My mom had five children. The first 3 were boys. So far, I have 3 boys. This takes my mom down memory lane a lot and my boys get to recreate a lot of her moments. This week they got to try on sweaters that belonged to my brothers.
My dad bought this outfit for my third brother to wear home from the hospital after he was born. It fits Rusty perfectly and he is 5 1/2 months old. I can only imagine how big it was on my brother.
My mom made these sweaters. I know the red one was made for Tim, but I don’t remember about the white one. Billy wasn’t fully recovered yet and not overly cooperative!
A couple of times a year, I like to take a trip to Logan. We hit the cheese factory and a few other stops. This year we added the Willow Park Zoo to our list. Aunt Suzy and Grandmama came along as well. It is a small, inexpensive zoo, but perfectly cute. They had monkeys and bald eagles and even bobcats (the big cats are always my favorite). There were lots of turtles and birds, birds, and more birds.
But the boys favorite part of the zoo was feeding the ducks. We could have spent all day doing that.
There is just something better about the A&W restaurant in Logan and that is where we got lunch. The boys got a kids meal and one of their prizes was a wind sock. As soon as I told them the name, out came the foot, on went the “sock.”
My friend Shanae invited us over for a game of Sponge Ball last week. The rules are simple: buckets of water, enough sponge balls to go around, and everyone fends for themselves! It was when the hose came out that things got really fun! Shanae has no mercy and it is all good because neither do any of the boys! Here are some pictures of our fun with her and her boys. Rusty was the free zone – no water around him! So I was safe while taking these pictures.
