Impromptu Soccer Game

We played an impromptu game of soccer this afternoon 

after Brandon "and Hinton" mowed the lawn.

On his way to make a goal!

Kason trying to convince us we should be playing basketball.

New Bed, Part 1

Pretending to sleep where their new beds will be.

And then it was time to do the chicken dance, of course.

Kason got to nap in his "new" bed.  But Hinton's new mattress has to "breathe" for 48 hours before he can sleep on it (which we did not realize beforehand), so he still has to wait a couple more days to try out his new bed.

Clownface

is what Brandon dubbed Kason's spaghettiness.

Tasty Play Doh

The boys played with Play Doh this afternoon.

It was the first time I let Kason play with it too.

I tried to tell him not to eat it . . .

Think he believes me now?

Nope, he's got to try again.

That good, huh?

No worries, it's non-toxic.  :-)

"Stuck!"

One of Kason's new words.  

He uses it accurately, and multiple times each day.

Gymnastics - Tour of Champions

Not kid related, but I got to watch the gymnastics Olympians 

perform at the Rose Garden last night.  Fun!

The Puzzler

Hinton has been doing 100-piece puzzles for awhile now, but did his first 150-piece puzzle all by himself this afternoon while Kason was napping.  (Which the box says is for ages 6+.)  This kid loves his puzzles!

First Day Of Preschool (Again)

Hinton started back to preschool this morning!
He was soooo excited to be going back.

He is showing off his Star Wars backpack.

Finding his cubby.

Time for class!

Kason, Year One, Week Twenty-Two

Notice he is wearing a very small Woody (Toy Story) hat on his head.
