other people's kids in them, as they did a double play-date on Saturday afternoon. I'm going to lump two days together, because they're really just repeating previous themes. Here are the kids eating dinner at the Union women's basketball game Friday night:

(They went absolutely bonkers after this-- it's hard to describe how hyped up they were Friday.)

And here's yet another fort:

This one was relatively small, just the cushions from our living-room couch piled up and covered with a blanket to make two small "rooms" connected by a "tunnel." This was endlessly entertaining for SteelyKid, though, who was especially fired up to lie in her "room" to eat breakfast and watch cartoons.

So, how was your weekend?

Long-time readers will remember that I used to do weekly kid-blogging, posting pictures of SteelyKid with a reference animal, Appa the sky-bison from the Avatar cartoon.

SteelyKid was born five years ago today. I'd try to be clever and schedule this for exactly five years to the minute of her time of birth, but I've mercifully forgotten exactly when the delivery was, only that it was early in the morning after a very, very long night.
