Just a couple of 2x4s!

 This kept my kids busy for a long time . . . 

 They did a great job working together on making their creation!

 Their favorite thing to do was balance on a 2x4 set perpendicular on top of another 2x4 . . . 

 A few falls and spills but nothing serious!

 Aliyah trying so hard to be like her big brother and sister . . . 

She did a pretty good job!!

A Classic Book

So I checked Where the Wild Things Are out of the library a few weeks ago.  Why?  Because, honestly, I've never read it!  I've always heard so much about it and how it is a classic etc so I wanted to see for myself what it was all about.  I didn't really get why it is such a great book . . . but my kids love it!  All three of them!  Samuel can practically read the whole book from memory. Aliyah loves it so much that she takes it with her when she naps.  It is a cute book . . . but I'm not sure it's that cute!!  What is cute is listening to my kids "read" it!

Cornerstone Golden Eagles vs Haitian National Team

Anna's soccer team at Cornerstone had the unique opportunity to play the women's Haitian National team.  When we heard about this, we knew we had to be there!!  We brought Hope and our Haitian flags and cheered on both teams!

Detroit Tigers Game

So excited to show Grandma his treats that he was taking to the Detroit Tigers' game!

Walking to Comerica Park. We love baseball!

Cabrera is Samuel's favorite player

Seeing the field for the first time.  Despite Daryl "dropping" (or someone stealing?) the tickets on the way to the field, we were still able to get in (thank you, StubHub!) for the game.  Things got a little stressful for a few minutes!!

So excited to be at a Detroit Tigers baseball game!  Samuel was at a game 2 years ago, but of course he has no recollection of it.

Riding the Carousel with Daddy

We had great seats on the 3rd base line

Samuel sat and watched the WHOLE game.  The only time we got up was during the 7th inning when Samuel had to go to the bathroom.  We expected that we would be taking turns walking around the stadium with him or entertaining him in some way.  But nope, he loved watching the game!

"Catching" bugs in his glove since we were too high up for any foul balls!

Tigers win!

A Lazy Sunday Afternoon

Mooville!!
