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 …

On Your Mark

So this week, daddy started the little guy on a running regimine.  Knowing the little guy’s great distaste for anything running, I was a little skeptical.  You may recall soccer and the numerous Gatorade time outs (during warm ups).  And then there was the beginning, when we first realized that he ran like Phoebe   But …

Costum

The little guy has been (impatiently) waiting for his Halloween costume to arrive.  There was much debate as to what to be..but he finally settled on Boba Fett. Or as the little guy likes to say, he’s a bad guy. But if you are like mommy and have no clue who Boba Fett is–here’s his …

Mr. Artist

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 …

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 …
