A few pics to round out the weekend and also the quote of the day:

Quote of the day from Colleen (of course):

"Mom is a skunk.  Her shirt smells bad like a skunk."

In Meg's defense, we had just finished our morning run and been talking about skunks since we passed one.

Big guy moved to a new big boy bed today!

Colleen and Ryan after I set it up.

Colleen decorating, I mean dressing up, her brother.

And a happy Ryan in his outfit.

We went out to eat for dinner.

Ryan did well with a quesadilla and chips

Hanging out in bug chair

And playing in the middle of the train track

A little update with some photos and video (of Colleen singing "What does the fox say"):

Hanging out together before bed and the teeth brushing/book reading ritual

With the awesome train track they setup on the table.

Having a good time

They both ran downstairs this morning and plopped down on the floor/couch.

Ryan playing with the train in his new jams

At the park coming down the slide.

This is what happens when you let Dad feed Ryan.

Boys will be boys
