Another Flag Day Older

Yes, yesterday was Flag Day.

Kyle texted me this picture to celebrate.

Of course it also included something about a birthday too. 

And then we celebrated Flag Day last night with the kids that are home. 

Fashion Fabulous Friday

As the kids have gotten older the fashions have gotten less and less fabulous.

But I've had these 2 pictures on my phone for awhile just screaming to bring back the fabulousness.

Like an Only

Reed and I have been doing lots of hanging out this week.

Kyle is at MawMaw and PawPaw's and JR is at an all day theater camp.

Reed is perfectly happy to just entertain himself at home, though he did request sushi for lunch the other day.

And I especially love that taking it easy is always on the agenda. 

I Could Still Use a Good Nap

Kelly and Caroline came down from Dallas this weekend.

We mainly just sat around my kitchen table and talked (until the wee hours of the morning, which is why I still need a nap) but we also found time to:

Relive our youth at 90's adult skate night.

(Shelley and Kelly)

Go get "beat up" by the Chinese foot massage ladies.  (My back is still sore).

And have some fancy meals.

As Kelly put it, we had as much fun as if we'd gone to a destination.

Yay for long time fun friendships!

All Star

Reed was selected for the All Star team and the game was last night.

They asked JR to commentate, but he wound up doing his DJ gig too.

The rain here has been ridiculous, so they decided to just delay the game an hour while they tried to clear the fields as much as possible.  So JR jumped into DJ mode and played music and interviewed kids for an hour.

Here he is interviewing.  Notice Kyle is very busy with his Chic Fil A the whole entire time.

JR also announced the players as they ran onto the field.  I was standing back by JR (to help him) so there was no way I could get up to see Reed run on fast enough.

Here's his All Star team

Reed is friends with all the Red Socks from school and then the 2 kids in purple were on Kyle's basketball team, so we knew all but 3 kids on the team! 

Reed hit 3 for 3, made an out while playing 2nd base, and they won the game 16-12.

So it was a super fun night, even though it looked like this!

D.O.N.E.

 We finally finished the marathon of the last days of school.

Even Reed, who loves school, was glad it was finished.

It was crazy hair day and Kyle begged to do it.

I told him no.

Then he begged some more and I flat out told him I had "no more participation left in me".

I think all the other parents felt the same way because there were about 5 kids in the whole 2nd grade that had crazy hair.

Kyle's not even in this picture, and I didn't bother to take one of him with his friends...because I'm done. 

I'm not sure why JR's arms look a million miles long. 

Modeling Part 2

Looks like Kyle has won the title for Camp Olympia model of the year.

Though even less exciting than brochure cover or newsletter, JR did spot him on their Instagram page.
