"Theories pass. The frog remains."
-Jean Rostand
When the kids said they were going to get a snack, we didn’t know they were going to get bowls and plates of ice water. It wouldn’t normally be our first choice for a kid snack, but its sugar and fat free so I guess there are worse things to eat. And the kids seem to enjoy it, so that’s nice.
A friend of ours had a birthday party for her 3 year old out at a park in Southlake. We took another friend with us and all the kids had a great time. I think they had waaaay too much sugar, and we may have to go sugar free for a week to get the kids back to normal.
The tadpole grew into a frog, and it was time to take it to its new home at the top of our pond. Ashlyn cheerfully let it go and watched it hop around before we headed back to the house. I was surprised it went as easy as it did, maybe it was the promise of replacing the frog with fish that helped. We did get fish, and as I type this Mommy is cleaning out the fish tank after Isla somehow emptied the entire bottle of fish food into the aquarium.
When she’s not trying to kill fish, Isla’s favorite toy is still the Magna Tiles. Her new game is to stack them by colors before she knocks them over.
You summer is here when the watermelon starts coming out. The kids are old enough now to help with the preparation process. However, they don’t seem to be old enough to help with the cleaning.
