Backyard Splash Party

The only thing on our agenda today was church this morning (where Cora decided the dress she had on was NOT acceptable and proceeded to take it off herself...I'm sure the people behind us were much more amused than I was). Since we had an event free day at home we dug out the slip-n-slide and kiddie pool to cool off in this afternoon. Beau starts his first day of swimming lessons tomorrow so he did a little practicing with putting his face in the water (and got some use out of his new Superman goggles).

Cora tried out the slip-n-slide too

She didn't like it

We ended the day with some ball practice for tomorrow's t-ball game.

He looks like a natural doesn't he?? :)

I hope you all had a good weekend....Monday here we come!!

Around here.....

Here's just a little snapshot of what life looks like right now. Around here we're starting to get into the basketball season. Both Beau and Cora are participating in traveling basketball through SYBA. The crazy weekends of tournaments haven't started yet, but they're both having practice regularly. Luke will be the assistant coach to Cora's team this year. Sylvie will get to play too, but her season won't start until January and is one game on Saturday mornings in town. Around here are three kids are going to religion class on Wednesday nights, I'm teaching Cora's 3rd grade class. Between that and basketball practice it's rare to have a weeknight where we are all home. Around here we're getting excited for the holidays! I'm starting in on some shopping, planning and thinking about getting the house decorated. The kids are getting Christmas lists made, and my desk is full of December Daily prep work. Around here I...

WITL Day 5 - Friday

Friday began, as predicted, with a steady soaking rain and I was glad I switched my run to yesterday. At 5am Georgia decided I've hit the snooze button enough, puts her paws up on the bed and licks my hands until I get up. She didn't get the same glad feeling about not getting to head out on a run, and lay pouting by the front door. I fill her food bowl while the coffee brews, and she decides that if we can't run she'll ask to be repeatedly let in and out instead. The result was lots of muddy paw drying. Around 6 Luke leaves for work and Georgia settles down. The house is finally quiet and still and I'm thankful for the few minutes of peace. It's daycare appreciation day, and this year I am showered with gifts from my families. It definitely adds a boost to the otherwise dreary and slow start to the day. As the kids are packing their bags for school I find that some homework has been neglected throughout the week. I'm ...

Not The Only One

Another Halloween has come and gone. This year we had a dinosaur, vampire, and Snow White (returning for the second year in a row). Holidays like this are always such a stark reminder of just how not babies my babies are. Once again I just wasn't in the Halloween spirit this year. We didn't even go to a pumpkin patch or apple orchard. The few free hours we had were cold and rainy and the kids weren't in to it. I definitely wasn't into it. This year, as if I needed more of a reminder of how fast my kids' childhood is slipping away, the social media trend seemed to be "Halloween from years gone by". Everyone, at least in my "friend" feed was posting year to year Halloween pictures of their kids. As I was busy liking and loving everyone's past Halloweens I came across a post that stopped me in my tracks. In her post she stated that she felt like the Scrooge of Halloween and that what was once fun now felt like ...
