magical.excuse.me

Meredith and I were sitting on the couch together a couple of days ago.

Me: Did you toot?
Meredith: Yes.
Me: I can smell it.
Meredith: Excuse me.

A few moments later:
Meredith: Wasn't that magical?
Me: What?
Meredith: After I said "excuse me" my toot didn't stink anymore. It's magical!

Unfortunately, it wasn't magical, but it was funny.

 

let's.go.fly.a.kite

This was fun. We were able to head to our local park a couple of weeks back and fly our kites. It was a blast for all of us!

Josh did a lot of helping to get the kites back in the air. Claire was really good at flying her kite. She figured out how to run into the wind to keep the kite up in the sky!

A little airplane flew by while we were there.

And when we went to play soccer, Amelia ended up tangled in the soccer net. Who hasn't had this happen to them? :)

So, the next time that you say, "What should we do on this breezy day?" Definitely consider taking your kids and your kites to the park. Fun. Fun. Fun.

I know we're a little late in this, but I just had to post about our first day of school.

So, if only Meredith had an ounce of personality, her pictures would have been much more exciting. First day of Pre-K:

Claire's first day of first grade:

And who can forget Amelia....doing what she does best.

 

kickball.game

We had so much fun a few weeks ago when Josh's company hosted a kickball game! How much fun is that?!! The kids even got to play!

It was a fun little family outing complete with Cracker Jack and Lemonade. We can't wait to do it again next year!

I picked these up at our local resale about a month ago. They're a new favorite. A tutu and hot pink cowboy boots...that Meredith is such a trend-setter.
