Lately, Zachary has been on a tear with artistic productions. Z originals if you will. What mommy loves about it is that he draws things that he thinks you will like. For me, that usually revolves around the sun, flowers and rainbows. See today’s pictutet drawn before school. The boy nailed it, especially on …
Month: September 2016
Jack O Lantern
Last weekend, we headed over to our local pumpkin market. I’ve been holding on to summer…but let’s be honest the times are a changing. So off we went and it was packed. Zachary is in the process of deciding on a costume: Star Wars related, ninja, fireman, or Dracula. The boy clearly is puzzled as …
School Rocks.
So we are a little over a month into school. And so far the boy is loving it. I love watching his knowledge growth. One of my favorite times is driving to karate and hearing him school me on different subject matter. Give the boy a soap box and watch out! This week, we got …
Mad Man
Like any family, we have our moments. I just happened to capture this gem when he got mad losing to daddy at water polo. Let’s just say someone is not a fan of losing, especially to daddy. This promptly led to a time out and a talk about what went wrong. And we had our …
Running World
Last weekend, daddy ran the Philly Rock n Roll Half Marathon. As usual, he did very well, top 4% overall. The little guy was super excited. So when daddy got home, he presented him with a hand drawn gift. On the surface it appeared to be super sweet. I mean the sun is shining in …
Legos
Ever wonder how one little gift turns into a quest to own a massive pile of Legos. And why was I not more aware of this growing obsession. I need more, more, more, said the mad king. Legos, Legos, Legos, you are everywhere and are quickly becoming mommy’s number one enemy. Bins full of them, …
Odds n Ends
It was a crazy fast week for us. Work was nutty. School work continued on. Karate kept us moving. And this weekend, daddy is running the Rock n Roll Half Marathon. What would life be without controlled chaos. We did manage to get the pool several times this week….cold water doesn’t stop the boy. With …
Back to School
So Tuesday was a busy day for us, but I made time to go to the Back to School night. The little guy was so excited for me. He kept telling me that there was a big surprise..and in a serious tone said “mommy, act surprised” Well that big surprise was a big life side …
Blue Belt
Last week, the little guy had his next belt test. We are proud to announce that we have a blue belt in the family! And the boy is rocking that swag. He has come so far from where we began. This was the boy who shyly looked on and refused to go up in front …
Labor Day
Our Labor Day was action packed. My parents and uncles arrived on Thursday night. On Saturday, we took off early for Texas to watch the SC/Bama game. So much fun…result of game, not so much. It was really cool to see the Trojan family out representing, even in an embarrassing lose. As for Jerry World..it …
