I Get Crank Sometimes

Lately life has been running in the fast lane.  I can't say that my attitude has always been the best here lately.  I get tired.  I get cranky.  I feel a strong need to be at home sometimes.  That happens very rarely.  We've had the little two playing soccer, both boys playing travel ball, Ford playing peewee football, and other various activities thrown in as well.

Several weekends ago Ford played a big tournament in Oxford.


He even got to be the closing pitcher for the game.



BoomPa and Patty came to see us for the first time in 4 months.  We had been missing those two.

Ford's team came in second place in the tournament and got a pink ring.

Don't think that Sister didn't cash in on a ring.




Thankfully, a mom likes to take pictures at the games and I snagged some of these from her.

Bitty finally sold Uncle T.A. his barn painting from February 2018.

Trey was named as a Top 50 Influential Leader...

We had a butterfly habitat in my classroom this year.  Two of the three caterpillars made it.  They were so pretty.

Peewee football ended on Thursday.  I snagged these from another mom too!

Annie gets treats from school occasionally.  She tends to pick boy toys.  These are finger wrestlers.

The Many Happenings in September

When I was a youth I legitimately went to school and came home.  I didn't have 75 after school activities like kids do today.  It's borderline ridiculous.  I am to blame though.  I allow it to happen.  Sister is involved in the least amount of activities.... she only has soccer, choir, and gymnastics.

One night I just couldn't do it.  I was done.  DONE!  I got in bed at 7:00 and sent Trey to soccer alone, with the kids.  Cousin Andi was there to help out!


The Dolphins

She takes goalie very seriously.
Bitty was picked to be Star Student.  He loved making this poster.

Uncle Ken makes him laugh!

I got a random delivery of some spoons from Amazon.  I didn't order them.  It was crazy.  I still can't figure this out.  I'd prefer that they send me cooler stuff than spoons though.

Superhero Day during Homecoming Week.  I failed miserably at taking pictures.
