This weekend the family and I had a rare stay at home weekend. We just decided to hang around the house. As usual though after doing what he considered everything possible to keep himself entertained Tyler got bored. He asked do something that we actually hadn’t done in a long time since we are rarely home and that was to go outside and play. Well actually he asked to go out and throw the pigskin. Ha ha ha! I told him sure lets go.
We had such an absolute blast! We played a game of two person football. He would throw the ball to me and I would try to get pass him then I would do the same to him. He was pleasantly surprised that his mom still had it in her to run and throw a football. I was such a tomboy as a kid and of course having two older brothers I was going to learn how to play sports. He wound up beating me. The score ended up being 5 to 4. We also threw around a Frisbee. We actually had our neighbor cracking up at us because for a period of time neither one of us could catch the Frisbee. We laughed ourselves as well.
Then he decided to give me a heart attack and climb one of the trees in the neighborhood. I’m going to be honest I forgot how much energy this kid has. Look at him. Wouldn’t you be holding your breath? :
Then he decided to show me his gymnastic skills:
I had so much fun with him. We actually did this both Saturday and Sunday. It was so refreshing just to go outside and spend time with him. It just reminds me that I need to enjoy these moments because he is growing up so fast. I’m glad he still likes to hang out with his mom.
How was your weekend? What did you do?

Aw, that is so sweet that he still likes to hang out with his mom. I hope mine are like that as they get older! Boy is he a daredevil though, looks like he has no fear!

Our weekend was low key. We had a birthday party to attend, then hung around the house.
But your weekend game me a preview of life with an energetic boy.

He’s a ball of energy for sure! I love the pictures throwing the ball.
Yeah, I would be uneasy watching him climb the tree, too!
