Camping and Soccer

One of Declan's birthday presents way back when was a tent. This past weekend we put it up in the backyard for them to play in.



Soccer season starts next week. We went to the store and got them outfitted in proper soccer gear and they came home to model their shinguard socks. Apparently they're the best things ever and I've been informed by each kid that he wants to wear them forever. I guess before today they didn't realize how vulnerable their shins are.

Declan, in proper Declan style, stripped down to his unders because one can't properly model anything fully clothed.




(ETA: I'm trying to fix the settings so the full post will show in readers, but I can't tell if it's working.)

Lost in translation

Declan, in his quest for snuggles today, is being held like a baby by Chris. Chris was teasing him a little and saying he's going to rock the baby.

Declan: "Rock me."
Me: "Tell Chris to rock you like a hurricane."
Declan, with feeling: "Rock me like a Burger King!"
