My company had an outing to the St. Paul Saints last Sunday. This was two days after Christopher’s surgery so I got to carry him for miles and miles and up and down stairs all through the stadium. Wheeee!
Apparently the Saints won – we left in the 5th, which was longer than most other families with small children. The Saints do something between every inning too…contests, singing, promotions, giant eyballs racing, playing horseshoes with hunks of meat, dumping a mystery container over somebody’s head (someone a few rows up got sour yogurt dumped on them)…but still the kids were “soooooo bored”. Beth’s parents came up and got to go to the game too. And the kids got free carboard masks at the game (Colleen’s headless picture creeps me out)…
Remember a month ago when I wondered what was going on in front of my house? I still have no idea, but the toys they are bringing in keep getting bigger and badder. I’ve always wanted to live on a windy dirt road, but this isn’t actually what I pictured.
You can always hope that if the kids see what goes into a meal and have so much fun making it that they will eat it. Nope.
The yard is starting to brighten up. We’ve had a ton of rain so everything is shooting up now.
And we had a great Father’s Day. Breakfast in bed, went for a bike ride, fired up the grill, watched Tiger tie things up, made a camp fire, ate s’mores, played outside with the kids, almost watched the Celtics put it away…lazy and perfect. Here the kids are with marshmallow everywhere (I don’t know how Colleen and Megan got so much in their hair). And, no, I don’t have any favorites, it just so happens that one of the kids decided to cooperate (Colleen is getting smarter about asking “is this going on your web page?”).
Looks like you are having a fun summer. We talked about making s’mores a few weeks ago. From the picutures I think I see why we haven’t made them. I bet Rahjah would do a good job cleaning up the fingers and faces.
Raja wouldn’t even touch Megan’s hands this time!!!
