Boys have kept me busy to say the least. All of January and February we have had Basketball every Tuesday and Saturday for Mason. Mason loves any kind of sport and he REALLY likes the sport he is doing at any given time as his "favorite". Changes with seasons. Now we are into Baseball heavy. We live at the ball field and the games have not even started yet. Jack decided he did not want to play any sports this season. I did not push him as that usually does not work out in my favor. We end up fighting over if he will play in the games or not! I am kind of glad he is not playing anything since Spring Baseball is usually so busy, I was not sure how I was going to get them both to where they needed to be all the time. I am jealous of these people that have sisters, Aunt's, Uncles, multiple grandparents that all live close and help out...along with a husband that does NOT work retail hours which includes Saturday's. Sometimes I feel like it is up to me and me alone. Dan helps out as much as he can, but he has a business to run so sometimes that comes first.
Enough of the pity party, now onto the good stuff...pictures...
We finally got Jack a new 16" bike that is a smidge too big, but he is able to handle it pretty well. His 12" was just way too small. Below we are in the church parking lot so he can get used to riding it. He is still having "issues" with the brakes!
So now both Mason and Jack have new bikes...next on the list is to get rid of Jack's training wheels. We (Mason) will tackle that after Spring Break.
Below is Jack a few weekends ago where he was so tired, he feel asleep in the middle of the day WHILE he was coloring. Too cute!
Now onto Mason. He had a living museum at school last week where each child had to choose someone from history to research, dress up as and present a little speech on a specific day. He chose James Madison, the 4th president of the United States. I had to reach really deep to find the creativity to make a costume for him. Now if you know me, you know that I break out into a cold sweat when someone says something about a costume for one of my kids. I am not good at it.
But this time, I actually rose to the occasion. AND I actually used my sewing machine for the very first time to make his neck tie. It does not matter that I had to sew the white fabric with black thread because I did not know how to change out the bobbin. Right??
Well, here is the final product...most everything was bought at the thrift store except the pants which are his baseball pants. The neck tie I made from a curtain panel. I know...right?
The first picture of Mason is at school where he is holding a copy of the Constitution and a feather that is supposed to be a quill pen. Cute isn't he???
I am going to leave you with a few random pictures of this past weekend where we had a little friend, Thomas, over Saturday night. FUN!
And lastly, in honor of us leaving for the beach in 4 days!!!
The Crab Hunter!!! Now if I could only find what I did with that stupid float-thing he is wearing!!
Everyone have a good week and good spring break. We are looking forward to a week at the beach with Nana and Poppy.
