With the weather warming up and the snow melted away, the boys are back into a baseball frame of mind. Of course Kade is ALWAYS in that mindset but Mason is our surprise this year!  When we asked him a month or two ago if he wanted to play baseball, he was pretty wishy-washy.  He said he'd rather fish than play baseball 2 nights a week.  That answer wasn't a surprise and we weren't going to make him play.  

However, he had a change of heart and decided he DID want to sign up.  After asking him 8 million times if he was sure (he's never been too into sports and definitely needs some working throwing and catching) he assured us he was.  He said he's excited to get a new baseball bag 😆 Now, most nights they're out there playing catch or working on soft toss and Mason's skills have improved 10-fold!  I tell ya, he's going to be our dark horse when it comes to sports--he's going to end up blowing us all away.

I didn't take any pictures this week either so I made them pose tonight.

They were confused as to why I was taking their picture but those are some pretty great faces!

 

Guess what's coming back!!!  My Wednesday's, thats what!!  After the weirdest year ever, the boys are going back to school 5 days a week starting tomorrow.  That means I get my day back!!!  

However, Erik would never let me live it down if I didn't mention this:  a month or so ago, when they announced that school would go back to full time, Erik said, "you just wait.  The week they go back, there's going to be a huge snowstorm."  He's right, there's a big storm coming tomorrow.  They haven't called school off yet buuuuut....

I don't even care though because Wednesday is going to be 50 and sunny and we all know that's which day counts the most!!

I didn't take any pictures this week.

This is all I've got.

Trixie got fed popcorn and now she's discovered a taste for it.

This is how she sat the entire time Kade at his bowl.

It didn't even phase him.

Spear fisherman!

Also after an entire year, Kade FINALLY got his haircut professionally!!!

I told him to send me a picture.

This is what I got.

 

Is spring here?  Or is this the tease before another dumping of snow and cold weather?  Either way, we'll take what we can get!  The boys are finally back outside playing and using their imagination, instead of on a device staying warm inside.

Our driveway always gets some pretty big water puddles.

This year it's Mason's fishing hole.

Aunt Jenna wins Aunt of the Year for taking the kids swimming for FIVE hours last Wednesday!

They were exhausted and slept like babies that night!!

My boys are giants.

We went for a walk in grandpa's woods today, cut down vines and some buckthorn, had a small fire and roasted hot dogs and s'mores.
