A Tebby Dare Welcome

I have two sons, A and Z. A used to refer to his teddy bears as Tebby Dares and I still think it's the cutest thing. I hope you enjoy reading about my boys and the things they do and say.

Daddy's Shoes

A few weeks ago, the boys found two pairs of Daddy's shoes. This resulted in at least an hour of fun shoe time.

A even got the right shoes on the right feet. Can you see how proud he is to be in Daddy's shoes? Mom's just glad he doesn't actually fit into them yet. Let's keep those cute little kid feet for now.












Happy A.


















Who knew laces were so interesting?

April showers

Ah, the hammering of rain on the rooftops in the morning. A sure sign that spring is here. Then, there's the hail, which isn't really a sign of anything except extreme weather. That was our morning this morning. The good news is that we put in the french drain a few weeks ago, and it worked like a charm, even in torrential rains. Woo hoo.

But, of course, the even more exciting thing about serious rain is ... PUDDLES! I took the kids in the backyard to explore our puddles this afternoon and I think they excavated at least one decent sized puddle. I was sitting and knitting (only the ribbing left to finish on my first pair of socks), and I could hear Z going "slosh, slosh, slosh, slosh, pause, slosh, slosh, slosh, slosh" back and forth through the puddle.

And here are the photos to prove it.








Wiping mud away with more mud.


















The water spots on the pavement are from the totally drenched clothes the kids were sloshing around in. Yuck!












There was a mini-puddle in one of Z's little boots. I guess they really are water tight.













Sun washed, white washed kids.
