So today was hubby's bday and Kid#1 was in fine form (said as sarcastically as possible). Right now he is moaning and complaining that he's too tired for a bath, but I bet his energy will pick right up as soon as it's story time. Odd how that happens.
Events of the day: last cross-country ski of the season (which was also my first one, but I digress), Farmer's Breakfast at Drumlin Farm (with way too many pancakes!!!), wandering around Drumlin Farm after for a very long time, including a hike up Drumlin Hill. Then back home to change and off to Nahant for dinner at Tides - wish we'd been able to get a window seat but we'll go back again and enjoy the view another time. Kid#1 seemed to hold it together for most of the day until now. He's definitely the ruler of over-acting in a big bad way. He may not live to be 10 at this rate.
Oddly, the worse behaved Kid#1 gets, the better behaved Kid#2 gets, and then Kid#1 complains that we like his younger brother better than him. Um... yeah? Tell me - why a kid who is smart enough to understand advanced physics concepts and how to count in binary doesn't get that he is causing his own problems with his own bad behavioural choices? Maybe when he's 30, he'll get it... maybe...

Lisa, give them a break. I watched your kids counting in binary and I was at awe. It's usually hard to impress me and make me really surprised and impressed. That was it. If they didn't put on an act once in a while, it would be too perfect and you would have nothing to blog about! :-)
