It has been a VERY busy spring so far with lots and lots of baseball practice. . .games are now underway and i have yet to capture a picture of Cole! T and I have been doing a lot of tag teaming because of overlapping games so I haven't seen Cole play yet. . .but I will get to this coming week :)
Every year the kids write a book for Young Author's at school. . we always enjoy going to the open house to have the boys read their books to us. This year Luke's book was about about Henry Ford, it was part of his famous American project and Grant wrote a book called "All About Me."
A month's worth of practice is now under our belts and today was officially OPENING DAY. . .baseball season begins! Of course, I tried to get a decent pic of all 3 boys in uniform but failed!
Luke played his first game of the season {btw. . .we DO feed the boy LOTS of food, even though it may not look like it!}
Grant and Cole just ran the bases, games will start this week. Cole had the privilege of having Justin Snow (a Colt's player) call his name for his base running
Billericay Park was full of activity for the kids, lots of characters, games to play, etc. and the best part was that instead of it being cold and rainy (like it usually is!) it was sunny and 80-perfect!
It seems like I just did a post about kindergarten round up. . .hard to believe it has been year since we enrolled Grant in kindergarten and now here it is time to enroll Cole. We visited all the kindergarten classrooms, toured the school and the best part of all??!!! The bus ride!
This year the driver even stopped and had the kids practice getting on and off the bus and went over bus stop rules. . . big stuff!
It's not often that I get to do something special with just one of the boys, but today we headed to the zoo with our neighbors. It was a beautiful morning and all the animals were out and about. Cole's favorite part of the day was petting the sharks!
Cole and I made pizza for dinner--of course, he decided he would stretch the dough out by himself and he did a PERFECT job! He spun it into a perfect circle--not bad for a 5 year old! {BTW--the yellow stuff on his nose is from all the dandelions he rubbed on it today!}
Our backyard backs up to a bunch of other backyards. . .and it's seems to be the trend that anyone who is in our "circle of yards" who has a baby has a boy. We are VERY blessed with boys and of course our kids are thrilled to have 13 boys so close by! Today the neighbor was fixing his sump pump hose and doing a bit of digging. Let's just say I didn't get all the boys in the picture, but we had a lot of happy boys digging in mud yesterday--it was quite a hoot to see about 8 boys and one dad looking at a hole!
