Sam completed his first week of kindergarten, and when he came out on Friday, he was wearing this shirt: It just makes me feel old--I can't even imagine this little guy graduating High School but I know it will be here before I know it. THEN because it's still REALLY hot we hit the pool (explanation of Lindsey's outfit). OTHER RANDOM EVENTS--This weekend starts the beginning of what we're calling the Boy Scout Gauntlet--7 consecutive weekends of overnight camp outs for some reason or another, we're kind of dreading it but there was no avoiding it, we'll see if we survive.
I
took some wildlife with me to the post office the other day--a cheetah, a monkey and a butterfly to be exact. I HAD to get some stuff mailed and this is what the kids were wearing...and so into the car they piled! Sure I got funny looks by the few patrons at the small neighborhood post office but I LOVED it, loved that my kids hadn't been in front of the TV that afternoon but creatively playing together and loved that they'd been planning a "show" for my viewing pleasure!Incidentally, Matthew is a handful and seems to be more so everyday! I've often heard moms in frustration tell how their children run right behind them and mess up what they've just cleaned--that was exactly my life this past week! He has an AMAZING knack for finding exactly what he shouldn't and for making HUGE messes, it's a good thing he's super cute. And we've just transitioned him from a high chair into a booster seat at the table in the kitchen and he couldn't be happier! He's a super good eater and loves being included in all the action of our busy family!
