{this moment} - A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week.

A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

diy: remake a snack bag.

7th Generation makes little disolvable packets of dish washer soap. I actually like the bag they came in and love the soap, but have decided the card board box the soap also comes in is much easier for the environment to deal with. I decided to re use the bag that the packets came in by refacing the surface with duck tape I like. After washing it out well and covering with a pretty pattern. I stuffed with a nice phat hummus, cucumber, red onion, red lettuce, kalmatta olive sandwich and took it to work with me. I was just tickled about the remaking of my little lunch bag. I am always looking for tips on non disposible lunch box and to go items.

Wall Ball

"It's like this Dad, when I call "hammers" then you hit like this, ok. you got? alright lets get this game started"

Wall ball has been the best used of space for this wall for a while now. Wall Ball has been are reall ball. lol. These two go at it and then get Tres and I involved too. But really I haven't beat either one of them yet. It really is a fun game, you'll be smiling for sure. Plus there is a lingo like any sport, a lingo that is just as darling as ever to hear and learn from these two. No accidents so far, just red sweaty cheeks and good ol' fun.

This one was truly educational. The tow in the back of photo definitely courting, lots of comments from spectators. I actually felt privileged to observe their behavior.

Red Bombers final game

Funny name for the team the kids picked. Spencer's first season playing on the basketball team. He did so great, tried his best at each game, had a huge smile while running down the court, made some shots rebounds. I loved watching him play. It brought memories of playing basketball to me. It was a favorite sport of mine to play when I was a kid.
The last practice of  the season was kids against parents. It was so fun, I had a smile on my face for a whole hour! Jake and Ruben played with me on the parents team, it was a blast!
