Soccer, chicken curry, and frogs

E had his first soccer practice tonight. It's his second season and he was excited to go!
Apparently I go out of my way to cook "disgusting food" for the family. The kids came in the house from swimming and said "what is that smell?!" Curry. After some crying E tried it and like our friend from Green Eggs and Ham said "Say, I like green eggs and ham". H didn't eat it until after dinner, after soccer, after brownie recruitment and after she was jammied up. Finally she agreed to try it and thought it was fine. G liked it. S and J ate it just fine. DH asked why I was doing weird things to chicken. I, however, liked it.
At preschool today we studied frogs. The highlight was painting ceramic frogs. It was a very fun day. The boys are very funny.
