Fun in the Cul-de-sac

The girls love going across the street to the cul-de-sac to play. Several kids live over there, and Bronwen is developing quite the crush on a 6-year old named Aiden. It is so obvious, in fact, that little Lila now says, "Ay-in!" whenever we are about to go outside.

Lila on her bike:Bronwen on her bike:

The activity that started it all: Bubbles. Aiden played catch the bubbles with Bronwen one afternoon, and that is when she decided she "loved" him. The sad part is that Aiden would rather play with the other boys, and I hope Bronwen's crush doesn't "crush" her too much. (Aiden is in the background)
And who, you may wonder, was making all those wonderful bubbles?!

Sunday

The kiddos got to spend a little time playing before church this week. If you think it's hard getting two to look at the camera at the same time...

Adam is paying attention, but Bronwen is talking and Lila is in her own world:
Uh oh--Bronwen is messing with something Lila is doing, and she does. not. like. it.
Bronwen does a half-hearted "Cheese" while Adam blows bubbles and looks away.
All three looking, and the toy gets in the way!

Cousins!

The girls and Adam got to spend some time with their cousin this weekend. MEanwhile, the moms went and had their toenails painted and enjoyed a kid-free lunch.

Car Conversation

Bronwen: Mom, does your head have a bone in it?
Me: Yes, Bronwen, it's called a skull.
B: A skull?
Me: Yes.
B: What does a skull do?
Me: It is kind of like a helmet inside your head.
B: What is your brain made out of?
Me: Cells.
Bronwen: Oh, cells?
Me: Yes.
Bronwen: How do you breathe?
Me: Well, you take air into your body through your nose or mouth. And when blow it out, you get the air out of your body. That is called breathing.
B: Why do we breathe?
Me: You know how your body needs food and water for energy? Well, it also needs air.
B: What does the blood do?
Me: It carries around the vitamins from our food.
B: Oh.
(Adam screaming from exhaustion, Lila screaming for no discernible reason)
B: Be quiet, I can't hear!

I think there was a little more to it, but those are the highlights.

I also heard her talking in her room this morning. She said something about being in outer space, and then in the cutest little girl voice, she said, "It's a whole new world!"
