Playing Catch Up

Its been hard keeping up with these kids lately, well not keep up but blogging about it all has been too much for me lately what can I say I've been lazy.  We've been keeping it real, playing outside everyday, loosing teeth, devouring way too many baked goods, and playing outside some more.  And since pictures make every post about a million times better here's what we did this weekend.

Caroline's dreams came true!  Seriously those were her exact words.  She lost a tooth at school and got an awesome tooth necklace to bring it home in which is exactly what happens to Nancy in a Fancy Nancy book.  She was beyond thrilled.

We went strawberry picking, yum!  Sometimes I forget how amazing food is picked fresh, these little babies are VERY addictive.  We picked a little over 4 lbs and on Friday and they are already gone! Before we left that morning I told Devin we were going to pick strawberries and he said, "No I don't want to go to the grocery store!" (we may go there too much) He had a hard time understanding what picking fruit means.

I tried getting a picture of the boys together but whenever they get too close to each other these days it seems like all they want to do is wrestle or annoy each other.  Its been a great lesson in patience!  I also lost our camera case there but other than my inability to keep things together we had a great time! 

Saturday was filled with soccer, heat, and more soccer.  Devin did great at his first game back from vacation.  He has learned how to pass the ball to his teammates!  If you have ever watch little kids play soccer this is actually pretty impressive.  Caroline's team barely even does it.  He's a soccer star and even got run down lost his glasses but got back up without any tears!  Soccer is so good for him.

After running around at the park for an hour Caroline still had enough energy to play her best at soccer.      It was hot but still gave it her all.  She's the tall one to the left.

And finally Caroline had her end of school picnic at the park. Here she is with her teacher that has helped her become such a great reader, Mrs. Roberts.  I can't believe she only has 19 days of school left!  Man this year went by fast.  I can't wait for field day this week! Its going to be awesome.  I promise I'll be better about posting.

And we also had a true sign of a great time this weekend, rednecks.  Well maybe more a sign of a negligent mother.  Note to self next time bring sunscreen!
