the joy of having a 7 year old

I took everyone out shopping this afternoon. Dan and Elyssia needed new gloves and Sam has grown out of most of her jeans (again!). Afterwards when I took the kids and their mom back to the house, Dan said he wanted to come back with me to watch football. Elyssia wanted to come over too, but didn't want to watch football. I explained that Dan asked first and there were toys and book and games for her to play with if she wanted to come over anyway. She agreed that that was a good plan and said, "OK, I'll come over and you can watch football, but I won't look!"
