Going Through Life One Blog Post at a Time
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!
Week one of Summer School is complete. Laura wrapped up her “Putting it all into Perspective” drawing class today. She brought all her drawings home and showed them off. This was the cover of her portfolio.
John finished up Cub Scout Camp and had a great time! He is already looking forward to next year. After I picked him up, it was a quick dinner of Popcorn Chicken and French Fries and then off to the ballpark. For the last few games, Laura has been the run tracker for the team. She looks so cute with her scratchpad and pencil!
John was a little slow with fielding tonight. It was obvious that he is tired from two days of Cub Scout Camp and his reaction time was slow. On the flip side, he had a great night at bat. He had a triple, double, and a single. He has been borrowing another kid’s aluminum bat instead of using his wooden bat and his hitting has taken off. I see the purchase of an aluminum bat in our future. It will work until he gets his timing down.
