A Day in The Life

We started the day off with a mini photoshoot... during changing out of jammies time, hence the half dressed boys!

Then, we had a playdate of which I was too busy to take pics...

A little afternoon snack turned mess, a common occurence.

 

Then, nightly ritual of a swim with Daddy

Followed by water ice!

Jake saying PWEEZ for a slurpee. He has asked for months to try one. So, we were on a Jake and Mommy date and I promised... two seconds later he says," I don't like this Mommy."

My Boys

Sean's Three

My nephew Sean turned three this week. I just can't believe it. I feel like it was yesterday when Jon and I drove down to VA to be with Nikki and Eko as they welcomed him into the world! They moved here last June and now I get to see him every week! I love my little Seany. Happy birthday little man! My dad took tons of great pics... so sorry in advance...

Could it be... an actual family photo??

Ugh, this boy. I could kiss those cheeks all day

Soo handsome

The motorcycles were a big hit with the boys

 And the car rides... shocker.

Ode to the Mocha Swirl

It appears in a previous post... I neglected to mention another dear member of the Scibilia gang whom we love so much. Here's to you Mocha! You are never forgotten...

Ode to you Mocha,

Here's to your swirly goodness... chocolatey yumminess... perfect blend of ice and caffine... and of course... your man purse... can't forget that!

Just a quick word to say you are appreciated too!

Love, The Sharp's

Family and Friends Kind of Friday

     Tonight we had double the fun. We started our night off with a little lake party to celebrate with the Rubright family. I have been connected to the Rubrights for over seven years now. Their oldest daughter, Anna was in my first class when I started teaching third grade. The summer after she was in my class I began tutoring her in the summertime. I tutored her on and off until Will was born. I also volunteered with a couple of organizations they are involved with as well. Their second daughter Natasha, is now my mommy's helper and she comes twice a week for two hours to play with the boys. She is a lifesaver!!! Natasha graduated from the eighth grade this year and they held a bbq at the lake. Jake has never swam in a lake before and I just knew he would love it. Will had fun too. The lake has a beach and swing set as well, so the boys could have stayed there all night. Thanks Rubrights!

         We also had a suprise visitor today. Abby was taking a course this week in DC and decided to take the train up for the weekend!  When I told Jake someone came to visit him... he yelled,"YES... ABBY! ABBY'S WEDDING DAY!" He is super excited for her wedding in November when he gets to be a ring bearer. We actually have a wedding this weekend... so after spending time at the lake, we made sure we had our Abby time tonight. The boys got to stay up late and loved their Abs time. Miss you Abs!!!

Just Plain ol' Fun

Three years or so... I was outside gardening and a neighbor walked by with her son in a stroller. We chatted for a little and quickly realized that our boys were close in age. I said,"we should get together" all casual, cool and calm... while inside I was thinking, "YES... let's have a play date... like TODAY!" Anyway, I didn't get her number, but I remembered her name was Heather and she lived at 305. My house was 205 so that was easy to remember. After hoping she would walk by again for a few weeks... I just decided to walk up to her door. She answered, we chatted and set up a play date for the following day... the rest is history. Heather has become much more than a neighbor to me and I'm thankful to have her in my life. Her children Alex and Cara are definitely Jake's best buddies. Today, we took the kids to a park called Smith House in PA. I've been there a few times, but this was their first. All the kids had a blast and it was a wonderful day!
