GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLL!!!!!

Harrison had been looking forward to this day for weeks - his first soccer game. You can see even while they were warming up he was so excited.


He's got his game face on!


He scored his first goal! I am so glad that Granddad was there to capture the action because I was so busy cheering him on I didn't get any pictures of this part. So proud of him!

Celebrating with his teammate.

Cardboard Box Fun

We all know how kids love cardboard boxes. So when I ordered some new counter stools I knew I had to save the boxes for something fun. Harrison and I got on Pinterest for inspiration and he decided on a rocket ship and a boat. I was all out of mailing tape, so I had to use duct tape and painting tape. Whatever works!

No training wheels!

Harrison decided it was time to ride his bike without training wheels. This was brought on by the fact that his two buds in our neighborhood took off their training wheels. I tried to put him off because Justin wasn't home yet, and told him I didn't know how to remove the training wheels. So he proceeded to go into Justin's tool box, find the right wrench and take them off himself.
The second one was a little tough so he enlisted Matthew for some help.
I could tell he was nervous, but he was bound and determined to do it! A perfect example of when his strong will is actually a good thing.
I was so proud of him and it was awesome to see how proud he was of himself.

Colored Rice

I had been wanting to try this for awhile and we had a play date scheduled so I thought it would be the perfect opportunity. I bought a 10 lb bag of rice, some food coloring and hand sanitizer and got to work. It didn't turn out quite as bright as the tutorial, but I used less liquid because I was worried about it drying quickly. The kids loved it and so did their friends! Harrison's friend thought it was awesome and asked him where it came from. I overheard Harrison telling him "My mom made it, she got the idea on Pinterest." How funny is that?!

Bath time

Harrison and Landry rarely get to take a bath together because Landry goes to bed so early, so they were enjoying some fun in the bath tub. The photo was even cuter when you could see them kicking their feet and splashing, but I didn't think I needed to post the full view on the internet. :)

Checking email

Snow!

We finally got enough snow in Tulsa to actually play in (although it still wasn't much). The kids were super excited! The snowman below was made by our neighbors but we joined in the picture.
