3 week digest

I am still committed to blogging every day. It's just that there is so much homework to help with, so many practices to drive to and from, so many mouths to feed, so many dirty clothes to wash, so many open houses to attend, so many stories to read, so many smiles to make, so many tears to dry, so many games to play, so much fun to have. I'm having a great time and living a great life, but I'll be honest . . . it is busy. And so I am doing my best. I take pics on my iphone and post them on instagram for later uploading to my blog. I take photos on the camera as often as I can and get around to them when I can. So here is the last 3 weeks in snapshots.



Spying on Owen and his friend Sophie as they play with the toy kitchen. They are being unbelievably cute!



Whatever happened to regular old normal school days?



My boys!



This is one excited boy!!



All the yelling woke up Owen. But he should see this!



She has watched EVERY play! So fun to have another football fan!



Everyone gets a snitch. Owen may get more than one but that's just cuz he's so cute!



He's just running up and down the field. Back and forth, over and over. He says it is soccer! "Mom, I'm doing my soccer.



Without complaining! So I promised him an ice cream cone at McDonald's after football practice.



I'm snapping a picture of the boys when Owen's ice cream cone drips. Naturally he licks the table before I can even stop him!!!!! Yuck!!!!



Quote of the week.



Owen is VERY distressed that they didn't put the flag all the way up today. If only we could all be so innocent and protected. Someday (and probably sooner than I want) he'll understand. #9-11



Owen asks, "mommy can I crawl on you lap?"; How is my baby almost 3?

Also here are some pics from Madelyn's softball game.

The first week of School

The kids are doing great. I'm doing great. I have filled all my time with some projects I just hadn't gotten around to. Here are some pics of them . . .











Trent and I even went out on a date all by ourselves last night. We had yummy food. It was as good as what we had in New England. New England clam chowder, crab cakes, and lobster rolls.
