Brrrrrrr!

It's 64 degrees in August.  

The Southern born boys have broken out the winter clothes!

Only Colt refused.  "It looks too much like Christmas," he said!

Zane's New "Crib"

So we dismantled the crib and moved the big boy beds into Zane's room today.

The two older boys have been sleeping in the same bed for years. Now there are three.  

They have been begging for this for months.  I finally mustered the strength.

I was planning a glass of wine and a good cry, but as I closed the door, I heard Colt say "Do you like it in here Zane?"  And a small voice whispered "Yes."  I think I will be okay.

Sweet Dreams

So Walmart put all their summer pool stuff on clearance. I surprised the big boys with a couple of rocket ship floats with squirt guns attached.

The cost me $5 a piece and have been supremely popular.

The boys love being the center of attention.

Wyatt said, "Mommy, am I dreaming? I never thought I would have something this amazing at the pool."

Early Birds

Three boys, three very different reactions to a predawn flight wake up call!

Wyatt: "What are you doing it is still dark outside!"

Colt: "Are we going to hear the rooster?"

Zane: "We go up in the sky?"

Big Man on Campus

So we took Wyatt to "new student" orientation at his future elementary school.

During the self guided tours he quickly found the kindergarten playground.

On the way back to the car we passed the 1st and 2nd grade playground.

He stops to admire it and asks, "Is that college?"

Mr. Confidence

So Colt jumped off the diving board by himself and without floaties.

I said, "You are so brave!"

He said, "I know, and handsome."

Like Father, Like Son

Today Daddy and little man are matching. Zane says, "My baseketball shirt!"
