Yesterday Kim and Robyn came to babysit the boys and Jude’s new good friend from t-ball while Andy and I went to Les Mis. The 2 new neighbor kids, who the kids love, were also over playing in the sandbox and playset. As Andy and I were getting ready to go, I went to send the …

Jude’s Wish List
Jude takes after Andy in that he will never be satisfied with the amount of stuff he has. There is always something he wants. Jude wrote me the following wish list tonight, mostly wanting to add to his Angry Birds collection: Pink bird Orange bird Green bird White bird Hex bug (because he only has …
Jude’s Quote of the Day
Jude, speaking about him and his little brothers who were playing ninjas: “Mom, do you think we’ll go to Japan and be ninjas when we grow up?”
Asher’s Quote of the Day
Asher (aka Bobo) was running around tonight yelling out, “Super Bobo to [the] rescue!”
Progress on the Potty
Little Levi is almost 3-1/2 and should definitely be potty trained by now. He’s trying the potty, but doesn’t use it exclusively. Asher, who isn’t quite 2, occasionally also gives it a shot. Tonight I saw a look on Asher’s and just knew he was getting ready to push out a poop. I grabbed him and threw …
Levi’s Quote of the Day
We went to Andy’s brother’s new apartment for a house warming party. The parking lot was full of cars. Little Levi exclaimed, “Uncle Adam has a lot of cars!” I think he’s a comedian in the making, but Andy doesn’t think he even knows what a joke is.  We’ll see.
Jude’s Quote of the Day

Spaghetti Legs and No Pancakes at the Parade
It was another busy weekend. It started with a HopeKids movie, Descipable Me 2, which we all enjoyed. Then the boys and I headed to Litchfield for the day. (Andy stayed home to “get stuff done,” as he so often does. I have come to think that must be code for “chill out.”) We attempted …

4 Days of Fun and Getter Faster
The 4th of July weekend was great. I had 4 days off in a row, which was a huge treat. I feel like I’m been just running on fumes for awhile now and it was great to get a nice break. The boys and I painted the play set, including the new addition that Andy …
Tales from T-Ball
Jude has a full program this summer. He has karate and music on Mondays, t-ball on Tuesdays, karate on Wednesdays, t-ball on Thursdays, and karate on Fridays and Saturdays. I’m so glad I signed Jude up for t-ball in the evenings so I don’t miss it. I jump off the bus and then the boys …
