Cow Appreciation Day


Two posts in one day?! I know. Just wanted to share my pictures from cow appreciation day. I’m always really bad about getting pictures of our family when we all dress up. So these are the best I have. I did a little photoshoot with Evangeline for the contest on Chick-fil-a’s website. Not likely that she’ll win but it was fun anyway. I tried the chargrilled chicken club or something. It had bacon and cheese on it. Not impressed. I’m trying really hard to enjoy grilled chicken. I think the wrap was better when I tried that. Oh well! At least it was free!

I was asked if the boys were triplets tonight. That’s a first. People are always asking if Liam and Kai are twins but I’ve never been asked about triplets. To be fair, Kingston’s back was turned to her and he was standing on the chair. The boys were sitting. And she was a sweet old lady so I didn’t make fun of her for the mistake 🙂

It was hard to choose which picture to use for the contest. I narrowed it down to 14 but I ended up using the one below. (I started with a couple hundred! Yikes!)

The beloved blankies


Liam will be 5 in just over a month. We started some kindergarten work with him this past week. I guess he’s done kindergarten work since he turned 4, because that’s when I started to teach him to read. He is a great reader now and is doing super well with kindergarten math! We just really need to work on that kid’s handwriting. Just over the few days we’ve been doing the math workbook, I’ve seen his numbers improve. I have a fast learner who loves to learn. I mean, that kid loves.to.learn! I have to actually force him to stop and take breaks.

Why am I saying all this? Because this grown up kid, the kindergartner, the one who is about to turn 5? Yeah, him. He still loves his blankie. The one he has had since he was a baby. We’ve had moments of frantically searching for that thing right before bedtime. There used to be days he would refuse to sleep without it. But now, there are random nights he forgets it. And he doesn’t carry it with him everywhere. Our days with this blankie are coming to a close. However, Kai is still pretty obsessed with his blankie and Kingston is in the beginning stages of loving his. His love of the blankie is coming later in life. He wants one because his brothers have one. He wants to fit in, I suppose. So while I’ll miss these blankie days, I know there are more good things to come!
