A Sunny Saturday

It was an early Basketball game today.  I was not very motivated at getting everyone out the door by 8am on a Sat morning so it was a father son outing.  I really would like to go and cheer him on and try my hand at shooting inside a sm gym but that early game is a push for all of us.  He had a great time, made some baskets and seemed to enjoy playing.

 Today was a beautiful day, the sun was shinning and the snow was melting.  Both Ron and I were able to get out on the river path to do some exercise, thankfully Riverparks has money had plowed the path-but we still both ran/road into some slick spots.  The kids had a fun day just hanging out.  I remember Saturday as a work day and having lists of jobs to complete before we were allowed to play.  I realize that this was just as much a job for my parents as it was for us kids.  I don't have the energy...or selfishly the time to make the kids work on Sat....so they play, and we are all happy!  James is happy as long as I am within sight.  I tried to take pictures of him today and almost all of them his is crawling like a mad man at the camera-I was out of reach for this one.

 Becca is the valentine queen in our house.  She is always working on something, today it was decorating a box for all her valentines.  She gets such a determined look on her face when she is working.

I don't have any pictures of Andrea-she actually napped today.  She is still just a silly as can be, and I get such a laugh listening to her.  Today she stood in the middle of the living room and yelled "Becca where are you???"  Becca, yelled back-"In the potty"  Andrea, OH.....DO YOU WANT TO PLAY BARBIES?? I think it is most funny to hear because she has such a funny little accent and is always so animated-she hardly says her r's. 

All the kids spent a lot of time playing outside this afternoon.  When I asked them what they did over dinner they all got a sheepish look on their face, then Becca said-we made yucky stuff....which means MUD.  Thankfully they just had fun and didn't need to be hosed down.
