All in a Days Work

I don't know what it is with this time of the year but it seems like we are hopping from one kids activity to another. This Saturday was no exception as we had our 1st swim meet of the year and Brittany's piano recital.

Here are the 1st place 6 and under girls relay team getting ready for action.

Here is Allison edging out the competition on the breaststroke with an All-star's time!

Brittany on the last leg of her 50 yd breaststroke. Gotta love those 50's!

Caitlyn showing off her backstroking skills!

When then hopped out of the pool, made ourselves look beautiful and headed over for Brittany's piano recital.

Here she is playing Stars and Stripes Forever.

Some Like it HOT!

Today was Benfer's annual field day. It was Brittany's last year and Caitlyn's first year of field day. Although, I still miss the way we did field day in my day - three-legged races, potato sack races - you get the idea. I must say a good day was had by all. Even Brandon was a near perfect Angel. Here are some of the pictures from this hot, fun day!

What's field day without a little tug-o-war!

According to the kids, the best part of field day is the water!!A few push-ups to get us ready for the rope climb.

Even Garrett took part in the rope climb.Gotta love the obstacle course.

Of course, one of the best things about field day are the friends.

Boy, field day can be so exhausting!

Where, Oh Where Did My Baby Go?

I learned after Garrett got his 1st hair cut that boys just don't look like babies anymore once their hair is cut. I just wasn't quite ready to face this with Brandon so I have been putting off getting his hair cut because, well because, Mommy just didn't want to.

I was starting to get a lot of questions on when I was going to cut Brandon's hair and comments about how he needed a hair cut so I decided it was time Mommy got over it and took him in.

I was a little nervous on how Brandon would do. He can be known to throw quite the fit and really doesn't like other people touching him so I wasn't sure how it would go down. Well, let me tell you -- he was almost perfect. It is amazing what the bribe of a lollipop will do. He only fussed at the very end when they were using the clippers in even out the back. He sat on mommy's lap like a champ. I wish I had some pictures of the actual hair cut but he was on top of me so they didn't turn out.

But here he is with his new nickname "Mr. Handsome Man".

Enjoying the last of the lollipop in the car on the way home.

Sitting on the kitchen cabinet while I finish dinner.Gotta have my milk fix before I go to bed. (Yes, it is pink cup - I lose all of the new boy sippy cups but manage to always find the girl one's left from Caitlyn)The day is done, Momma, gotta take my new "do" and hit the sheets.
