The Kassel Family Project Life 365

A glass of wine, dinner on the deck, and relaxing…  The way a Friday should be.

There are a few things that I continue to hang on to that belonged to the kids when they were younger.  This morning, I said goodbye to these interlocking plates and two bowls.  It was time.  The kids have not used them in years and all they did was take up space in my kitchen cabinet.  It is another reminder that my toddlers are not toddlers anymore…

Another baseball season came to an end this evening and we went the whole season with no baseballs to the face!  John is really improving.  He has been paying close attention to every Chicago Cubs game that he watches and applying what he sees the “big boys” do.  His swing is better and he is making great fielding choices.  It also helps that he has a big love of the game.  On to Fall Baseball!

John informed me tonight that his penis does weird things when it is big.  I felt like running screaming from the room, but instead just stood there with what I am sure was the most dumbfounded expression ever…

I got to wait with these three boys for the school bus this morning.  Caleb and Jacob are getting on the bus with John for the next few days because their mom is out of town and their dad has to be to work before the bus arrives.  The conversation between these three was so funny and cute!  Looking forward to waiting for the bus with them tomorrow.

We spent most of the afternoon at Lake of the Woods Swimming Pool.  We had a great time and the water felt great!  John and Laura went down the slide a lot.  A.  Lot.

Laura stopped for about two seconds so I could snap a picture before she was off for the slide again.

And don’t ask me how many shots it took to get this one picture…

It was a great afternoon at the pool!
