A Day in the Life

Today was a pretty normal day around here. Nothing terribly exciting happened and that can be a good thing. :) The most exciting part of our day was when I was sweeping the front porch and found this little guy. You can't see terribly well in the picture but he's a bettle, about the size of a golf ball with three horns on his head. I'm not quite sure what his name is but needless to say, the boys were intrigued.After the beetle discovery the boys got down to business. They got in the dirt and brought a little water outside to make mud - of course, what else would boys do? Then Little Man, Beans and the two boys next door made "the world's biggest sandcastle" but I think it was really the world's biggest mess. The neighbors brought out Otter Pops and Beans came running to me for help with his muddy hands in the air and the pop in his mouth asking for help to open it. Of course I had to snap his pic before I could help him. ;)

Here's all the kids, neighbors changed clothes but mine just washed their hands before the neighbors brought the pops out. The oldest neighbor is going into 6th grade in the fall, then Little Man is 9 1/2, the younger neighbor is going into 3rd grade, so about 8, and Beans - the goofball - is 8.
After any good mud play, Mom always requires a good shower. They stripped at the doorway and I ushered them into the tub. They came out nice and clean, if not thrilled with Mom taking pictures, AGAIN!
After bath it's time for tube care and meds. Blade doesn't always need a breathing treatment before bed but lately his airway issues have been acting up a bit so he's needed it the last few nights. He's not asleep here but busy playing his Nintendo DS waiting for his neb to get done.
And then, peace at last. I wish this was from tonight but Little Man's still awake so this one from last night will have to do. Sleeping soundly with his arm around his kitty. How precious is that?
