The Lifesaver Club

Sometimes after dinner, the kids will eat lifesavers and circle around the column in my kitchen. For some reason, this ritual has become "The Lifesaver Club." One of them calls the club to order and the others each get a lifesaver and start circling. Ethan's always in front; Evelyn's always in the back and they circle this column until the Lifesavers melt away.

Then they graduate to some sporting event like indoor football, hockey, or soccer. The Lifesaver Club is always run in this manner. It's a lot of fun, until of course someone starts crying because they didn't make the touchdown.

(When I get the *new* camera I ordered, I'll take pictures!)
