Saturday was the first Ohio State game vs Navy. So we all got dressed up in our scarlet and gray to get in the spirit.
Our little buckeyes. Sophie is having a tomboy day completely dressed in her brother's old clothes. :)
The game was during Will's nap time, so Sophie got to be the one to hang with dad while he watched the game. Look at her expression - she's like "I don't know dad, they look like they're holding back. It just doesn't seem like they're playing to potential today."
After Will's nap, we took the kids to Maumee Bay to walk the boardwalk and check out the nature center and beach.
At the nature center, Will checks out a red fox:
Snakes:
Some turtles:
A walk on the boardwalk:
And the beach:
Will likes it when the waves touch his toes:
Back at home, Will's checking out a caterpillar on the ground. I've really been making a point to show him lots of things outside and talk to him about nature. He's a true BOY and loves the little critters. We look for spiders in their webs in the early morning and at dusk, we checked out the locust shells stuck to the trees, picked up some buckeyes from the tree out front. We also got to see some really cool-looking spider webs one morning on the way out the door. There were a ton of them between the deck spindles and they were glistening and covered in dew. It was really cool to see and I wish I had taken a picture then. We've talked about fog and rain and noticed the first leaves changing colors across the street. I like making time to show him these things because he gets so fascinated by it all and it's a good learning experience.
Over the weekend, Craig purchased a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee... yes, we are dorks with matching his-and-hers vehicles now. :) He sold his truck the week before and cut his monthly payment in half. He found the Jeep on e-bay from a guy in Myrtle Beach, SC but it was going to cost him $850 to ship it. So instead he bought an $85 one-way flight to Myrtle Beach and drove the Jeep 900 miles home... all in one day. Wes drove him to the airport at 6 a.m. on Sunday and Craig made it home at 2:30 a.m. on Monday.
As a thank you for the ride, I invited Wes and Casey and the girls over for breakfast when Wes returned from Detroit. We had a "pajama playdate" for the girls and Will got to play with his buddy "Dub" (Wes).
BFF's Sophia, Stella & Mya
Girl Talk
Wes was "hiding" upright in the tunnel and Will thought that was hilarious. So here they're playing peek-a-boo with Casey.
Now we're just grateful for a short week at work!
