Week in Rewind: April 22

So this week, we sprung into spring. The weather is changing, flowers are sprouting up and the skies are turning blue.  So, there has been lots of outside time in this family. After a weekend of mulching, the gardens are finally done. Of note, the little guy was more interested in climbing the mulch than spreading it. As for the girls, let's just say they are awesome supervisors.

We pulled another double hitter on Tuesday. Karate and then tball. And the little guy did great in both. But what mommy is most impressed with is his grade card. He did awesome. Really cool to see how far he has come. The teacher called him studious and kind. Music to my ears.

Week in Rewind: April 15

I'm not going to lie, we're ready for spring. This cold spell needs to go. And warm, bright sunshine needs to return. 

Because we are ready for some t-ball. And someone looked darn cute in his uniform...and adult male helmet. Yes, I said it...adult male helmet. Let's be honest, the boy has a massive cabassa. As in I don't think kid's size ever really fit. 

The boy put on a show during the season opener. Second time up to bat he walloped it into the outfield.  And yes, he raced across home plate, calmly passing three other little kids. Pick up the pace, fellas.  I've spotted a cute little chickaroo on the sidelines. Not bad for a back to back night of karate and baseball. 

Cute factoid of the week. The boy is ready for ComicCon, that big event where weird dudes dress up in character for their national convention.  We sat down last weekend to watch the latest Star Wars (because one super awesome mommy pre-ordered the blue ray). Anyway, the boy suddenly disappeared...only to reappear as a storm trooper. Which was cool and all until he fell asleep with it on.  One would think it would be easy to get that custom off a sleeping child..I can confirm that it is not. 

Week in Rewind: April 8

It's been one of those quick, long weeks.  Someone really is starting to love StarvWars. Notice the storm trooper that he intended to hide in his backpack for school. Mommy put a quick stop to that one. But he also is now loving to wear his LL Bean jacket, a change of heart from the fall. When I asked why?  The response, Fenn wears this jacket.

It occurred to me that the little boy really loves his sports. We played so much basketball during Easter. And the little guy drives right in there with the big guys. And then there's baseball. The boy loves to hit the ball. And by hit, I mean over the practice fence, causing everyone to run...because he did it three or four straight times. Notice the leg kick, daddy taught him that one. We now call it his power stance.  A boy is a sports uniform ladies.

It came in like a hurricane. Okay, so weather around here has been a little crazy.  Beautiful 70 degree weather, horrible cold winds, snow showers, all within the last couple of days. Welcome to April.

Before the weather turned, we captured these awesome pictures of the little guy under the wheeping Cherry tree. We've taken this very picture since he arrived. At that time, he was so tiny. Now, he almost has to duck to get under it. So you can see, I got one serious picture and one goofy.

Speaking of winds, daddy ran like the wind in it last Sunday. He placed 3rd overall, 1st in age group for the Cesar Rodney 5k. Honestly, I don't know how he does it. The wind was cold and brutally fast. I would have been running in place. But daddy cut threw it and ran like a gazelle. Yeah daddy.
