"It was SO fun!" -Cate

Get used to it, Little Man, we'll be sitting in this spot a LOT over the next weeks:

 Everything about this picture is funny to me:

 

1) Is that big girl sitting on Cate??  And is Cate just letting her??

2) The boy tying that shoe does not know how.

3)  The boy having his shoe "tied" is named Ty.  He seems to be about a year younger than our Ty- like, doesn't-know-how-to-run young.  But boy does he have a cheering section!  :)     (He is 4.)

4)  It trips our Ty out every time someone yells at the other one.  (Real life example: "TY! Stop eating that dirt!")  Hilarious. 

One down.

(Not quite a catch, but close!)

A bag of peanuts = happy/busy kids:

 Cate's first game is tonight...

 

Jump!



I'm taking the challenge.

= Sew one hour every day for a week for your kid(s).

 

I have plenty of half-finished projects to complete plus a stack of fabric and patterns ready to go.  Things like: shorts for Halle, summer pjs for Ty, and a couple of dresses and shirts just waiting to be hemmed.  And of course, Isaac's quilt. 
Well.  That thing may not be done for another year... 

 

Hammers and "Nails"

Through the fence:

The new city ball fields are ready!  (And really nice!)

Cate is the only one who has had a practice that wasn't rained out so far.  And she loved it!

Post-practice base run- Cate is by far the fastest  :)

Cate and Bo, the BMC Softball coach's son:

(I thought it was funny that the two coaches' kids were the only ones following directions.)

Here we go again...

 

 

**Yes.  Cate is wearing Crocs to practice.  It was embarrassing. 

It went down like this:

Me: "Cate, hurry!  Go get your tennies on, we're going to be late!"  (We were.)

Cate:  "Wellllll... remember the other day they made red marks on my feet and they hurt??"

Me:  cringing  "Oh no.  Oh man.  Do Halle's cleats from last year fit you?"

Cate:  staring a hole in me  "No."

Me:  "How about we try some different socks with your tennis shoes and see if it works?"

We tried.  Blisters started. 

So.  The Crocs.  Hopefully her new shoes will arrive before next Monday's practice... 

Life (as seen by my phone):

Backyard t-ball:

The girls are both playing this year.   Yikes...

 At the dr's office- just a check up:

 Literacy on the Lawn-

We got to sneak in with Halle's class for the last station: 

 Cate snuck up and sat with Halle- Cate is 2nd from the right:

Walking through campus to the car, nearly 3 years later:

 Biggest and Littlest:

 The kind of thing I find (and clean up) every night:

 Picnic in the garage:

First grilled pizza of the season:

 Secrets:

(I am pretty positive that it included the word "poop.")

 Indy is never far from food: 

 Stuck in the play pen again- but at least it was outside!  :)

 Yesterday was the first time Isaac wanted out of the sling.  Good thing I had a double cart!

 Can you see her bottom tooth sticking out?

It reminded me of the dog- so funny!

 

 About a minute later it fell out: 

 And now she has lost it and doesn't seem to care.

Unbelievable.
