Saturday

Uncle Justin came by around 8:00am this morning to collect August so that they could make their way to an airplane show somewhere by the Tacoma Mall. Imagine August, who has become accustom to sleeping in past 10:00am, having to wake up at 7:30am! It was not a pretty sight but he managed to pull it together by the time Justin arrived.
When the field trip was over August sat in front of the TV for about 30 minutes until I told them to shut it off. He seemed pretty quiet until we got into the car...then...he started talking...and talking...about all the airplanes he saw and how big they were and the helicopter he actually GOT IN!! And a fighter plane of some sort that he was able to move the target in...HOLY COW!
Thanks Uncle Justin...August had a great time.

After he talked through everything he could remember about the day, Hazel, in a small voice said, "Hey Mama? You know I like boy stuff too."

Hazel and I had a relaxing morning together. I told her that she could pick our brunch destination and she chose:As we walked toward the yummy goodness that is Mae's we passed our friends place...so sad that they are STILL on their FREAKING vacation...Hazel and I sang about how it was probably time for them to come home so that we can ring their bell and hang out with them...let's just move on.

Hazel drew this while we waited for our food:
We had a nice time together. After brunch we took a nice walk in the our old neighborhood and checked out all the cool new shops.

Happy Saturday!

My Own Little Cupcake

Trey spirited the kids away this morning saying that they were going to get bagels. I took the opportunity to pick up around the house and enjoy a nice quiet breakfast and then walk the dog. It was wonderful. As Tank and I were rounding the corner back to our house we noticed that everyone was back so we ran up the stairs to greet them. August had this very excited look on his face and Hazel was giddy on the couch...
Me:
"What did you guys do?"
Kids:
"What??? Nothing! We just went to Trophy and got cupcakes, that's all!"
Me (wide eyed):
"For real? Did you LOVE THEM Trey? Weren't they great?"
Trey:
"We haven't eaten them yet...we brought them all home to have with you."

All together now, AWWWWWW! What a good man.
