NanTalk Triple Play

Hannah, procrastinating again (don't know where she picked up that skill....). Playing with a cowboy hat. She lies down on the floor, puts the hat over her face, crosses her legs and sighs.

H: I'm going to be a cowgirl when I grow up. I have to practice keeping this hat on my face.

Me: I guess that's to keep the sun out of your eyes when you're resting from a long day on the range.

H: No. It's so I can look like a cowgirl.

It was warm enough to grill over the weekend. Yay! We cooked some Omaha Steaks we got for a Christmas gift--yum! We also had roasted potatoes (cut into big cubes), salad with cubes of cheese. The steaks were square, and I added sauteed mushrooms for Hannah and James (blech to me).

Looking down at my plate I said, "It looks like the theme for tonight's dinner is Squares."

Hannah said, "Except for the umbrella- shaped mushrooms."

Nan, a big fan of The Lion King, looking through a newly arrived American Girl catalogue:

"Mom, look at Rebecca Rubin's hakuna outfit!"

(Rebecca is Jewish and had a Hannukah outfit.)

I love that girl.
