  there’s a little interview with me & my brain.

  speaking of random …. i was tagged in some 5 random things about me post ….
  

  i asked rex & he got on a roll : )

  part of me thinks every other night about posting again. part of me doesn’t. wanna know a secret? i’m almost addicted to playing ticket to ride on rex’s phone at night. so it’s late & i’m tired & i’ve got things done (or i don’t!) and instead of posting i crawl in bed & try to beat his top score : )

  its not on my phone, which is how i can get away with saying i’m not addicted – lol.

  so there you go – my nights to post have been replaced with a ridiculous game!

  here we are, it’s may!

  may will be full of swimming, baseball games, recitals, runs, graduations, birthday parties, school ending, vacation, seeing auntie amie.

  the kids are swimming almost every day now which has totally changed the look of our weeks, our afternoons, our evenings.

  no really?

  yeah, really : )

  
  a recent picture of the kids – since it’s been so long. it was the first one i came across – it’s a classic already.

  
  he scored in finding a leftover paper plate that had some brownie crumbs – add dirt & otter pop juice and you have a winner in the messiest kid contest.

  but wait! he hasn’t even had proper press time for his latest skill.

  

  he walks. it was exciting news around here. they were all on site reporters ‘chad’s walking!’

  
  i fall down –

  
  it wears a guy out –

  
  but someone is always picking me back up!

  
  it’s thoughtful of them, at least ….. 

  good bye, baby. hello boy.

  last night i was freaking out mentioning to rex how busy this weekend will be & he said it might be good to remember that exact moment when i think about adding something else to do & i was all but what about …….

  he really thought he was the only one in the conversation since there was no way i was even hearing myself talk : )

  

  the giants on are tv tonight …. rex says i have the biggest bleeding heart ’cause i called the boys out of bed so they could watch.

  right now they are asking 5 million questions a batter. they’re daddy, who’s been up since 4 am is doing a decent job of keeping up with them : )

  

  

  

  

  molly took a good 40 plus pictures of us the other day while we played catch.

  true story –
  once upon a time – last week – rex & i were talking in our room …. we do that most days after he gets home from work. jack was hanging around outside our window trying to listen in. rex told him to quit his not so subtle attempt at eavesdropping.

  for whatever reason jack took it pretty personally & told us he was going to leave. leave as in run away leave.

  we, from inside, smiled and told him to have a nice trip & be back before we left for baseball.

  a few minutes later ben showed up & asked if jacky really left, rex answered with ‘he said he was ….’

  well a good 20 minutes past & ben came out with jack’s monkey asking again if jack was coming back.
  based on ben’s concern rex said they could go look for him. by the time rex found shoes jack had come walking back, but benny …..
  benny was emotionally done over that possible fact that his brother had really run away & might not come back. 

  

  

  their reunion was beautiful. benny just cried tears of relief & jack found the heart to put his arms around him.

  and then there’s the girls, who thought it was hot enough for a slip ‘n slide.

   
  

  

  

  chad & i watched from the porch

  ‘i is a cowboy!’ she declared. ‘i need a horse …. and a strawberry!’

  - – -

  
  she wanted a picture because they were both orange hats. he ripped his off .3 seconds after this shot.

  and just in case you had any doubt that chad lives shirtless on the front porch ….. here’s more proof : )
