The Shonnon Games!

My friend Shannon is a nanny...and she is an EPIC Nanny at that...Every summer her nieces and nephew come stay with her for the summer so they don't have to stay cooped up inside in Indiana while their parents are at work. As a final good-bye party for the kids the past few summers, she has hosted what has come to be known as  THE SHONNON GAMES...She invites all the kids she typically does play dates with throughout the year for one crazy messy party...Here's a little bit of the action.

The Enchanted Owl!

Well, our Little Free Library is 1 year old this week! We had a party to celebrate and disclose our new name! We are now The Enchanted Owl - Little Free Library #15014! We had about 40 people at the party on one HOT and STICKY day! So much fun! Even people from the community I had never met before. Totally had my geeking out face on all day! Thanks everyone who came and made it awesome!

Soccer

Sorry...no one should have to look at Tater Tots for over a week...how about some soccer tots instead:) I am happy to report that Rowan actually seems to be paying attention at soccer this year and kinda gets the point...last year, tag was more of his "soccer" style. This year, drills so far are going great! He's on a team with Brynnie and one of his PreK buddies, Q. And at least one teammate from last year, who happens to be the coaches kid. Might be a fun year!

 Toe taps seem to be a favorite?

 Concentration?

 This pic ALMOST looks like he's a soccer star...until you notice the ball is BEHIND his foot ;)

Skinny legs ;) And in front of him, his buddy Q.

Another PSA...

As part of the Influenster VoxBox that I received a while back, I got a bunch of free stuff to try out and review. One of the items was from Ore-Ida and it took me a little bit because I had a coupon to turn in when I went shopping for a "free bag" of tater tots or easy fries. The verdict is in. We had them for dinner the other night and the kids loved them! And of course Josh...my tater-tot-loving hubby also approved!
