Lately D and Rosebud have been very into rollerblading.  They've been skating up and down the street in front of our house, and getting more and more skillful. Last night we went for a walk, and the two of them were chasing each other and shrieking and having a great time. They were playing a game where the person holding the stick whacked the other one on the butt and then had to drop the stick, and the victim picked it up for their turn chasing down and whacking the other one. Rosebud would cover her rear end with her hands (while skating!) and shout, "Butt protection! Butt protection!" It was a beautiful night and we had a wonderful time.
