**News Flash**
Cooper surfed the high seas,
and they both served us all dinner at the 50's Diner.
But do you know...I don't think anything was as much fun as all the escalators they got to ride!
What an absolutely wonderful time! The boys were great, the weather divine, the city enchanting. So so thrilled that these memories are the ones that will shape my children's lives. Reminds me also to do more of this. It was one day off work and simple 3 hour drive, but the photo above which was captured at an outdoor restaurant overlooking the harbor would never have be taken had we not gone.
Little boys getting board...
and getting tired...
but always lots of fun.
With the hand injury, we have resorted to soccer lately. Coop is now officially on a team too. Balls Mills Soccer Club Team. Don't worry...you will not be asked to come to games. No games until they are at least 7 :-)
Okay, so being the Martha that I am...I have been dying to try these. Homemade donuts. You make them with refrigerator biscuits. They were totally easy, looked beautiful...tasted like crap. I made them last weekend because we usually splurge on weekends and have something yummy...and I LOVE donuts. I have to admit, I'm not sure how they could have been so bad...I mean, it's deep fried dough coated in sugar? They didn't cook all the way through, and they were seriously greasy...even the boys turned up their noses. Some things are just better left to the experts.
My father mentioned to me that the flowers were late this year and I didn't really take note until I was looking through some of last years photos... This was taken on April 1 of last year...this years daffodils are not anywhere near this yet. Why exactly does this happen? It seems like it's been so mild this year? Even in March? Do we just need a couple of really warm days? Or is it the nights? Or the rain or lack there of? Food for (flowers) thought.
To those of you that don't yet know of Coop's accident...we had a trip to the ER Tuesday afternoon. Coop cut his hand pretty bad at my office and had to get 10 stitches in his hand. It was pretty scary and Cooper said it was the "baddest hurt he ever had". But let me just tell you...he was amazing. He was very scared and the shots in his hand were pretty painful but he was so brave. He is doing much better now...learning how to do most everything one handed. Well everything except pulling down "pants with buttons". Tonight we have to remove the bandages and checks the wound...I'm hoping he'll let me take pictures. So I'm warning you now...next blog entry might be PG13!
