Thalia's New Obsession

Building card castles. And she is amazingly good at it.

And I figure it's very good for her building hand-eye coordination and motor control.

And meanwhile, #1 is getting good at rapid-fire teasing exchanges, like this one last night at dinner (much to Brenna's dismay):

abra: can i have a piece of bread?
me: ok
abra: can i have butter on my bread?
me: if you pay me five bucks
abra: no way. how about i give you a kiss instead?
me: ok, but it has to be on my butt
abra: did you wipe?

At that point I started laughing and gave her a high five (and Brenna rolled her eyes at us). No, I shouldn't condone it, but it was a pretty snappy retort, I thought. We then had a discussion about dinner conversations that shouldn't happen when we are at other people's houses.

You can't leave us hanging on that "dinner conversation" conversation. I put my foot in my mouth at least once a week. I need all the advice I can get!
