Sunday church best. Alex is wearing Ben’s purse for him. The minute Ben saw Kaitlyn’s purse he wanted one too. Kaitlyn was nice enough to get one for him that matched his outfit. He carried it all morning but didn’t want it for the picture.

This particular dinner place is a favorite because it has a grassy field next to the picnic tables. We always try to remember to bring a soccer ball to keep everybody entertained.

Ben convinced Kaitlyn to build his car wash, but then she didn’t want to share. Ages 7 and 4 are rough.

We bought a new lunch box in preparation for next year, but it has just made Kaitlyn want to pack her lunch most every day the last few days of the year.

Ben and I bought flowers for all of my pots today and I was determined to get everything potted before rain comes through tonight.

We bought this raincoat last fall when we realized Alex would be walking in sometimes unexpected rain storms. This is the first time he has agreed to worn it – most likely only to protect his headphones and Chromebook.

This doesn’t look comfortable, but Teague took quite a long nap just like this.

Kaitlyn came home with three love notes in her backpack today. I asked her about them and she got an embarrassed look on her face and said, “He says he’s going to marry me when he grows up.”

Ben has been staying strong to his mismatched shoe streak. Today was a rainy day and he branched out with a shoe and a boot.

Alex decided to take a page out of Ben’s book and go with the mis-matched pajama look. He tried to one-up him though and turned his pants inside out.

Alex has been consistently practicing lacrosse the last few weeks. He also now has a helmet that allows him to wear his glasses during games. He may turn into an entirely different player at some point.
