Spring Cleaning & Bird Update

Unintentionally,

I am teaching T how to help with laundry...

one article at a time...

that was the longest washer to dryer transfer

I have ever witnessed in my life - 

but he enjoyed it!

(and NO my laundry area does not

ALWAYS look THAT bad!!)

Then mommy actually let him push the buttons to start it!!!

We start 'em young around here!

Speaking of laundry...

Saturday, when we were getting ready for

our last baseball and soccer games...

my dear sweet husband commented on the 

amount of stains on our oldest boys

white baseball pants.

I smiled and said:

"Well, when I tried to get them super clean

back at the beginning of the season,

YOU told me not to.

Because you said it made it look like

he rode the bench and didn't actually play

enough to get dirty"

Oh you should have seen the smirk on that man's face!

His reply - grinning ear to ear...

"Ha, well that sounds like something I would say

but I don't remember saying that".

Well ya did dear, and I did as you asked...

I sent my son to games with stained baseball 

britches cause you wanted to make sure people 

knew he PLAYED!

Hahahaha!!!

Here are our little sports stars with 

their medals.

Unfortunately, I was helping pass out trophies for

R's team and I forgot to get a picture of him

and his medal 

(and dirty pants)

Last week, R has discovered my blog 

- so he spent quite 

a bit of time over a 2 day period catching up

with what was going on in his life!  

Gotta make sure I continue to keep it R friendly!

(haha!)

And finally -

 a bird update:

They have all outgrown the nest.

But they continue to come home almost every night to sleep.

The babies perch on the rim of the nest,

while mommy and daddy hang out on the porch ledge.

Then one of the kids accidentally picked out

the perfect book for us to read after lunch last week:

It is about how Clifford finds a robin egg

and he and Emily Elizabeth take care of it til it hatches

and then release it back into the wild.

Super cute story to wrap up our baby bird watching!

Man those things grow QUICK!!!
