I had to do major surgery last night. Lambie, Liam’s cuddly, lost his blankie. Not sure if this is Lambie number one or number two but either way, he needed his blanket fixed. I’m also not sure how he lost his blankie but he did and his sweet owner came to me and asked me “fix it pease.” So, we started surgery. Liam was by Lambie’s side the whole time, whispering words of ocmfort (not joking!). Turns out I didn’t sew it completely on the right way and after surgery, Liam threw him down…no fear, he did sleep with him last night, though.

Concerned Daddy!

Kisses for a safe surgery!!

Alright, so we traveled to “Old McDonald’s” yesterday to meet up with some MOPS friends. The kids were all excited. They ate, played, and came home with bruises and bumps…well, two of them did. I’d thought I’d share this so everyone will know there were witnesses!

Zoe ran into Ace and pushed him into the edge of the slide. As soon as it happened, I whipped out my witch hazel (Tucks pads, for hemerroids…yeah, I know, but thanks to a friend, they help to ease bruising and owies…they really do). Unfortunately, this time it didn’t work so well and his face remained red for the rest of the day. Today it’s not as noticeable.

Zoe thought she’d get a “slide” burn and take off some skin on her knee and here’s the aftermath. I didn’t put witch hazel on this because I didn’t want her to scream from it burning. She came up to me after she had calmed down a bit and said, “I think I need to take a minute off the playground.” And that she did, then she ran off and played. She only limped half of the day and just screamed as she took a shower at bedtime.

No owies here, just a cutie with chocolate milk down his shirt. He had to get a picture since I was taking a picture of the other two.

JB was just laying beside me so cute…still no owies on this one, although he’s done several flips into the dry bathtub and a couple down our two stairs…no big bruises yet!

Zoe’s finished with soccer…I believe for good. Did she have fun? Yes. But by Thursday she’d had enough of all that running. By today she was in tears ready to be done. Yep, the princess is not going to be playing soccer. We’ve talked with her and she wants to either do ballet next year or a theater ensemble group (which would be for one semester). Of course, we’re not surprised. She was pretty good and when she wanted to she could really go after the ball…but most of the time she didn’t want to. She would have rather just visited with the friends she had made (and of course she made many).

Parents versus kids! Tied 2-2.

Any guesses as to who really enjoyed soccer camp??

Yes, yes, soccer camp has finally arrived. I actually made it to the field on time. Zoe picked out her pink on pink on pink outfit for today! I even got her hair french braided on both sides. And it stayed! I don’t know hardly anything about soccer, but isn’t she cute???

She seemed to enjoy it. She quickly warmed up to the female coach and followed her everywhere. And since she’s a social butterfly, she’s met a few girls who are also at camp and seemed to not really care when we headed out to run some errands. I wanted to exercise but Ace looks as if he’s getting a cold, so I’m waiting until maybe tomorrow or so.

After camp, we headed to the pool…and I forgot the towels…oh well…the car seats are all washed down with chlorine now!
