how darn cute

Isn't he so cute?
He started cub scouts tonight. He had his first den meeting. He was so incredibly excited. Cub Scouts comes with its own set of dues and dates, of course, along with fund raising and other parental expectations. Every Monday night he and Al go to a meeting. It's getting tricky to schedule this kid's activities. Can't wait until there are more of them involved in extra-curricular activities! Connor alone has cub scouts, soccer, piano, and dance. He's either going to be incredibly well rounded, or an exhausted juvenile delinquent.

Today Aisling came home from school with a paper bag full of milkweed. Apparently they had taken a little nature walk at school today. She was very excited, and held onto the bag for a lot of the evening. At one point she was talking about pouring it into a glass. Ah ha..... she thought we were actually going to get some sort of milk. Well, it turned out to be equally exciting to tickle the boys behind the ear with the not-so-milky seeds.

We took some pictures of the kids this weekend. We went to see Wyatt's older brother's football game, and the spirit moved us to photograph the kids. Aisling wanted to wear her fourth of July sundress. I told her it was too cold. After a total meltdown we finally agreed upon the sundress with a t-shirt and jeans underneath. Siobhan, of course, had to match exactly. (So said Aisling)

Seriously, so freakin cute.

He looks cute. I still remember my first night of cubs over 45 years ago.

Heather---I still remember when you shared with me and my husband Glenn that this was the married bed :) You have quite the family.

Kevin and well even Kendyl used to be involved in tons of activities when they were younger. Not so much now as they are teenagers and gosh---they are responsible to get themselves places not Glenn or me.

Got everyone out of the huse this morning---Whew---Kevin and Kendyl were gone to school by 7. Interns for Up With People gone by 8. Glenn was gone by 9. I have a meeting at 11 :) I am doing the interns laundry today--glad they won't be home until this evening around 8. Cute Kids. Keep laughing even when you want to cry :( Have an awesome day--Pam

I still remember dropping Kendyl off at swim lessons with Kevin in the car, He was in tow as you guessed it---I would drop off and get back to the car lickety split to get Kevin off to Kick boxing, only to drop him off to turn around and pick up Kendyl from swim lessons to get back in the car to go pick up Kevin from kick boxing.

With both kids in the car we would dash home for lunch and finish to go to soccer day camp. Breathe Pam Breathe---Take a big deep breath as it is now evening and time to rest and regroup for another day tomorrow.
