WW: boys in action

Ready, set, play ball!

Happy Memorial Day!

Waiting for the candy parade...see how they have their bags ready!

Jack is feeling much better! We were hit by the 24 hour flu bug at our house.
First Luke and then Jack...they timed it so that I did not get to go in the office all week.

This is our annual tradition of going to the Felton Remembers Parade.
AKA candy parade all all of the paraders toss candy to the crowd!

This year it was really, really cold!

 

Up the road are the Derby Girl Maulers.

And no parade is complete with out the secret order of Clampers.

And a fire truck to end the parade...usually we go to the party at the park afterwards...but we didn't want to wear Jack out by walking so far.  So home it was.

 

Boys in the hood

Have I mentioned how awesome my neighbors are?!

They have 3 boys and one unknown on the way...
They want to be surprised.

Their boys and our boys get along famously!
Just like brothers (brothers that like each other)

So we try to help each other out by watching all boys at one time so the other gets to do something useful...like fold laundry or make dinner.
We also have movie nights so that one couple gets to go out to dinner.
I love our hood!

 

Garden planet - before

Last week (when it was sunny) I finally started planting my garden!

I love having a garden and eating all the home grown food!

I only planted half of it, in hopes of stretching the produce.
5 tomatoes, some lettuce, 2 zucchinis and 2 cucumbers.
And, last year, my peppers only did well when I planted them late in the season.

Now I need more tomatoes, peppers, basil and an eggplant!
So excited for summer!

Sprinkler time!

We have had some amazingly warm weather around here...

It was over 90 yesterday! 
And now that the evenings are longer...
the boys get more time to play.

This was a Friday night after I go home from work and looks just like a summer day!

It is supposed to go back to the normal 70s for the upcoming week,
but it sure has been nice to have a taste of summer!

 

 

New toy!

Luke now has a pitch back!
Thanks to Gma Trish.
It really is amazing what Marshells sells!

and he loves it...

so does our neighbor boy, but I didn't get a pix of him!

It really is fun and important to use it with a glove. 
I did it without and it didn't go so well.

 

WW: homemade beards

Gotta love painters tape!
Boys decided that they wanted mustaches and beards...like daddy!
If Daddy had a blue beard!
And, the boys are wearing their "handsome" shirts to boot!
