Investigating a Ladybug

Investigating a Ladybug - Both kids were doing just fine until the ladybug's wings fluttered just a bit. Madeline screeched and both kids jumped back in opposite directions. The ladybug landed on the sidewalk probably a little dazed and confused.

Fun feeding ducks ... and fish

Bike Riding

She's a bike rider.

And so is he!

I think it is time for a larger bike.

There's nothing to this. I have all the grace, balance, and speed I need.

Crazy Kids

Check out this power kick. I will get this one past Dad for sure. Or maybe he will just be really distracted by my outfit... ;-)

While watching a "moomie", Evrit decided he needed to get moisterized. He found a sealed tub of Cetaphil cream and rubbed it ALL over. Notice his legs, cheek, desk, and cream container. When I walked in the room and found him, he wanted to rub cream on me too. Crazy kid! ("moomie" = movie; He was watching a TV show on PBS Kids.)

Evrit Finally Decided to Play Soccer

Evrit finally decided to play soccer. See him run (on the left).

We were all VERY excited and cheered for him loudly!

Go Evrit, GO!!!!

Card Party

Madeline is working on some thank you cards.

I want to play card party too.

Madeline is ecstatic that she has two new friends in the neighborhood.

Malcolm's Football Game #85

Malcolm is #85. Make that tackle!

Go Malcolm go! We enjoyed watching Malcolm play a little football even though we were wet and cool.

Groceries and Silly kids with Slinkies

"Evrit, you brought in the groceries, but where did you put them?" Here they are, Mom! (He said this with a disgusted tone to his voice as if I was so silly for not being able to find the animal crackers and bandages in the refrigerator.)

Silly kids with Slinkies

A little sibling wrestling started out as fun but didn't end so well (as often these things don't).

A little wrestling ...

... started out as fun between siblings.

However, let's just say it did not end well.

Soccer Practice was GREAT this Week

At soccer practice, I was a shark, and my job was to kick other people's balls away. I did very well at this game.

Do you believe it?! I actually ran and played soccer with my team at practice this week. And I was the only person on my team to score a goal. Woohoo! (Momma is so proud!)

Sad Soccer Face

I know this isn't a great picture, but it captures his current soccer game face. Saturday, he told me he was too sleepy to play. I didn't get any pictures of Madeline because I had a kickball game at the same time. However, I hear she did GREAT!

Madeline's First Soccer Game of the Season - Go Blue Rangers!

Way to go, Madeline. Kick that ball.

And there she is at goalie. She did such a great job whatever position she was playing.

Go Blue Rangers!
