Joe's Yball Medal!

Today Joe had fun at his last Y-ball game.

I was really impressed with him during his games.

He tried so hard every time down the court!

He scored 4 buckets today

And was very proud of his basketball medal

Tinsy Pieces of the Past

My mom was a lover of all things little, details.  

Ah, who am I kidding...so am I.  Seriously I love the I Spy books, I think this is why!

I just smile when I look at this pile (does anyone see the little set of teeth, ha, sorry don't know that story)

But I do know the story on most of the rest,

I remember these items neatly tucked away in their own cubby on the printers tray hung in our hallway.

I have had them all in a baggie in the cabinet for years confused what to do with them.

They are not items that have a story for my boys. But I  think they can still enjoy them. 

And understand why my mom kept them, glad she did.

As I look around our house, I see items of ours that I will add when we outgrow them.

Printers blocks my mom collected that had the first initial of each our names and last name <3 p="">

I am so her daughter, when sorting these into a pile, I knew immediately which ones I would find. 

Tinsy cast iron train, the wheels roll

Avon lady treasures

A band medal of mine and wayward monopoly shoe

Tinsy pepsi bottle

They are tucked away in this jar, with room to add my own tinsy treasures.

I smiled when I found these treasures and I smiled as I made this post.

It is amazing what small little treasures can do to evoke warm memories

Dr Seuss Week

This week was Dr. Seuss week at school.  His birthday is today I believe. 

Sam really got into it this year.  His teacher (Mrs. Wagler, love her) asked for students

to bring some of their books so there were many copies to share, he chose these.

Minus the Digging-est Dog...it was mine when I was little and it was

apparently a favorite.  Because it is very worn and some ready-to-fall-out pages

and

I can just about recite it by heart when I read it to the boys:)

After school Thurs we got Drew because Jbird had a math competition (and they won!!)

Drew put his swimtrunks in his backpack so it was clear to tell what he wanted to do!

There was superhero/castle play

And then they asked for green eggs and ham,

and that is what they got!

I am in love with this Dr. Seuss that Sam drew.

Love it, frame worthy right by our bookcase!

And I left the boys in DH's care for a very 

serious supper meeting for work.

Very Serious, can you tell?

And I came home to tent city

Some other fun projects this month, loved these cupcakes

And Mr. Joe has learned all the important words he needs to know

and apparently Blake is now a member of our family
