The Pirates

Reading...its contagious.  This happened one Friday night after dinner when Jack (far right) brought out a book to read at his bonfire.  Soon after that, Riley (middle orange shirt) brought his book, followed by Liam and Luke.  The firewood is provided by our winter hockey rink, its the gift that keeps on giving all year round!

This is a series of pictures that Aiden took on the iPad the other day while I was in the shower.  He's sitting on the couch in his shorts (no shirt) because he just finished "washing dishes" with Finn and his clothes were soaking wet!

Its baseball season!  Luke and Liam received their jerseys this week.

Go Pirates!

It is baseball season for us.  Luke and Liam received their uniforms this week.   I haven't gotten a picture yet (since we have not worn them due to a rain cancellation), but Luke is #7 and Liam is #3.  They are playing for the black and gold Pirates in an 8 and under league.  Their main coach happens to be the husband of our favorite teacher at Montessori, Ms. Kristi.  She taught Luke and Liam in kindergarten and has been Aiden's preschool teacher for the last 3 years and will also be his kindergarten teacher next year.  Game #1 is this week barring any weather related issues.

Although baseball is keeping us busy two nights per week, spring hockey is over, thankfully.  It is actually a blessing that the baseball games are on the same days/times so that we only run around on two nights per week rather than four.  I am always thankful for a little rain here and there.  Its a nice break to have an evening with no planned activities.

All of the boys are counting down the days until summer when Liam has explained to all of us that we will have 90 days off.  We have several things planned with swimming lessons, more baseball, Bible school, beach vacation, Finn's 2nd birthday, and lots of fun at the pool and park with friends.  We are finished with school around the first week of June.
