Our Week

After such a fun President's Day at home, our week was going to be pretty regular.  Mommy had teacher-helper duty on Tuesday just before lunch, so this silly guy had a surprise lunch date.  Lincoln was so happy and being his craziest little self!  His favorite new pose is still being a weird pirate with his hand over his eyes yelling "Ahoy Matey!"  Best lunch date ever!
Wednesday was a regular school/work day for all, and the boys were happy to snuggle and read after dinner.  Library books make everyone happy! The thumbs up isn't new for Lincoln, but Beau is just getting into it too.  Silly and sweet brothers.
Thursday and Friday were super busy, and somehow no pictures were taken . . . blasphemous!!!! 
We all slept in on Saturday, then we had lots of activities planned.  The weather was in the 60s but really windy, but we all wanted to enjoy the day outside because the next few days are said to be icy and cold.  Daddy headed to the club for golf, and Mommy and the boys went to the back yard for some fun.  Mommy decided to get in her daily workout on the patio, and two sneaky boys grabbed some sticks and a hideout place behind the tree to shoot at Mommy.  Little did they know that Mommy's shoes and fists had pretend shooters each time she kicked or punched.  They LOVED it!!  See two sneaky guys peeking out from behind their shield?!?! 
Thirty minutes of cardio later . . . Lincoln couldn't help but give the enemy (his Mommy) a flower he found in the yard.  This one is going to go on the list as one his cutest pictures ever.  Sweetest and cutest face captured in surprise being so kind to hand his Mommy a flower. 
Beau wasn't ready to quit fighting yet, so he beasted around with his stick/shooter for a bit more.  He never quits!! 
Lincoln asked to go on a bike ride after playing in the back yard for an hour, so a bike ride we did.  Beau and Mommy jogged along for half a mile while Lincoln was a total pro.  Mommy is so cool that we've dropped the elbow and knee pads . . . helmet is still necessary though, right?  (I'm pretty sure when I learned how to ride a bike with no training wheels in my nightgown in the snow on our neighbor's concrete basketball court on Christmas morning in 1985, there were no safety precautions.  Best learning to ride a bike story ever, right?)  Lincoln had fun riding through the neighborhood, and Beau had fun jogging along. 
We made a quick trip to the party store for some birthday party supplies because we are in full-on March birthday party planning.  Lincoln had basketball practice and a game in the late afternoon, and he was a defensive star!  He's really figured out his role, and he loves being a Guard.  He's getting better about knowing his man to guard and even getting quick to knock the ball out of his hands.  He got passed the ball a few times, and he did a great job in the game.   
Lincoln and Dad went to the Dallas Mavs game on Friday night with Nick and Mr. Corey, and they took tons of fun pictures.  That post is up next.
