First Ballpark Visit

Boys and Their Toys

A couple of weekends ago, I decided it was time to clean out my Munchkins closet (a little at a time). He has several BIG plastic totes that we used to use as toy boxes. These totes haven't been touched in a couple of years - they just sit at the back of his closet with other junk piled on top. SOOOOO - I had him pull one out so we could go through it and throw away things that needed to be thrown away and hand down the toys that were still salvageable. 3/4 of the contents was trash - old, broken crayons, pencil shavings, broken popsicle sticks, pieces of plastic from toys that we couldn't quite figure out, and just JUNK really. We were able to save a few toys though - and I am pretty sure that the missing parts to some of the ones we found are still in one of the other totes. Big Brother had to show Little Brother the in's and out's of playing with his old toys! I haven't gotten around to cleaning out any more totes. Maybe it would be a good project for this weekend. This is going to be the last free weekend for a few weeks and I would REALLY like to get it done. Let's see if the motivation sticks with me until then!

My Munchkin

Looking at these pictures, it's hard to believe that my munchkin is a teenager. He still has that cute little innocent look. Big blue eyes, golden blonde curls.

My cherub.

My angel.

My heart!

Story Time

Happy Wednesday!

Summertime

I know... I know... As usual I am falling behind on getting anything posted about my kiddos! There is not too much going on it seems though, but it seems that we are always busy!



Summertime is here and the munchkin is out of school. Because he is a teenager - he gets to stay home "alone". (quotation marks because my neighbor is within 50 feet of us and she keeps tabs on him)


The little one is staying in daycare though. If daddy is home during the day - he gets to spend a day or two at the house running with the "big boys".

We are just a few weeks into summer and have been trying to keep the boys occupied. Since I work during the week - most of what we are able to do is on the weekends (when I am not cleaning the house after not touching it all week).

We have had a crawfish boil,

hung out at the pool,

spent time at the river,

taken rides in daddy's new toy through the woods,

had a houseful of teenage boys,

went to the mud races

but that is pretty much it.

So far it has been a pretty good summer! We still have a few more things we would like to do - needing to plan a camping trip along with one we have going on around the end of July, have family coming in to visit - possibly a water park then, and I would still like to make it out to the beach once or twice.

Maybe this long weekend will be eventful... Nothing planned just yet - but I think I am going to try and get the ball rolling to get out of the house!

Easter

Easter was an experiment this year, to say the least. It is the first one where my little one can somewhat understand the concept of the Easter Egg Hunt. We did one at the house, and had big brother help show him the ropes!

Big brother coloring eggs!

Little one colored his egg too!

and the hunt was on!

Thank you Easter Bunny!! Bock Bock!!!

LEMONS

As a parent, I sometimes feel guilty for the things we put our children through... but not this one!!! He kept wanting MORE!!!
