I'll start with bedtime. This is usually what happens when I send the kids to bed. We tell them that they can do what they want, as long as it is in their room. They fall asleep when they're tired. But this is what happens first: imagination. Tonight it was a race into outer space. They were shooting down aliens and everything! At least they were prepared with protective gear.
Grace wanted to try on the helmet, too. (Backwards, of course.)
In the end, they tied, and shared the trophy.
Now on to camps. We have 5 camps in the first 3 weeks of summer. But I'm the log head who signed them all up. I didn't want them to be bored for the summer, now. But I'm feeling a little over-scheduled, mostly because I have to accompany Andrew to Cub Scout camp for two days, and I'm a cook at Girl's Camp for 5 days. I'm having a little anxiety about leaving my babies for so long. Although I know the anticipation of leaving them is worse than actually doing it. It'll probably be good for me. Let's hope.
One of Andrew's camps is the First Tee program. That actually goes for several months. He's really excited about it - almost as excited as Grandpa Fred. Grandpa has already bought him his first set of golf clubs, taught him some drills, and taken him golfing. Andrew is ecstatic to have Grandpa as his mentor, as am I because I have no idea how to coach him along. Here he is waiting at the front window for Grandpa to pick him up for a few holes.
The proud new owner of his own set of golf clubs. It's pretty exciting in this house just to have something that's your own.
We've also been shuttling kids to basketball camp. Here's Andrew during a scrimmage. He really loves basketball. This is his second camp this year at the college.
I'll try to be better at posting more frequently. Ben and I are working really hard on a project that I'll tell you all more about soon, and it's taking a lot of my time. But I really want to document everything in my kids' lives, because I am already in mourning at the thought of them growing up. I know someday soon the little toys will be gone, their toothbrushes will be normal instead of having a spider man clinging to the side, there will be no more little shoes clogging up the front entrance... I miss it already!
