the good, the bad, and the ugly

Yesterday Meredith made a comment about how she loves the age that Katie is right now. I do too. It's so darn cute. But thankfully it balances the age that Owen is now. He's driving me nuts. I'd like to allow you all to remain ignorant and believe that he's a perfect little child, but the truth is, he's 4... and slowly driving me crazy. Yesterday he hit me in the head with a magic wand. Of course, just when I think I'm going to trade him in, he says something really sweet... or funny. We were having a nice, heated argument Thursday night and he yelled, while sitting in time out, "just stop talking! just cook dinner!" I actually had to turn around for a few minutes so he wouldn't see me laughing. Speaking of laughing, Dan and I watched Get Smart last night and it was hysterical! I laughed harder than I have in a while. I laughed so hard I cried and my stomach hurt. It was great. I might have to own it. Well, enough of all of that, here's what you guys really want. Here's Owen posing with his superhero pictures. If you've seen the batman mask I made for him you already know the talent I possess, this is just another example of my abilities. Amazing, I know. This morning was a big moment. We gave Katie her first taste of cereal. Very cute and very messy. She did really well with it though. I think she eventually enjoyed it.
