I have been lazy lazy lazy since Raymond was born. Proof of my laziness = I have read 3 books! (all the Bayern books by Shannon Hale) More proof of my laziness:

basketball on the big screen in the middle of the day!!

I do love college basketball. I never watched any sports until I was in college and then I never really watched until I had kids – now I can’t play as often so this is the second best thing. So basketball and reading on my Nook are the two perfect activities for sitting and holding an adorable new baby 🙂

my snuggle bug - if i keep up with these 2 activities I will have another 20 pound 4 month old

One of the days I wasn’t SOO lazy. I let Cali call a bunch of the cousins and we had a random movie play day. It also happened to be Sam’s birthday so the kids were all hyper and happy.

batman shirts are the coolest - especially if you are turning 5 this year

Movie Party!

Ben is contributing to my lazy days… he encourages my basketball watching and gets more books for my Nook. When he is home he is super dad and picks up all the slack that I am leaving behind. Mostly he finds himself  playing with the kids.

Raymond getting some daddy time - the tummy rub

In keeping with my laziness I let Ben take the 3 big kids to the school Art festival on Thursday. The kids had a great time. They really just wanted to do the Soda Pop walk so they did and out of 4 winners that round, 2 of them were our Packer and Cali. They must have their dads good luck. Benji worked hard on his 2 Liter Soda and made a Whale Trail theme. If you have an electronic gaming tablet (like Ben’s new Transformer Prime) you might want to check out that game – its fun.

and we got to buy Benji's art! I love that he named his flower Raymond.

Speaking of Raymond… I thought I’d put on his cute little bear shirt, socks and mittens and snap some pictures, i did just that. too bad he looks pretty doofy. i was thinking cute in my mind but it just didn’t happen…
