funny things

This morning Dave and I both noticed Calvin walking and then pausing to grunt for awhile. So we both mentioned in the middle of the conversation that Calvin probably had done some business in his diaper. After breakfast, the kids were walking around and Violet is following Calvin closely and says "Calvin! Calvin! Come here! I wanna SMELL your butt!" Then she grabs the little red sweeper vacuum and says "I wanna get some dirties off the floor." Last night Violet and I went to the UNI women's basketball game at the new McLeod Center with the Costello family. Violet and Katie had SUCH a fun time!! They were dancing to all the music when the game took breaks and the dancers did routines, laughing, and got a chance to run around the top of the arena together. I think I'll go again sometime. Katie told Violet that she was really excited to get something in the mail a couple days ago - it was her invitation to the gymnastics party for her 3rd birthday. Dave stayed home with Calvin and put him to bed early so us girls could go.
