In the swing of things

Seriously, Adam is one very “loved” little boy. This playground was waiting for him in Grandmama & Papa’s backyard when we got there on Saturday. I’ve been told putting it together was a two-day event and involved a very talented crew of volunteers.

Adam’s already mastered the rock wall and loves to climb up it and then go down the slide (on his belly, feet first). He also really likes to be pushed on the swing.

Some day he will have to share this with his brother and any future cousins/siblings, but for now it’s all Adam’s, and he couldn’t be happier about it. He’s a pretty lucky little guy.

PS – If you click on the pictures it will make them bigger and you can get the full effect of Adam’s smile. It’s worth it.

My mother is an English teacher, I should no better

I told you I was “one of those moms.”  Adam thought it was pretty cool that he and Luke both had the same outfit on and kept pointing out the octopuses on them. Did you know that “octopuses” is actually the correct pluralization of the word “octopus”, not “octopi”? It is amazing (and sometimes scary) the things the internet can teach you.

Also, this week I learned that I have difficulties using the correct punctuation with quotation marks. I just read up on the proper usage on a grammar site; hopefully it helps (oooh a semicolon, look who’s getting all fancy now).

And yes, the homophone misuse in the title of this post was intentional. I love a good pun.
