Sherwood Forest 2013

-
We drove over to Sherwood Forest Faire yesterday after swim lesson. The boys wore their costumes and brought their bows. The weather was perfect, low seventies, low humidity and lots of sunshine. We had a wonderful time. The boys shot arrows, watched the dog show and caught most of the joust. We watched my friend Anne in her belly dancing show and then grabbed a glass of wine before watching a magic/fire eating show. Sam was chosen out of the audience to light a little cannon and fire a dollar bill at the magician. He loved it and felt very special. I got my hair braided (one of my favorite things to do) and Davis rode the sky chairs. We ended up at the Fool Hearty show and it was our favorite. Davis and Michael were chosen out of the audience and both enjoyed it very much. Davis shone on the stage and ate it up. The show is hilarious and very well done. We had a good time with our little family. We stopped at the Roadhouse in Bastrop for dinner and got home just in time for bed. Michael hasn't spent a day at home in a week and a half, so he was a good sport to spend the day out and about with us again.
Today we hope to do some house things, and may or may not make it out to church and a hike with the greenbelt alliance. Michael deserves a day at home and the kids are in their pajamas so we shall see.

New Roof

We have a new roof. Our tile roof was supposed to last a lifetime, but it was put on incorrectly and so we've been fighting leaks ever since we moved in. We had some bids offered on both a new tile roof or on several different types of metal. We chose a metal roof because I grew up with a metal roof and loved it and because it was less expensive than the tile. It took the crew seven working days to take off the tile and put up the new roof. They did a great job and we really love it. We were worried at first that it wouldn't be as beautiful, but we really do like it. Now I want to repaint the front door though.

New Directions/New Blog

-
The times, they are a'changing. I think it might be time to start something new. I have the idea that I want to start a new travel website/blog. I want it to be fancy and pretty. It will be a place to focus all my travel obsession/passion. I will blog our trips there and talk about travel with children. I will post when I find places that I want to travel to and I will post when I find great travel deals. I will talk about the points game too. I want to talk about Generational Travel. I want to talk about traveling with small children, but I also want to talk about how it is to travel with my dad and my grandparents. I haven't been able to find any websites out there that talk about travel with alzheimers and I think it would be helpful to some people. Katie already told me she'd help with my social media. (sure, with all her spare time. ;)) This blog has been my journal for seven years. I have loved keeping a record of my family here. Each year, when I rec...

Love for My Boys

First, Sam. Sam is in such a sweet stage right now. Gentle, giving, fun, sweet, easy. He loves to cuddle and share. He's talking a ton now and growing so fast. He's learning to ride a bike and yesterday and twice today, he pooped in the potty! He's only 21 months!!! He's working on his two year old molars and has been carrying around an old metal rattle to chew on. This morning he accidentally whacked Davis on the head with it. Davis cried and I pulled him in my lap. Sam ran over and crawled up next to us on the couch. "What happened?", he asked, deeply concerned. I explained that he had hurt his brother. Sammy said, "So Sorry, Dadis. Hug.", and gave him a big hug. Then he said to Davis, "I loves you.". I've never heard him say he loved anything or anyone and I was so touched to hear him say it to his brother. He would follow Davis anywhere and does. He leaps from the couch after Davis and tromps through the grass. He ex...
