The Cool Backpack

It is official...Luke, at barely first grade, is already into what is "cool". I can't blame him...the Quicksilver, etc backpacks are the coolest, best looking and most functional. I tried to pass off a great backpack from Costco at the wonderful price of $14.99 but he wasn't having it...at least I tried. His brother has a "cool" backpack, so it is not like I am shocked.

Stay tuned for our annual "First Day of School" photos!!!

Crazy Days of Summer

Whoever said they were the "Lazy Days of Summer"? No way...it is Crazy for us, for sure. Michael is coaching Jack's travel baseball team and Luke's AYSO soccer team...not to mention Jack is also playing soccer. I, of course, amd the de facto Team mom for the teams where dad is coach, and so goes the unpaid part time job.

We love it, though. We did not have kids to ignore them. We only have them for a short time and we are doing our best to cherish every second. Oh well if our dinner is the snack bar fare at the local sports park...Drew has lots of outdoor time and loves to play "hide and seek" while Jack does his infield practice.
