Great Way to Start the Day

SOOC

It was vibrant, striking and ohhhing. My 2yo was the one that pointed it out to the rest of us.
What could be better than your starting your day with this view out your back window and a peppermint mocha coffee (thanks commander for picking up my favorite coffeemate)

Now off to clean up the house for book club tonight.

How we spend our free Time

This is how we spend all of our time lately
For a awhile we only had Wednesday and Sunday
But one practice dropped so now we only spend
4 days a week with FOOTBALL



This is what our future holds.

Walking to the Bus

Some days walking to the BUS is slow and painful to drag everyone there.



And this is what they do when they walk~ I mean RUN home.

Pediatricians Bear

At the pediatricians office there sits this over stuffed Bear. It is a greeting to all the children who come for a visit. Well I have a personal beef with stuffed animals. I think they are gross, yucky and full of bahhhh. Don't get me wrong I did have a stuffed bear growing up and still have him in a trunk, and many dolls and other stuffed things. But as an adult, yuck. My boys each have 1 or 2 stuffed animals, mainly from build-a-bear. Cute yes, but still.
When I work, kids are always coming out of surgery with their stuffed things. Of course I quickly give them they animal, but I always think how gross they are.
Anyways back to the pediatricians bear. For years I have directed the boys not to touch this gross overstuffed germ filled thing that greets all the sick children. But I am trying to let go of my hesitations and see that the kids really want to hug and love this thing. It gives them a smile both on the way in and way out of the office.

Run Away

75% of the time when I am taking pictures of the boys, they are running away from me. I try to get their attention, but often this is what I get.

But I want to see their faces................

Sunday Night Fun

We have played co-ed softball on Sunday Nights for about 4 years.
I grew up playing competitive fast pitch softball.
He played little league baseball and was more of a football player.

I have enjoyed having this as our something.
We are grateful to my parents who watch the three monkeys
every Sunday while we play.

Some years our team is good and some years just OK



After each game the boys all run the bases


I play in-feild and he plays outfield. It's nice for both of us to have our competive outlet.
But really it is just Sunday Night co-ed Softball........

Changing Table

I see this sign and hope I do not have to look for it again until I have grand kids. Potty training.......
Such joys.........
