Playdates

I am the worst about scheduling playdates for my kids.  They get invited over to friends houses all the time and I have the worst time reciprocating.  I don't know what my problem is.  Well today, I reciprocated just a little bit.  Maya had 2 friends from preschool over that had previously invited her over to play.  We had lunch and then the girls played outside because it was almost 70 degrees.  Hello January?  They planted a garden.  This means they pulled branches off a bush and then placed them in the gravel of the walkway.  I think the wind will soon carry away this garden.

Stock Show Field Trip

Every month, Maya's preschool class takes a field trip.  This month we got to go to the National Western Stock Show.  Being relatively new to Denver, we learned this is an annual rodeo/ranch animal show thing.  We got to pet animals and see a sheep sheared.  It was ..... crowded as all get out, filthy, stinky and ultra confusing to navigate.  We probably won't be making it a family tradition to attend.

Caleb LOVED petting animals.  And by petting I mean grabbing large tufts of fur.

When he contracts a strange disease in a week, this picture will tell me why.

My Husband's Addiction

My husband loves athletic shorts.  He has 9 pair.  I don't think he will ever think he has enough.  He claims that his reason for hoarding athletic shorts is that when he was a kid, these kind of shorts were expensive.  Now you can buy them at Walmart for 5 bucks.  Many of the pairs that you see were purchased in exactly that manner.  If you ever have an athletic shorts shortage, you know who to call.
