More Old Man Ridge quotes

Tere is away on business. He called this morning to say hello and ask how we all were doing.

Ridge talked to him first.

T: Hey buddy, how are you?
R: Well Dad, I'm backed up again. Guess it was all that cheese I had yesterday.

Kid you not.

He also told my Dad today while riding in his car on this rainy Monday, "I'm not gloating, but my Mom's car has a sensor so it knows when to wipe the windshield."

I am taking this as a reminder to be very intentional with what I say to him. Let's not waste time on fun facts about the car's capability or what constipation is and how it happens!

Grammy and Opa were sweet to spend this Fair Day with the boys. Here is the elder (ly) son captivating Grammy with his Alvin and the Chipmunks joke book.

Sawyer's new do

The DAY AFTER getting a haircut, Sawyer decides to take a pair of scissors to his own head. He has long joked about giving himself a haircut, holding up my tweezers. Not so much a joke this time!



He was super excited to see Uncle Kyle at the haircutter. That guy was super confused!

Biking to School

I am having some of the same emotions I had when he left for Kindergarten.

State Fair

This year's trip to the fair was one we will remember. In addition to seeing the new Big Tex (which is every bit as creepy and scary as his now-charred predecessor),



we were on the opposite end of the park from our car when the sky fell.



Soaked to the bone. It was comical.

Petting zoo and corn dogs were a huge hit. Oddly, sawyer is scared of the rides. Ridge can't get enough. We watched this one go down worried Sawyer would puke at any moment and wishing it would stop. Ridge was grinning ear to ear while Sawyer just looked miserable!



Ridge and Tere did their annual fun house visit



and Sawyer liked the auto exhibits.

Just Like St Elmo's Fire

Sawyer came into our room (when he was supposed to be sleeping which is coincidentally when he uses his sweetest voice and is adorable looking in PJs) last night, handed Tere this fine instrument and asked him to play something beautiful for his bedtime. That man pulled off a very recognizable Mary Had a Little Lamb on that broken down, 5-year-old plastic sax.

Swoon.
