My middle son was doing (supposedly) some yard work and he made a creation of his name in the sand using a rake, it was so cool, I asked him to do me one:
Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates.

Any litle diversion from yard work, right?? Always help when you include MOM :) Have a great weekend!

ReplyDeleteIt's those pieces of art you wish you could hand on the fridge forever. Thanks for sharing his creations with us!
ReplyDeleteAwwww!
ReplyDeleteAnd your lil man is handling his injury well. I pray for quick healing!

ReplyDeleteI hope your son feels better soon!
ReplyDeleteGlad you got a picture of the artwork.
ReplyDeleteI hope your son feels better although he doesn't look like he's suffering too much with that grin on his face!! :-)
Much love from NJ,

Ah... so sweet!
ReplyDeleteLove it. This is so neat. I'm thinking about doing fPhoto Friday this week so thought I'd check out some from last week.
ReplyDeleteI've done a book review on How Not To Look Old and will be giving away 5 copies. You might want to check it out.
