Today

I don't know what it is about this picture,
taken VERY haphazardly as we headed out this morning,
but I LOVE it.

Now that I'm weighing in at Weight Watchers on Mondays
instead of Saturdays, the boys and I have a new routine.
We go to the gym (where I weigh) first thing and then straight
to the Pressley Group to take advantage of Donut Mondays.
Don(u)t judge me.

After Donut Monday, we went to Nan & Pop's house.
Nan & Pop were cleaning up their yard, and Freddie just
started pitching in, picking up sticks. Then, of course,
Jones got in on the action which ended up being a doubly
awesome activity - giving the boys the thrill of playing
with sticks, while teaching them the importance
of helping out with household projects.
Win-win.

Every time we walk down the stairs
into the basement / garage,
Jones looks through the open stairwell
and says, "What a messy mess!"
Today, he said it when he saw this pile
on the floor at the foot of the stairs.
When he's right, he's right.

(Also, whenever he's given the choice,
Jones ALWAYS chooses to wear his
summer "play shoes," and it's just
not a battle that's worth fighting.
Thus - sandals, when it's 50 degrees
outside, with socks.)
