Go Twins!

My friend Julie, who I adore for many reasons, but especially because she has two boys similar in age to mine and really gets the brothers/boy thing and my life in general,  called at the 11th hour to ask us to go to a Twins game.  The seats were in a box.  Well, that is the way to kick off our start to pro baseball games.  :)  So we went and had a great time.  The Twins beat the Oakland A's 2-0.  As with most outings we stayed a hair too long and were stressing about the traffic getting out but who knew that the tickets also came with a special parking garage that was super speedy.  I may never get the cheat seats again! :)  Thank you to the Deitlin's for a fabulous afternoon.

The boys.

 Micah was surprisingly into the game.

Tidy

N: "Mom, do you see how I cleaned up my room."
Me: "Wow Noah, it looks great in here.  Thank you."
N:  "I shoved it all under my bed."
Me:  Momentarily speechless.  "Oh, well that isn't really cleaning it up."
N:  Now speechless but clearly pleased enough with the results not to care.

Moving on.

Summer treat

Say Cheese

Three kids in one photo is easy.  Getting all three to smile or something close to it is impossible but pretty funny.

 

Preschool

Noah finished preschool on May 10th.  We are fortunate to have found a wonderful preschool that is a good fit for our family.  Noah has adored his teachers and made special friends.  Most importantly he has had such a positive start to his education.

1st day of preschool this year

last day

Mom and Noah shot at the end of year ice cream social.   Can you tell that he was eager to go run play with his pals?

Summer Fun

Noah and I whipped up our Summer List today.  It rained all day and ended up being a bit of a brutal morning.  I decided it was time to make a list of activities that can serve as go tos on tough days as well as things to look forward to.  Here's to an enjoyable summer.

Marriage material

Noah (smiling):  "Mom, Drew told Josie that he wants to marry her."

Me:  "Drew must really like her."

N:  "Yeah."

Me:  "Is there anyone you like so much that you would want to marry?"

N:  "Yeah, Celia."

Oh melt.
