Muffins, boxing, lunch with Grandparents, etc.

The kids love to make muffins--I think they like helping make them more than eating them. Rhett likes chocolate chip muffins, so that's what we made this morning. Now that Alexee is big enough to help, there's a little competition involved...who gets to put the most liners in the pan, who gets to spray them, etc.
Lane bought a Wii a while back. Rhett's played it a few times, but hasn't really seemed too interested in it (his attention span is about like mine). For some reason he thought of it yesterday and wanted to play. He's playing the boxing game below. Lane said he'd improved a lot at the golf and bowling games. He also had fun creating the Wii characters (not sure what the term is for those?)--we laughed about some of the ones he designed. One of them was Crosby, which he named "Trouble". This morning R had a haircut, then we met L's parents for lunch at P.F. Changs ("the place with the big horse" as R calls it). I regret not taking a picture of the kids with Grammy and Bobba there, but we all had our hands full between Rhett poking people with chopsticks and Alexee playing musical chairs and sampling everyone's food. There wasn't much time for photos.

Tonight our friend, Amy, stopped by to pick up a painting. It was great to see her! I couldn't get R to cooperate for a photo with her because he was in his silly mode (sorry, Amy) since he was excited to have company. She babysat Rhett a lot when he was a baby, and he always loved her (we did, too!). While she was here, Alexee climbed on the couch beside Bogart and put one of her pink blankies over him and covered herself up with the other one. It was so cute--I had to grab the camera. Bogart has always been so good with the kids--he's a great family dog. I would recommend a schnauzer to anyone!
