elliott & his hat


elliott found this hat while we were shopping for summer clothes and he had to have it. he just can't believe that our school doesn't allow you to wear hats/caps so he wears it everywhere else we go. :-)


at the farm. (blog post coming).

i'm sure the fish bite so much better wearing the hat.

at six flags (post coming).

***his shoes did come in but they were to big.....sent them back for an exchange. we are again checking the front door...."where are my shoes?"

I AM ELLIOTT.

isn't he a CUTIE! even in MY shoes....LOL. i have a house full of comedians. elliott walks into the kitchen this morning for breakfast all dressed for school,wearing my shoes....LOL...no he didn't wear them to school....he wore his gray chucks. he has been waiting not so patiently for mr. UPS (checking the front porch multiple times daily) to bring his new shoes....wait until you see what he choose....i love them....very different and unique! elliott is very fashion forward and he doesn't care for a second what anyone thinks....if he likes it that is all that matters. i ask him before i ordered his new shoes if he was sure he would wear them and he quickly reminded me that i say that being different is a good thing and i told him that i do say that and it is but that i just wanted him to be sure before i spent the money. he said, "mom, I AM ELLIOTT!" enough said....i ordered those babies and hopefully that will be here SOON! i can't wait to share pics of my fashionista in his new shoes. but for today you get a picture of him wearing my shoes. :-)

and yes to those that have ask....he is going to start a blog. i just have to find the time to set it up for him and show him how to post etc. that will probably be after track season is over....only 2 more track meets left. :-( i am going to be sad when it is over, it has been so much fun watching them run. i'll blog about that soon.

they did it and mama survived. :-)

this morning tate and elliott rode their bikes to school.
****
i admit, i can be an overprotective mama.....okay, my big kids read my blog so i have to be completely honest, i AM an overprotective mama! even though we live about a mile from the school there is still that school traffic that concerns me. sunday, they practiced riding their bikes to school, we gave them the safest route and we followed them in the car to make sure they knew the route and could ride it safely.....they did great!

***
they have been asking for a good while to ride their bikes to school and i haven't been to keen on the idea. honestly, i love taking my kids to school....i love those last few minutes in the car. i like for them to hear those, have a great day and i love yous before they get out. plus, i cherish those little moments when as they are walking up to school and they look back and give me that little smile and wave goodbye. i am such a sap but those little moments are precious to me.

yes, i drove by the school after school started to make sure they got there safe and sound. :-)
