This afternoon I am sitting at my sisters house watching her kids while she is at an appointment. Just getting to sit here and enjoy the beautiful fall afternoon is some much needed time for me.
In the past several weeks we have really gotten into band season. They had their first competition this past Saturday. They did great! It is a really great show this year. It definitely pushes the OBHS Band to a whole new level. It is fun this year with the kids because they ares starting to really take notice of it. They are both really taking an interest in the football games too. JC LOVES football! Even right now he is tossing a football around here in my sister's yard. Drew has begun asking questions about the game and wanting to know more about what is going on. But, he main objective at the ballgames is food and socialization! This past week we had some friends from church come to the game. It was fun to have them to visit with during the game. Their son, Dominic, is Drew's good friend. So they had lots of fun together! Drew even ended up going home and spending the night with them.
Here is the band performing last Friday night.
A couple of weekends ago I decided to go through the boys clothes and get out long pants and long sleeves. We had started having some cooler mornings and it was not the best idea to wear shorts. JC would probably be fine with it but Drew is my thin blooded child! The process of going through clothes is always a lengthy one and a humbling one too. First of all we have been blessed to always have hand me downs for both our boys. Between my sister and a friend of her and friends from church we have been blessed over and over again with clothing. So the process of going through them takes a while because we have to determine what fits and what needs to go in the drawer. Then we have to pack up what is too small for JC to give to someone else and also pack up what is too small for Drew and put it in the attic for JC to use at a later date!
Well, I did not get to finish this post in Monday when I started it! Now it is Wednesday. So just know that if it seems as though I have jumped onto ne info that I have!
I have several good pics to put on here but a few things to share first. First, the title if the post, Change is in the Air. Well I decided this week to give up Facebook. It was for a variety of reasons. I felt like I spent too much time on there. Lots if times in the car I would be on FB on my phone, while Jim was driving of course! It was just a time filler rather than talking to him and the kids. Now, I do think that having relaxation activities like that is a good thing, but it was just taking too much time. I have gotten on Twitter now. Which to an extent that is somewhat the same thing, but it does not have all the crazy games and what not. In getting off FB I hope to find more time to update the blog and get my pics on here rather than FB. Anyway, it has been a few days already and I feel good about it.
Now for some pics!
Playing Wii together. JC does not really know how to play but . . .
he does everything he sees his big brother do!
Last night we got directory pictures made at church. This was my attempt at a picture of them before leaving. JC's expression is funny!
Drew had no problem hamming it up for me to take his pic!
JC on the other hand will stand still long enough for you to get him before he runs to see the picture on the camera, hence the extreme close up!
I love this pic! I took it last Friday night before we went to the ballgame. It was just JC and I home and we were playing a little football in the backyard. This boy loves to play ball! He loves the band too, but I think he has some sports in his blood too!
Lots more to come, I have a bunch of funny pics to share, aiming to get those on tomorrow.
