Wordless Wednesday...

Bball season has come to an end...

Yes, basketball season has come to an end for Mr. T. He played on the Warriors in the Pee Wee league this year and loved it!! He started out a little timid and a "little stand off-ish" according to his coach, but has come full circle and really got out there and played the game. He made new friends, learned the rules of the game, and just had a great time. His team came in 3rd place in the division, and he was so excited to add another trophy to his collection! :)

All good things must come to an end...but have no fear...baseball (for both boys) started today! :)

**note...this picture was taken at 7am on a Saturday morning, and the poor little fella was so sick, but he didn't want to miss out on picture day. Can't you see the sad little eyes?! My poor little guy**

Sporty Spice....

I love being the mom to boys, it's so fun and really...never a dull moment. Seriously, I am always on the run! Mr. T is involved in everything possible, I break out in a cold sweat when he comes running out of his classroom with a brightly colored flier in his hand and a smile from ear to ear. Because I know, I know exactly what he's going to tell me...there's another sport/activity/or thingy to volunteer for. Which means, we'll be living in my car!! Now, don't get me wrong, I love that he is so passionate about sports, and his activities, but every now and again, I do love a day of nothing too!! ;)

On one particular "day of nothing" the boys decided to draw, the pulled out the little Rubbermaid tote of pens, colored pencils and crayons. They had a huge stack of paper, and got down to business. They laughed, they shared ideas, and Mr. T even helped Big J spell a few big words! It was super cute! Guess what they drew....oh, you know it! FOOTBALL! Yup, if they can't go outside and play it, or watch it on TV, they'll draw about it! hee hee! Check out my little guys' artwork! (Big J's is on the top, and Mr. T's is of course, on the bottom!!) They just melt my heart! (notice the backwards S on the Steelers? Hee hee! So sweet)

Holy smokes....

Okay, so I'm a slacker! I really really am! Well, you have to admit, admitting you have a problem is the first step...right? That's what "they" say, anyway! I can't believe that I was last here in the summer! Scary how fast time flies! Well, a recap of what has happened since!

Mr. T started 1st grade, Big J is officially in his last year of preschool (whoooh!), our summer was great! Ended with a good sized family reunion at our casa, and it was so fun to see everyone! The boys love their grown up cousins (yup, that's all they have, the grown up kind!) In October, Big J turned 5, with a party fit for a pirate! Arrrrgh! November came and went, I got a holiday job at Macy's and although I missed everyone's fun Christmas parties, I had so much fun! (the discount was the best!) Our holidays were great, Papa T and I ran in the New Year and celebrated 12 years of wedded bliss! :) In January, I started teaching in Big J's class in the mornings, covering the director's maternity leave. It's so fun, and I'm enjoying the kids so much! Feb has been busy and now we're on to March. Macy's called me back...yeah, but I can't swing it all so I'm going to have to gently turn them down. (I want an opportunity to work there at a later date, just not right now). Mr. T and Papa T will be celebrating some birthdays this month, and boy...I'm tired thinking about all we have going on in March! Tiger Cubs, T-ball, baseball, and lots and lots of family fun of course! :)
