Dinner with a Knight and Dragon

August 30, 2015
Yeah, it was just Wendy's but Snappy and Papa got lots of smiles while having dinner with a knight and a dragon.





State Fair

August 29, 2015
The Humm kiddos had a fun State Fair time with Grandma and Grandpa!  By the looks of the treats in these pics it was a SWEET time.











Five Little Ducks

August 27, 2015
These ducks and ducklings spend quite a bit of time together during the summer.


 I don't know about this Holden.  Snappy and Papa watched True Detective and these sticks sort of creep me out.

Soccer Practice

August 26, 2015

C starts his first soccer practice but look at that sweet K with his hand on his belly button wishing he would stay out on that field too.



And then there is this

And then there are these kind of pics that Snappy sorts through!  What is this????  Boys.


LOVE.THIS.

Snappy has no idea what is going on here on August 26, 2015 but all she can say is I. Love. This.

White Belt

August 2015
Connor might be kicking a soccer ball but these two were ready for TaiKwonDo class!
(Just a dose of reality - this is really December as Snappy enters this and G called today to ask me how we know Santa loves TaiKwonDo  - because he has a black belt!)







Sleep Griffin Sleep

August 26, 2015
Griffin Jon has NEVER been a solid sleeper (Snappy slept with him in her arms for the first two nights of his life and may have some responsibility for his love to snuggle) but his parents are OVER having a little voice in their ear in the middle of the night.  Solution:  two new fish.
Right next to his bed, the glow of the light, the sound of the bubbles...let's just cut the suspense and tell you that since Snappy is writing this is December, we are happy to report it worked!  G still often gets up to go to the potty but heads right back to his own bed and sleeps all night.  He's only four ...that didn't take that long, right?



Let's Kick It!

August 25, 2015
Got his uniform and he is ready to kick it! (Don't you just love that hair?)
Sister is always thinking she should be in the picture too!

Pirate Day

Oops that last post about the parish picnic was on August 23rd because of course August 24th was Pirate day!
Aye! What a wonderful seven seas it would be if all wee swashbucklers had mamas that taught them as much as 'tis one does.


Not thinkin' the old piratress knows what is going on here but it looks like some pirate fun.


Makin' the old treasure maps....don't be thinkin' you can find our booty.

Sailing off on our ship!  Is that poor bear having to walk the plank?

Parish Picnic

August 23, 2015
Fun and Games
 It is harder than it looks, huh, C?
 But it is really all about the fun and not just the prizes right?


Hard Working Helpers

August 22, 2015 and firewood has arrived.  Snappy and Papa are too old to stack all this wood....
 So we called in some reinforcements.  Hard workers too!



 And then we headed to the Farmer's Market



 Nothing says summer like shaggy haired boys eating fresh plums!
