5 good weekend things:

1.) Apple picking with Dave, Theo, and Emmett on a beautiful autumn day.

2.) Playing catch with Theo in the backyard and getting 2 balls stuck in the tree. (The first, unintentionally. The second, while trying to get the first down!)

3.)Playing diggers-and-dump-trucks with Theo for nearly 2 hours at a time.

4.) The secret, shared language of Emmett and the sleepy pigs.

5.)Burying my boy. And then finding corn in his shoes, in his pockets, in the depths of my washing machine...

Oh, the joys of boys.

I remember sitting in that corn myself. Let me tell you from experience that there is one thing worse than sand in the crack at the beach....corn in your underpants!!!!
