We completed another Dr. Seuss Spirit Week at school and the kids had a blast! Adley is finally big enough to participate in events because she WANTS to, not because we force her to do so. Day #1 was matching/twins day and I originally had Hudson matched up with his buddies. Since we are in full swing with indoor soccer, they were going to wear their yellow jerseys. But then Hudson realized Adley didn't have a twin and felt bad for his baby sis. He convinced his buddy to wear their purple jerseys from last year for two reasons - so Adley could match them and because purple is her favorite color. How adorable is that?!?! And thankfully, the entire crew of cousins and friends were on a purple team last year, so I could snag a jersey for my princess. And she was stoked!
My kids have a squad now, all thanks to a bunch of us mamas getting together on the weekends (both with and without children). There were eight little Things running around daycare one day. I waited till last minute and Hudson didn't have a red shirt, so yes, he is wearing a polo sweater with a Thing 6 pressed on it.
Below looks like a Wacky Wednesday due to a slight homelessness hue about them, but it was actually Hat Day. Adley has cheese in her mouth if you're wondering what that is.
And I just thought these pics were precious of two little cousins who love each other. They stayed the night at Lolly's last weekend and Lolly had given them matching pjs - shirt, pants and coordinating basketball shorts to go on top. I pray that their friendship and bond lasts forever.
Hudson continues to love soccer. He scored 6 goals at his game today! And they were legit goals, not like the ones that just roll into the net on accident. He also got a haircut, which he adores. He kept saying "make it shorter, make it shorter!" When it was long, he would have to style it, so now he can be gel-free for few weeks.
I took the kids to Steak n Shake for what I conceive to be their first time ever; the only other time would be if Lolly took them. But by their excitement, I want to say it was the first. There were paper hats! There were large cups of milk! There was a hot dog cut in half with "skinny fries"...you would have thought they had never experienced a public restaurant before. And of course we ended with a bang = a milkshake! Adley kept getting a brain freeze and didn't know how to make it stop. I obviously declined to tell her not to eat the ice cream so fast. I was having too much fun watching her attempt to overcome a frozen skull.
After lunch, we headed to the park. Adley got another pair of glasses-with-lashes. She thinks she is hot stuff!
And the below pics might be my most favorite pictures of Hudson to date. The story starts when I was unpacking a bag of "donations" from cousin Claire last week. It was all girl stuff for Adley, but amidst the pink and glitter clothes, there was a lonely pair of boy boxer briefs. Not really thinking that it may have been an accident, I quickly showed Hudson his new underwear. Now he could be a big kid like Anderson! Oh how did this child immediately strip down, minus the socks of course, and strut around in his new britches. He would strike a pose, spin (don't call it a "twirl," only girls twirl) and even blow ya a kiss I could not stop laughing. Only later that evening did I find out that those undies weren't supposed to be a hand-me-down. But I quickly informed Shannon that Anderson will NOT be getting this pair back. No way my kid is giving those tighty whities back!
Chris is working in Indianapolis all next week, so I'm thinking about taking the kids up on the weekend to visit the Children's Museum. And then we have Spring Break approaching, where we'll be headed to Pensacola to visit the Hoffmans, Alams, Kemps and our favorite DeeDee! Definitely ready for some sun and sand!
