Twilight Race

 Little Man had his Olathe Twilight race late tonight.  He finally got his sub 20 time he's be chazing foe a while.  He got a 19:34.

Friday Night Lights

 BB had a soccer game right as the sun was going down.  He had an awesome goal the first half and then played a great second half at goal.  He had a particularly awesome save charging forward to grab the ball from the other team. 

Little Guy wasn't exactly the most enthusiastic cheer squad.

A Field of Sunshine

 I look forward to the sunflowers every year at Grinter's Farm.  This year we went early in the morning, and pretty much had the place to ourselves.  The stars aligned, and everyone was in a great mood.  We were laughing so hard trying to get a jumping picture.  I don't know why we struggled so hard this year, but it was hilarious. 

I love these humans of mine.

Mini squares

The small squares of fabric in these blocks are time consuming, but it's always fun using scraps, and making something bigger out of them.  Stella thought she was being helpful, but she mostly just sat on the scraps.

An Unusual Gift

 Little Man received a special gift from the girl's cross country team last night. 

The only complication was that our sprinklers went off that morning, so we had to wait for the toilet paper to dry out before removing it off the grass. 

The little boys thought it was the coolest thing ever, and now they want to be in high school (heaven help us).  Little Man was pleased by the honor, because the girls only toilet paper top runners on the team. 

A Busy Saturday

 We started out the morning with Little Man's opening cross country meet of the season at JCCC.  He got a new personal record, but he was a bit frustrated, because he really wanted to be under 20 minutes.  He got a 20:20.  I have a feeling he'll shave those 20 seconds in no time. 

In the evening the little boys had back to back soccer game.  Little Guy's game was first, and then BB's game was second.  BB does such a good job at goalie.  It's stressful to watch, but he's in his element.  They won their first game of the season, so they were really happy. 

A Little Extra

Little Guy is sad he's all by himself for the first time in elementary school.  He says he misses saying "hi" in the hallway to his siblings.  That doesn't mean he isn't learning a lot and having fun.  I got a post of all his facial expressions he had to make for Spanish mood vocabulary, and they made me laugh.  He knew the assignment and went a little extra.  That pretty much explains his personality in general.  You probably can guess the emotion for all of them. 

Mr. MVP

Baseball is back in session, and BB is in his element.  He was MVP of his game last night.  He hit a double, got an RBI and stole home to earn a run.  He also was part of a double play at 1st base.  He smile says it all.
