Today we went and picked up Nathan’s gear for soccer which starts on September 8th. We met with his team and coach (who also happens to be his buddy, Brennan’s, dad) who gave us our schedule, info on playing, snack and drink schedule, picture info and a list of recommended…

Getting excited!
Today we went to a get-to-know-you open house of sorts with Nathan’s new Suzuki violin teacher, Mrs. Dexter (a.k.a., Jean). Nathan really enjoyed listening to all of the current students play some and also enjoyed the yummy treats afterwards! I could tell that the kids there really respect and enjoy…

Spaceship playground.
David started taking the kids this weekend to a new playground. It’s actually the play area at the elementary school in our subdivision. They were able to go both Saturday and Sunday (twice on Saturday!) and really love it! It’s actually really cool for parents too because it’s nice and…

Mom tip #372
Benadryl rocks. Yeah, I am pretty sure this is written somewhere but until today, I had never actually tried it. I gave Will some Benadryl today and he’s been asleep for two and a half HOURS! Next to the nine months he was in my womb, I’d have to say…

Mom’s back-to-school needs.

Who’s who?
David took this with his phone yesterday while he was home with the boys and I was out on some appointments. When he first showed it to me, he had me guess who was who and I guessed WRONG! Their heads are just so interchangable, it’s hard to tell them…

Today I had an errand to run at a local kids consignment shop. I managed to browse through since they were having a great sale and because I also had a store credit I needed to use. I managed to find a great Gap button down dress shirt for N8…

The next superhero??
I wasn’t sure whether Nathan was trying to play a firefighter, pirate, or golfer, but either way he looked too funny NOT to snap these. When I later questioned him about his choice in costumes, he told me very matter-of-factly that he was a firefighter. The black pirate eye patch…

Reading, reading, everywhere!
Yesterday before leaving for errands I had sat Will down on top of the washer to put his shoes on before walking out the door. Nathan was standing in front of the dryer just patiently waiting for us to wrap up. All of a sudden he looks up at me…

Restaurant review: Nathan’s Cafe.
In true entrepreneurial spirit (mostly inherited from his Dad), Nathan opened up “Nathan’s Cafe” this evening serving a delish array of play-doh delicacies. He served me a green oatmeal raisin cookie for my after-meal treat. Upon asking him what kind of establishment “Nathan’s Cafe” was, he had informed me that…
