This month has been filled with the start of sports, playing when we can, movies on rainy days with picnic blanket dinners and two weeks in the middle with Daddy out of town for work. One would think It would be so easy for me but these boys sure do give me a run for my money. Just when I think I have it all figured out they go and do something crazy. Not to mention the fact that they are each ALL BOY and all running and on the loose but still at a age where they test and I must correct. It can be pretty wearing some days and I have to remind myself to be thankful for simple accomplishments in the day. We all ate and bathed, did homework, threw a load of laundry in and an extra is I vacuumed the car out. The rest will all be there tomorrow all over again.
When Brad is out of town and the times we can talk on the phone, we talk about how work is for him and how these little boogers are. I love to tell and he loves to laugh and listen. Gavin is our crazy sleeper. He is a night owl who loves sleep and loves to sleep in. This is his father exactly! He even gets extremely pissed and cranky if you try and wake him to the point where I am a bit scared. His mind is always working at night on ways to fight going to sleep. Here he moved everything to the floor because like other nights, why use a comfy bed??
Morning bed tackles on top of Daddy.
Brad instinctively protects his head. That is not how he sleeps. He is covering himself from any head, foot or weapon!
Gavin with Chase started the “Mini Kickers” soccer league. It is a little fundamentals soccer program for a month or so long once a week and they do drills and scrimmage together. Gavin is so digging it and once a week is not enough. This is his first thing I have signed him up for and he has physically and socially been ready for a while. For a four year old with sports in our area it is limited to a few options though.
Look at these handsome soccer studs. Also, I can’t help but throw this picture in where Gavin was almost one and Bradley was three and on this league. It was the fall league that Bradley was in so this was October 2010.
Craziness out on the field with 20 preschoolers. Gavin loved the excitement of getting a new soccer ball just for him and for the weeks prior he was telling everyone including strangers and grandparents, guess what? My mommy signed me up for soccer!!” It was so cute and since he did not know all of what that meant his face lit up to see shin guards on his legs and to have cool cleats too.
Showing off his new shirt right after his first practice. As we drove away he said “That was cool – let’s do it again tomorrow!”
Bradley has also started baseball this March and since I don’t have a picture of that, here are the boys playing at the park while he practices last Saturday morning. Brad has taken him to some and I think I have not wanted to embarrass him so no pictures yet but he is doing good and hitting those balls.
Saturday great weather , jumping in undies and pjs in the evening.
Down to important business of the week when you just have maintenance things that need to get done. Easton had his six month clean up on St. Patrick’s Day so he was wearing his lucky shirt but it didn’t rub any luck off on me. He had no cavities which is lucky but I was hoping for a cry free cleaning. Nope! I had to hold him down and he screamed. Then the kids just kills me because afterwards he tells the dentist and Daddy, “I did great!” Really, define “great” Easton? Was that the part when you hid behind me or screaming with the tools in your mouth? It was all worth it though. Bradley and Easton have teeth tight together and can be prone to cavities in between teeth so it is important at his young age as he eats like a grown adult to have a cleaning. Then to hear him tell people seriously using his hands… “I got toofbrush, toofpape and a ticker” made my heart beam. He still is a no “s” as a first letter peaker ( I mean speaker.)
Then just this week after chic fil a since Bradley got to have some with a friend out before wrestling practice the boys got their hair cuts. It so needed to be done for Easton so I got an inch and a half off which looks really short right now. I am holding out for the humidity so his curls will get even curlier. It will give him more time to grow it long this summer. Gavin’s hair isn’t always the greatest after those in and out hair cute places. His blonde underneath the red makes it look choppier than what they even do. He requested a spike style too. Easton finally does great and this is his second time not being scared of haircuts and Gavin’s third time. Gavin gets impatient if they take too long though. Who would ever guess impatience in him!!
