Growing up a Cleveland fan has never been easy. Some would say there was a stink to it. But alas, things have started to turning Cleveland’s way. Witness the banner ceremony..with Queen playing in the back ground (mommy rocked the little guy’s world this week with an old Queen concert)…and now he routinely sings We …

Grit
This weekend Z competes in his 2nd karate championship. And we couldn’t be more proud. He’s the only 6 year old blue belt doing Form 5. And it really is a testament to the work he has put into it. We’ve spent the last week talking about confidence and grit. What they are finding is …
Summer Petals
Last week, the last of mommy’s roses were in their spender. I’ve already started the winter prep work for most of my flowers. But as I turned my efforts to the roses, a part of me stopped and rejoiced in their beauty. There stood 3 traditional roses in full bloom. A strong rebellion to all …
Birthday
Today mommy celebrates her birthday. As you get older, birthdays aren’t as fun as they used to be…but the little guy is super excited to make this day special. It started with card prep work almost 4 days ago…I know, because mommy was not allowed anywhere close to him evidently top secret work was going …
Pool Closing
In the midst of this heat wave, we had our pool closed. Sob. Sob. Seeing it with the cover on, always makes me a little sad, And I think the little guy was a little put off too. Or as he softly said, until next year pool I’ll miss ya But fear not ladies…Surf’s still …
Hot Fall
This last week has been spectacular. Beautiful fall days followed by sleeping weather nights. And we’ve made the most of it. Kick ball, baseball, basketball…you name it and we’ve probably played. It’s one of my favorite thing to do with the little guy. And the girls are loving it too…minus the balls flying over their …
Fire Safety
We were lucky to have the fire safety day next door at our park, so over we went. Now keep in mind, the little guy really didn’t want to go. But as soon as we were there, the boy was all over the place. It was really cool to see the local fire trucks from …
Golfer Delight
Have I mentioned that the little guy loves putt putt. But with him, it’s more like speed golfing from one hole to the other. And I have to say, he’s getting better. No more wandering balls into the water. Nope, he lines himself up and goes for it. We’ve been there so many times that …
Pumpkin
We finally got around to picking our pumpkins on Columbus Day. That’s pretty much been our routine for years and one mommy looks forward to. As you can see, someone was not a fan of the smell. As a real working dairy farm, it definitely has that country smell…one that mommy knows and loves. The …
A Boy’s Dream
Last weekend, we headed to an Amish store to pick out a shed. While daddy talked with the salesman, mommy and Z headed to their playground (which, of course, they were also selling) Someone was in paradise. Who could blame him, really. Wooden pirate boats and fire trucks with slides..a magical kingdom of all things …
