Keeping a Boy Busy

I took this shot at church to email to Mommy and Daddy. Grandma bought Kevin some new sneaker Crocs yesterday!

However, before church was done, a blister had developed on his heel, so he went home barefoot!

While we were at church, Grampa added air to Kevin's bike tires and went shopping for a bat and balls. :) They played catch this afternoon.


In preparing for Kevin's visit, I had pulled out some things from the attic including Mommy's Fisher Price Magic set. He was very excited about learning how to do magic and could NOT wait to begin!!!! He mastered the first couple of tricks and did an impressive show for Grampa!

Guinness needed some exercise, so we took him to doggie park where Kevin LOVES to climb the spruce trees!!!


Grampa grilled our steaks while Grandma prepared the rest. We ate on the deck and needed one more high stool from the basement/garage level. Kevin insisted HE could carry it up 2 flights of steps!!!


I played ball with him after dinner. I was amazed at how well he did for never having experienced catching and batting before. He was able to make contact with the ball 50% of the time.

At bedtime, this was his prayer: "Thank you for a nice day. Thank you for dogs in the family. Thank you for Grandma and Grandpa. Thank you for the nice dinner. Thank you for the magic box. Tell Mommy we love her. Help us to have faith. Thank you for helping me play baseball. Thank you for the egg salad sandwiches I wanted for lunch. Help us to have a good day tomorrow. Amen."
