Just Journaling...

Hewson is so funny...he gets to play T-ball this year with his cousin Kyler so we went to dad's work and bought him his first pair of cleats ever...he was really excited. Of course as soon as we got home he wanted to put them on and try them out in the back yard...he put his socks and cleats on, and had nothing else on except a pair of sweat shorts....he checked the cleats out on his feet for a few seconds then put his hands in his pockets then asked me "Mom, how do I look?" I told him he looked great and that he looked like the best T-ball player I had ever seen...he loved that one...grinning he happily said "Yeah, cause I am." I have heard stories of how it goes in T-ball games and during practice, but it was the funniest thing to see for the first time!! Hewson quickly began bossing people around, telling them to get the ball, go hit, etc. (I have NO idea where he got that from...) He took it pretty seriously and didn't understand why Kyler wasn't too interested...but they all had a blast and it was so much fun to see all those boys run around, bumping into each other...I have a couple pictures...I will have to post them later.

My wonderful boy...

Hewson is always the first to wake up in the morning, and always ready for breakfast as soon as he opens his eyes....mom, not so much ready....so he will snack on some dry cereal for a bit until his brother wakes up. Well, this morning was the same routine and as we went to get Tillman out of the crib together (that is the signal to Hewson that the day has officially started) he said out of no where "Mom, today is the perfect day!" That was such a great reminder after a long week of working and cleaning that yes, today is the perfect day....every day is perfect.

Fun!!

As I have blogged before, as a mother I feel like I have really great ideas for my kids but never actually DO them...well, in fully realizing this I have decided to make a goal to become what I like to call a "more creative mother." So this simple project that I did for my kids makes me very proud of myself!! I mixed and made up a whole batch of home made playdough!! I know many of you who read this will think, uh, yeah, I do that all the time...well, this was my first time actually DOING it, and I have to say, it was easy AND fun. I made four colors for the boys and it quickly went from just playdough to practically every kitchen item I own...it has to be so fun using mom's "real" stuff! It kept them happy for quite some time and Matt actually told me today that they set up a "hotdog stand" here in the playroom and were yelling "GET YOUR HOTDOG!" I don't know where they got that from, but I'm sure it was really cute...Ahhh...it's so nice when I have HAPPY boys!

**Yes, Tillman is actually smiling--what a cootie patootie!!**
