Jack Loves the Sprinkler

A Day at the Races

Rich has decided to do something special with each of the boys this summer. Carson has always loved race cars. He is mesmerized when Nascar is on TV and he plays with matchbox cars all the time. Oxford Plains Speedway seemed like the perfect father-son outing. Binoculars and snacks in hand, they were off to the races. I called to see how things were going and all I could hear was the revving of engines. Super loud! Rich had to buy Carson a $15 pair of earmuffs. The speedway was family friendly and they had a great time.

Kisses and Curly Hair

What do kisses have to do with curly hair? Carson, my five year old, has it all figured out. He thinks that he has curly hair because I kiss and hug him too much. "Stop it," he says. "I don't want curly hair!" Kids are so funny sometimes.

Take Me Out to the Ballgame

Last night we met my brother and his family to watch a Sea Dogs game. Rich and I were hesitant to take them because in years past they have been terrified of Slugger, the team mascot. Last year when Slugger came near Nathan for a high five, the poor dog was met with screaming and hysterical crying. So far, all was going well. The kids were settled in their seats and Jack finally realized he was not going to be running down the isle. Slugger makes his approach.....

What's this? No crying? No jumping onto mom's lap?

I guess my boys are really growing up.
