Graffiti Artists?

 Ryan and Erik played so well together today that I actually got all of the laundry done, the whole bathroom scoured (water softener is going on the next ‘list’) the house vacuumed, and Easter cards addressed!  Wow!

 

 

He wore the helmet the whole morning.

 

 

 This was Ryan’s new idea for the day.  I should have know better when I told him it would wash off with the rain…

 

 

Ryan designated an area for Erik, unfortunately Erik doesn’t like to be ‘boxed in’.

 

 Just in case the rain didn’t come…

      

This was the first of three outfits for the day.  My boys love dirt and its companion, water!

A Story for Our Cousin:

Our cousin loves Ryan’s cute thoughts, so here you go…

When I went to pick Ryan up from school his teacher wanted to tell me about their story time.  She had read a story about Japan and she taught the kids some Japanese words.  She explained what they would say if they wanted to say ‘hi’ in Japan.  A little girl said she would say ‘Hola’.  The teacher explained that they wouldn’t understand what she was saying in Japan, that she would have to go to Mexico or to Spain and they would understand her.  Ryan spoke up and said they would have to say a different word in Korea.  His teacher asked if he knew how to say it in Korean.  He stated matter of factly that he didn’t, but that when Erik grew up he could tell us!  : )

A Big Fan

Game 2!  Ryan played right field today (not much action in T-ball).  He had fun though and came home ready to practice with Daddy. 

The highlight of the day continues to be the Snack Shack.  Ryan had his first Icee.  Half ended up in the dirt so we’ll have to work on the proper technique of eating one!  (Mommy’s work never ends!). 

Erik enjoyed himself as well!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Could my boys love helmets more?

 

 

 

 

   We have wonderful coaches! 

 

Gramma and Grandpa came to watch today!

My Turn!

Whenever we go outside Erik heads for Ryan’s bat and starts swinging.  I walked outside and he had already put the helmet on.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 We had a great day outside.  The boys played for a couple of hours and I got a ton (I think literally) of weeds pulled.  We have holes all over the back now.  We love dirt!

 

Erik is looking at his dirty hands less and less now and didn’t have me wipe them off at all today!  He is learning so much! : )

He Speaks!

Speaking of speaking:  Erik has been talking up a storm and adding new words every day.  He now says Dada (when I say Momma), moon, apple, dog, and eye.

Oh Ryan!

Ryan had a rough start to the day…and actually, it kind of continued through the day.  At dinner he concluded, “Maybe I should be naughty, so when my kids are naughty, I know what to say to them.”  What are our dinner conversations going to be like when he’s a teenager?!

A Race to the Finish Line!

  The Tadpoles and all of the older boys got to race the cars they have been working on.  Ryan wanted a zebra car and a Shamu car…Harv went all out (as usual).

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

 

T-Ball Cont………

 

 Pre-game photo op

 He already has ‘the look’ down!

   Mystery Solved!!

When I got to the field I asked Harvey what on earth had happened to Ryan’s pants…

 

 

 FOCUS!

 

 After I convinced the coach (again) that Ryan is a lefty and hits left…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 The coach asked if everyone was ready…maybe asking #3?

 

We get to do it all over again on Saturday! : )
