Some memories I want to always remember

Yesterday the boys had Field Day at their school. B (age 6) hugged on me during some of it which makes a moms heart grow. M (age 9) doesn't hug me in public anymore but I enjoyed watching him running around with the other boys in his class laughing. He is always smiling and happy and carefree. His brain is always working. He's constantly telling me stories he has made up.  I keep telling him he should write a book. He reminds me of me when I was his age. Always reading a book. (his Dad did when he was young too he says) He can read a book in a day or two just like I did at that age. I was always writing stories down. He likes to tell them but I keep telling him to write them down.  He has such a wonderful attitude. He loves to pick at his brother constantly but other then that he is such a happy, laid back, aims to please you child.

 B and his buddies in his class were wild. Running around exherting all kinds of energy. They can't hardly stand next to each other without touching one another wrestling , tickling, or hitting each other with their water bottles.  One of the dads was helping and he was showing the boys a magic trick B said. He was showing them how he could lose half his finger and then get it back. Oh my, the joys of being 6. I watched the dad with 5 boys crowded around him showing them the trick and the look on their faces trying to figure out how he did it was priceless.

B is such a sweet boy when I drop him off at school in the morning. He gets out of the car with his backpack and lunchbox and he blows me kisses all the way to the school. Keeps looking back at me as we keep blowing each other kisses. I will always treasure that.

After field day we went to the strawberry patch with some friends. We've picked strawberries together every year since the boys were really little. We've picked blueberries every year since before B was born. It was a beautiful May day. We sat on the picnic table afterwards and dug into them. Usually B says he doesnt like strawberries but he ate a bunch of them. Then the boys ate PBJ sandwiches I packed them on the way to B's baseball practice.  B's arm when he throws is amazing. He's playing shortstop and he dives to catch balls and then soars the ball to first base right in the glove. He loves baseball. We are certainly a baseball family as much time as we spend at the ballpark.

Today M got an award at school for Honor Roll for the whole year. We are so proud of those boys.

B is laying next to me asleep now as I type this. M fell asleep first so B came into my room to see if he could sleep in my bed. I  am not good at saying no so I usually let them and their Dad will put them in their bed when he goes to sleep. When they are having a hard time going to sleep it is easier for them to lay in my bed and in five minutes they usually are asleep. I love to look at their sweet faces when they are sleeping.
