Our Saturday Evening

A simple Saturday evening. We watched "Prince Caspian." John and Charlie put together a cool truck that Uncle James and Aunt Annie got him for his birthday. Annie and Charlie played hide-and-seek together. They played the game well together: No fighting. Charlie has been working hard at getting along with his sister. He says numerous times throughout the day., "It's not a competition." Something I started saying to them because everything, literally every activity in our household has become a competition or a race.
Annie runs to put her bowl in the sink first.
Charlie darts up the stairs first.
Annie says she can take a bigger bite of her pizza than Charlie.
Charlie says he's going to get to the potty first.

So needless to say I have been the referee the past few weeks. The quiet evening of the kids playing together and the sisters chillin on the couch together was refreshing.
