Paper Taste Good!

We had a pretty busy weekend. On Saturday, the kids had their first soccer games of the season. Both games were at 8:45 AM on Saturday, so Rod and I switched fields at halftime to be able to watch both kids. Evelyn is much more engaged than last season. She has always really liked soccer, but now she is running after the ball rather than running behind the other players. Kenneth is doing really well, too. His coach has been great this year and is teaching the players strategic moves. After attending our friend Gabi's 4th birthday at Pump It Up Inflatable Play Zone (the name suffciently describes the concurrent fun and chaos), we returned home and played a few games of Bingo. Evelyn got to practice her double digits by being the caller.

Today, Elena and Justin (our neighbors) came over. Justin, Kenneth, and Rod played the game "Risk" while Evelyn and Elena colored at the kitchen table. (Evelyn played Risk for awhile, but she got tired of it and Justin took over her slot). Before Elena came over, I was coloring with Evelyn. Evelyn looked at some of my work and pointed out that I had colored outside the lines a little bit. "But that's OK Mom, you tried your best." I overheard a very funny conversation between Elena and Evelyn:

Elena: (in a loud voice) "Have you ever ate paper?"
Evelyn: (in a serious voice) "I haven't ever tried paper."
Elena: (in a loud voice) "Paper taste good!"

It was cute enough to make note of it.
