…isn’t she beautiful….I always loved that first line of the song by Stevie Wonder…and it’s so true [inside and out] of Roz, my pastor’s wife. She wanted a few pics for brochures, postcards, and her guest speaker profile. I love the color she chose….makes my job easy!
Brenton…who’s hair grows faster than any weed I’ve ever seen….got a new haircut. He looks even older than he did the first time. It’s funny how small things like that seem to change things. He even seems to act older. The stickers on his outfit are compliments of PaPa who dug them out of his top desk drawer. Brenton loved them, so after he left I peeled them off the other places he stuck them to recycle them for next time :)
yep….it was only a matter of time….the boys have discovered and shown an interest in the football. We had a fun packed day yesterday. First, we met an old friend who is in town and her grandson and headed to the local pool around the corner, where we played in the kiddie area of the pool. It is equipped with slides, water spouts, water guns, and a tire swing, all in about a foot or so of water. PERFECT. The best part is….it’s FREE. I think we will be going back there. Unfortunately, I forgot to bring my camera, but with all the water and splashing, it’s probably just as well.
After lunch it was outside play with the football and Aunt Leah’s leprechaun hat[thanks Aunt Leah]….hmmmmmmm perfect pic for Notre Dame marketing, maybe?
When PaPa drove in from work, the boys were as excited as usual to see him. After visiting a while he took their mommy’s car, with them in it, and disappeared. They were going to the grocery store to get dessert for our dinner…..cupcakes! I wondered what was taking them so long, when I found out they were taking a side trip to the dollar store. It reminded me of the times my parents would come to visit and pick the girls up and take them to McCrory’s….one of the last of the old fashioned dime stores….where they would each pick out something to buy.
They came home with these fun water pumps and squirt guns. Brenton kept squirting his using his thumb instead of his trigger finger. He squirted it sideways…it was too funny. But Trey knew just what to do with all the toys. It just so happened that their Mommy brought swimsuits, so after dinner we hooked the sprinkler up, filled a 5 gallon bucket with water…………and had a water extravaganza in the front yard. Trey kept losing his drawers…..as you can see in the pictures. But they enjoyed it so much. And it was lots of fun watching them!
The boys are over today. Mommy’s not feeling well, so I went and picked them up just before lunch. I think they have enjoyed watching the painter paint our roof….Trey’s been pretty fascinated with it, but doesn’t want to get too close….is content watching from inside :)
