Teague

Cross Country Meet.

Half-days are made for playdates.

Teague has now added cream cheese to the grocery list three times. I’m not sure if he doesn’t realize it or he is annoyed that I haven’t been to the grocery in the last two days.

Sometimes Mom makes you eat fruit with your breakfast.

Another Cross Country meet today. Teague said this school had a true cross country course – through the woods and everything.

Sneaky nap struck again.

Bedtime routines.

Teague was in heaven this afternoon. His favorite cat, favorite blanket, a good book, and a snack.

Wade had a lot of outdoor projects this weekend and Teague was happy to help.

I was so impressed when Teague told me was going for a run this afternoon, without me prodding.

Teague’s first track meet!

Hug attack!

I was surprised when I got to the living room this morning at 6:15 am and found Teague already awake and reading on the couch.

Teague got new shoes today and instructions from his coach to run on his non-practice days. Here he is about to try out the shoes on his first solo run.

Teague and KitKat…

Granny and Pop sent Teague an assortment of headbands to use while running. He seems rather excited to try them out.

Teague officially made the cross country team!

Teague had his last cross country tryout today and it was a scorcher! He doused himself in ice water as soon as he got home. (He did make the team!)

Teague was bored and wanted to cook. He tried a new recipe for us – Coco bread.

Teague decided to start his long weekend with cookies.

Teague had cross country try-outs again today. He came home starving and ate a complete meal. This from my boy who gladly skips a meal if allowed.

Although a little reluctantly, Teague is trying out for cross country. Poor kiddo -it’s hot this week!

First day of 7th grade!

Tour the campus day, but at the middle school they are too old to meet their teachers before class starts. Alex was a great older brother and wanted to come and show Teague around. Teague was only interested in the vending machines and was quite disappointed to learn that they had been removed.

The boys were immediately enthralled with the books that Granny sent.

Teague got bonus points for helping to clean out the barn today.

Sneaky nap strikes again.

Teague and Ben spent the night making each other into burritos.

Summer has done a number on everyone’s rooms. We spent the day working on them. Teague’s books were shelved every way but neatly so he worked on them for me.

Teague informed me I had used up my allotment of pictures for the day.

Another day. Another batch of cookies.

I discovered on the trip to Milwaukee that my windshield wipers were basically worthless. Wade and Teague were nice enough to get me new ones today.
