What a Life!

Ben found a stick that looked like the perfect fishing pole.

He messed around with it for a bit, but what he really needed was a good place to use it.

Finally, I spotted him over fishing on the other side of the driveway in Lake Cornfield. Of course.

Yesterday afternoon, when I looked outside, I saw him over by the picnic table, sitting quietly in his lawn chair, holding his fishing pole as though he were fishing. When Steve got home, I told him about it.

I learned that’s not at all what it’s like when they go fishing. Ben is in perpetual motion. Won’t sit down for 2 seconds. And runs his mouth the entire time. Talk. Talk. Talk. Except for when other people come and start fishing near them. Then he just watches them and doesn’t say a word.

Summer Reading kicked off at our local library last Friday. It’s geared for school-aged children, but I signed up both boys anyway. Activities include four trips to the library, doing ten activities from a list, and reading – or being read to – for 15 minutes four times a week.

I signed them up thinking I’d be reading to them, but, true to Joey fashion, it looks like Joey will be doing his reading all by himself.

Read on!

Ben caught his first fish!

Looking at the cows.

Steve’s Aunt gave us these sunglasses for Joey when we were up at the farm on Memorial Day. Her only mistake was handing them to us as we walked out the door to go home.
