Ball Game

happy retirement!

What better than BOTH grandmothers retiring at the same time?!  For Grandma, we attended her school party and also hosted a party at our home. 

 

For Nana, only Christopher was able to attend her school retirement party, but we look forward to her big party in the fall!

 

Beach buds

3 moms, 8 children, all away at the beach?  Yes, it was pure mayhem and wonderfully fun, exhausting and totally worth the effort. 

Father of 3!

I'd like to say we made C breakfast in bed, or at least let him sleep in on Father's Day.... hmmm, nope that didn't happen.  But we did shower him with homemade projects, and the children did all ask him for 6 different things each during meals just to make sure he felt really special. :)
We are so lucky to have Christopher as the Daddy in our family... he is always up for playtime and each child feels like the luckiest in the world when they are with him.

Strawberries

Evidently, the idea of strawberry picking was extremely enticing. The boys and I headed to the farm and the excitement continued... until we actually walked into the strawberry patch. At this point Taffe simply stated, "It's too scratchy. I don't like it."
Sigh.
Luckily, Kingston was thrilled with the strawberry patch.  "RED!!! There's one!!! RED!!!"  And after picked the reddest berries, he'd say, "Did it!!!! More!!"
 (and it was an agreed upon pajama day)

Happiest little people (well, at that moment).  Can you see how thrilled K is to be holding baby?! :)
