A playdate full of cousins

 

Rin Rin left the kids here the other day while she did some shopping with Momo.  They had a very fun time, oh the kids did too. :)

It had just rained recently and Drew LOVED that the ground was squishy enough to hold his ball upright so he could practice his kick-offs.

 

Jett will ONLY give me this face lately.  He told me it is his scary face….

another version…

….and another……

Luke, whose injury is healing nicely….

 

 

Drew was so determined to draw me on the ground.  I love him….

  Lila is the only girl I know who goes for the gun outside, picks it up, and immediately starts pointing it yelling pow-pow.

The night ended with ice cream sundaes.

and this is Lulu’s best face……showing her teeth :)

 

Boys scare me

The other day Luke and Drew were playing light saber football.  Yeah, whatever that is.  Except, instead of light saber Luke was using a long cardboard tube.  The end of the tube got stuck on the carpet when he was running……….and this was the result. 

:(  Good thing he was very tough.  Now, lets hope it doesn’t leave scars.

Drew and Lila….two peas in a pod….

Drew and Lila get along very well.  I think it has something to do with their love of food.  These two little beefcakes can power through food.  Day or night. :) 

It helps that they both think the other one is oh so funny….

Oh Lulu plant one on me!!

Drew always tells me “Baby Lila is soo cute”

and come on, don’t you agree??!

I think this little face is so cute too….

 

  Silly kids.  :)

Luke….my lil artist

Our school had a school wide arts contest.  The theme was “Together We Can”

Here he is before the ceremony…..

And he won!  The Award of Merit! He was SOOO excited because he got his very first medal. 

oh…and he also got a free coupon for chic-fil-a :)

afterwards they had a reception (with his favorite brownies….that ranked up there with the medal).  And here was his artwork.  He thought of the idea and did it all himself.  I was a proud Momma.  Oh….and all the kids are kids in his class…. :)

I wish the boy did something else but football….

 

but he doesn’t.  the child lives, breathes, and dreams about pigskin.

every single day he dresses himself (which i do love!) in something football related.  when those get dirty he goes to john’s closet.  literally.

he told me that he is the quarterback and marley is his linebacker.

 

don’t ask about the snow boots, i have no idea….

drew can name almost every starting quarterback in the nfl.  this will translate to academics someday, right?!

 

but dang, isn’t he cute? :)

Happy Halloween!

Halloween is a very popular holiday with these boys.  I think the costumes rank higher than the candy!  Drew was, of course, Drew Brees….and staying with the first name thing, Luke was Luke Skywalker.  I think they got dressed at 10am.  

Of course Luke Skywalker needs a Darth Vader bucket

The crew of boys

Little Ruby was a pea pod….and not happy about the cold.

Drew would have worn the outfit to bed if he could have…..shoulder pads and all

 

 

Darth Vader aka Jett

Lila was a bit nervous…..at first.  Then girlfriend had no problem leading the pack.

 

 

Our little family

Rin Rin’s little family…

Love this sassy one

 

 

Last year Drew stopped at this house to check out the pumpkins and this year he did the same thing
