Summing up of September

Here are the last few pictures from our September…

Two year olds get to pick their own footwear sometimes …

I’ve been trying to make a point of taking more pictures of myself with friends.  At a bridal shower in September, I made a point to get a picture with my friend Ruth.  She is approaching 90 and I admire her stamina and no nonsense attitude.  She will say it like it is and she likes me.  Although, she did tell me once at church that I’d lost too much weight and she liked her people with more meat on them.  Ha!  No worries about that with me, Ruth!

The end of August brought Kevin a new job finally as a manager.  That brought us new insurance and that brought us the chance to go to the dentist again.  We all passed with flying colors.  Rusty was kind of bummed when it was his turn to go back to the chair because he was having a groovy time in the toy area!

Bobby informed me that he was finished with his meal one day.  This is what I found his plate looking like …

The upside down cup was suspicious.  I picked it up and found … his cupcake!  I told you he doesn’t really like desserts!   What kid hides his dessert?  Broccoli, yes!  Stinky fish, sure!  But a cupcake?  Really?

Sometimes there is no room for my feet under my desk.  Not because of the totes of pending projects but because of the furry creatures that like to sleep there!

Sigh.  The cuteness.

Bobby is a couch potato.  He loves to watch TV.  Not just any TV, he’s picky and he lets you know that he is not statisfied with the choice of show if it is not one of his shows.  He likes, surprise, Thomas the Tank Engine, but also Curious George, Paw Patrol,  and Team Umizoomi.  Cars and Cars 2 are another of his favorites.  This is his TV position …

Tommy created a puppet show for me, complete with backdrop!

I became a great aunt again on September 21.  Sonny Timothy MacBeth was born on September 22 and was 8.6 pounds.  Notice the oddity in the dates?  That’s not a typo.  My niece Melissa lives in Australia and I got the message the night of September 21 that her baby boy was born on September 22.  It was very strange.  But he is VERY cute!  Wish I could snuggle that little butterball!

For Kevin’s birthday, we tried a new restaurant.  It specializes in sushi.  I’ve generally been opposed to sushi – for no other reason than that it is sushi.  But I’m lightening up in my old age.  MY old age?  Kevin’s the one who had the birthday!

I caught him like this once during our date.  I did mock him.

With the boys, we had a scrumptious brownie in a skillet for Kevin’s birthday.  Put a little ice cream on top while it is still hot and eat it right out of the pan … yum yum yum!

The boys all drew their dad pictures or wrote him letters.  Lots of love coming Poppy’s way!

Bobby enjoys our cats.  They are just a given in his life.  And why shouldn’t he try to clean out Hunter’s ears with a q-tip?

Tommy got to be the “Hero” in his class in September.  He was the very first one.  I recalled him coming home one day with a crown on his head but I was probably preoccupied and didn’t really pay attention to it.  That is until the following week when Tommy told me that the hero of that week hadn’t had a crown to wear because Tommy hadn’t taken his back.  WHAT?  I felt like a total mom failure!  I made the boys dig around all the toy boxes until they found it – smooshed of course – and the guilt increased.  I love Tommy’s teacher and I felt awful that any child didn’t get a crown to wear, so I made felt crowns for the whole class that weekend.  They were easy and now no one has to ever go without because someone’s momma wasn’t on the ball enough to say, “Hey!  Should you have brought that crown home?”

Backyard baseball at its finest.  Bobby didn’t have a clue what was going on, but he wasn’t going to be left out of it!

And that was our September!

There you go.
