An Afternoon with the Boys

I spent the afternoon playing outside with the boys today. Big and I shot baskets...

...while Bud rode around us on his bike.

I know that you're so surprised that I took pictures of the process.


I love this shot of Big trying to grab the ball that rolled through his legs:

At one point, Big passed me the ball ("I'm gonna throw you a bounce pass, Mom.") and told me he wanted me to shoot so he could get the assist. Yes, he's two. And, yes, he understands the assist thing. Weird, I know. (But so awesome!)

When I caught the pass I immediately took the shot. 

A total air ball.

In shock, I said to the boys, "Your mom just shot a total air ball!" 

To which Bud replied, "It wasn't a total air ball, Mom. It hit a leaf when it bounced on the ground!"

Thanks, Bud. 

He's 4, you know.

A few minutes later, Big accidentally looked into the sun and exclaimed, "Ahhhh! The sun just poked me in the eye!"


Gotta love my boys.
