JKLM Jenkins: The Week In Pictures

MONDAY

This is sweet Josh hugging Ty after Ty's soccer practice. We just happened to notice Ty's team practicing across our street, so we popped over to say hi. After practice and some playing, Ty came over to thank Josh and they hugged. How sweet is this?

TUESDAY

Josh had his first outdoor lacrosse practice on this beautiful evening. Josh is in grey shorts, kind of on the right.

This is what Luke thinks of the 90-minute practice.

We were so happy it was warm and sunny!

WEDNESDAY

Hump day started out like this...with two boys in my bed. I could not love this more! Josh had a bad dream so he came down to sleep with us in the very early morning, and Luke came down around 4:30. (Dad's alarm went off at 4:45 so that was fun for 15 minutes...) Just a few hours of mommy-sandwich, but I soaked it all up.

Wednesday night was Cub Scouts and we did a service project of resurfacing a trail. It was conveniently located right by our work, and it was timed perfectly -- we got done and were in the car with only 2 rain drops on us! The boys worked hard! Look at how hard Luke is working on the wheelbarrow.

Josh raked his head off...we had 600' of trail to work on and about 25 scouts, so we had a lot of ground to cover.

This is my favorite. They're so cute together. One day I will look back at the time when the boys were too little to do the wheelbarrow alone, and they were not too big to do it together. Awww

I LOVE to see what the kids get from the school library. This year Luke has borrowed a Berenstain Bears book each week, and the other one is always kind of random. World War 1 is a new one...and a pretty dark bedtime subject. I love this stuff.

THURSDAY

Thursday morning was rainy, and the big huge worms were very entertaining. Check this big guy out!

Thursday at lunch I hiked the M with some friends, and we saw three of these crazy guys land. It was kind of amazing to see so close.

For our dinner before Lacrosse and Soccer practices (yep, we have a double day one a week!), we had Subway. We were told by daddy to try it out because they have small bags of Jacked Doritos. This is Josh trying out the spicy Hulk Doritos. Verdict: delicious.

FRIDAY

Luke lost his 3rd tooth on Friday afternoon before we went to Movie Night at school. The tooth was very wiggley, and had been for a few days, but while the boys were playing basketball in the garage it got knocked out. Super exciting.

Luke wanted to do a silly smile to show off his new hole, and Josh wanted to photobomb. Check and Check.

That night Luke wrote a letter (with perfect finger spaces between words..) to Tooth Fairy.

Dear Tooth Fairy, Can you take a picture of me and you if you can? Thank you from Luke.
A girl in his class brought a picture of her with tooth fairy for show and tell. What is the world coming to? Doesn't she have parents to talk her out of spreading this kind of nonsense? UGH!

Tooth left Luke a note that said "I'm sorry, but I forgot my camera tonight. Love Tooth" and when Luke read it he didn't skip a beat and said "Well, next time!" God bless his little optimistic self.

SATURDAY

Saturday morning was fort building time in the living room. Every fort they build has a place for the weapons. Of course.

Daddy took the kids shopping for new BMX helmets and gear. Luke came home with a shirt, gloves and a rocking' helmet. This is his #1 pose.

Sometimes he looks like a sweet baby to me. Those cheeks melt me.

Saturday evening the weather was lovely and so we biked over to the playground (full face helmet and all), and played for a bit. Luke's turning into a confident little climber. Of course Josh helps him find his routes.
