Football, Track and Biking

Today was one of the first really rainy windy fall days. Not ideal given Julia decided today would be a great day to take one nap, and this nap only lasted an hour (this girl really knows how to make a mom go insane with her unwillingness to nap). So we headed to the basement and played a few sports.....As usual Jack's first choice was football (tackle style), oh my..... then it was on to track (races down our hallway to a toy made finish line). Per Jack's rules everyone has to participate in all sports, so Julia and I also did some football hikes, long hallway passes, tackled Jack, and had some good hallway races. Finally it cleared to we headed outside for some biking. These two LOVE their bikes! After an afternoon of sports, I am pooped, I just hope Julia is too so we can all sleep a little!

Watering the Plants

We watered the plants last night. Well actualy we ended up watering Jack...



































Running for Sleep?

Jack and Julia have both been sick over the last two weeks, one then the other, which has made for some interesting sleeping patterns and some really early wake ups, as in the 5 o'clock hour. To get them both a little cat nap to make it through the day I have been taking them on some early morning runs. So if you see a sleepy looking mom pushing a double bob with two sleeping kids on the Burke Gilman early in the morning, it is probably me! Looks like it worked this morning.....

Passing on Tradition

Jack helped Jeff make shortcakes (a Wise family tradition for years) up at Guemes last weekend. Jack has so much fun and I think Jeff did too!













Best Buds

Jack and his best buddy Jomie are having a blast this summer playing on the beach, swimming, and eating ice cream. Here they are one summer evening enjoying an ice cream on the beach.
