Balls to the Wall

Everett and I just finished our latest session of All Sports class at our rec center. It’s nice to have a big place to run around during the rainy season as Everett learns the basics of football, basketball, soccer, t-ball, and hockey.

Everett is about to find out this is called traveling.

He did a really good job keeping his stick on the ground.

It’s nice to be recognized.

Couch Slouch

There must be something instinctive about the video-game-playing couch slouch.  Below, Everett demonstrates his technique while playing “the car game” on my iPhone.

A Room of His Own

For too long, Everett’s room wasn’t entirely Everett’s room.  Sure, it’s where he slept, but it was really the room where we kept the baby stuff like extra blankets, his out-of-season coats, and all the other things that accumulate when you’ve got a tyke.

Our New Year’s Resolution this year was that Everett would finally have a room that was his own.  A couple of weeks ago we finally fulfilled that resolution.

Dog Day Crafternoon

Everett and I are always looking for new activities to keep us busy on rainy days. Recently we went to Michaels together and picked out enough crafty items to last us quite a while.

Everett has really enjoyed painting doggy magnets (seen above), gluing foam letters onto construction paper, and using new cookie cutters on his play-doh. Other activities we will be doing soon are: painting wooden birdhouses, decorating a treasure box, gluing pom-pom balls somewhere and anything else we can think up using paint, doo-dads and glue. No glitter, though.

The Neighborhood Has Really Gone Downhill

I was browsing around on Zillow the other day, seeing what a few nearby homes had sold for, when I noticed the listing it had of our neighborhood schools.

That’s right Everett, you’ll be attending the Clark County Detention Center for those formative high school years! I wonder what their mascot is.

Sending Emails

Sometimes we’ll leave the laptop out unattended in the living room for a few minutes, and this is the scene we invariably come back to:

What are you doing?” we’ll ask.
Sending eeeeeeemails.“  He always drags out the e like that.
To who?
To Everett!
