Be ready for picture overload..
Friday, after Popup by the pool, Mr. Walt came down and was talking to everyone. My boys loooove Mr. Walt! Cal was constantly messing with him and he finally asked if he could throw Cal in the pool fully dressed. I said sure! He threw Cal in and then Andy ran and jumped in...fully clothed. They were laughing so hard-- it was worth the wet clothes to listen to them laughing.
After some pool time, we ran home to shower and then went to Chuck E Cheese for Brad's birthday party! Andy Williamson loves this place. He talks about it constantly and wants to go here every single day. It is his happy place.... see?
He's a little bit small to do it all all by himself, so I had to kind of follow him around for some of the rides/games. He was so much fun to watch though, because he was just SO happy the whole time!
Cal sat next to Jackson-- his buddy who we found out is in the same kindergarten class (!!!!). They are so cute together.
Sally's dad comes to her kids' parties and takes THE best pictures! He got this one of Lee and Andy-- love their crazy smiles!
(just realizing I didn't get one picture with Cal and the birthday boy...!!! What in the world?!?!)
The older boys really watch after my boys and I just love their friendship. They rough house like brothers...but they all really adore each other... it's really neat....and I am grateful!
We had a big group all plopped in the middle of the stands...
We looked over and saw the UNC basketball team sitting right next to us. T, who broke his arm that am had a fresh cast on and the players were happy to sign it for him! (please note Andy in the bottom picture...)
So, Andy wanted to have his shirt signed too... right on the gut. He got 4 signatures and was thrilled...
And then these two dumped water on their heads and acted like crazy people.
We went home and the boys crashed hard. I sat outside the boys' doors for bed time and this big white dog does.not.leave.my.side. He is always about an inch from me. He sits right there with me why I wait.
Saturday morning, Andy had tee ball. When it was time to leave, Cal was still asleep, so I stayed home with him. I got this picture from Eddie-- it was "medal" day.
Cal and I took Bruce for a walk and when Eddie got home with Andy, we hit the pool! It was SUCH a fun pool day! A bunch of fun kids, fun moms and fun dads! Everyone was in great moods and it was just one of those days that makes you happy when looking back on it-- so cheesy, right? Everything was just great! hahaha
Andy and Jane played super heroes together....
We came home from the pool and the boys showered up and cuddled up on the couch. It was a low key night and it was lovely!
We headed to church Sunday morning. Seeing these two dressed up made me one proud momma. They got some new kicks last week during some back to school shopping-- they were in need of church shoes!
After church, we walked across the street for lunch at Sutton's...
We headed home and the boys went on a bike ride (their obsession) while I took Bruce on a long walk. They were ready to go in the car! #safetyfirst
They came back from the ride (Andy wiped out and took out a pre-existing wound which re-opened and looks nasty.) The boys rested on the couch while I headed to the grocery store to stock up for the week. I planned out the dinners for the week-- shocker!!-- so I had quite a list.
The boys rode their bikes to the neighborhood pond to go fishing (do you see a trend here? There is a post about biking coming up soon....).
After dinner, the boys asked to take a bath-- they usually only take showers, so I said sure. Andy got in first and then Cal came running and all but belly flopped in the tub. His poor knee looks so awful. He doesn't care.
I can't believe they can still fir side by side in the tub. They had the best time laughing, splashing (way too much) and being crazy boys.
It was a GREAT weekend and a great way to wrap up summer.
Most schools are starting today. Cal's school starts, but they do a gradual entry for kindergarteners. Monday and Tuesday, kids have one 30 minute appointment for an assessment and then Wednesday, kids with last name in the first half of the alphabet go, Thursday kids with second half of the alphabet go and then Friday the whole grade goes. SOOoooooo, Cal won't have his "REAL" first day until Thursday!
Prayers (for both of us!) will be appreciated! hahaha
