This is the story of a woman living in household of five boys, ranging in ages from mid teens to barely a year. The title of this blog is inspired by the fact that a diaper is never simply thrown away here. They consistently double as footballs ("Go long!") and then basketballs. I wonder if I should market this as a hybrid sport?

Catchoccer!
Ok, pictured here we have sons #2, 3 and 4. :) Today, sons #2, 4, 5 and I went to the park with multiple balls and some baseball gloves. Son #2 and I were playing catch while son #5 crawled around in the grass beside us with a squishy ball and son #4 played on the playground. But #4 got bored with that, and wanted to play catch with us. We had a kickball-type Ironman ball with us, so I kicked it , and he thought that was hilarious and chased it down and kicked it back to me, for me to kick it away again. Meanwhile, I was still playing catch with #2... and I soon found myself playing soccer with one kid whilst simultaneously playing catch with the other.
I have dubbed this new game CATCHOCCER! When we told son #1 about it later, he felt that we should set up scoring rules. Everything's got to get complicated, doesn't it? lol!
And now, just because, I will post a gratuitous baby picture. It's cute. Who can't smile when they see this?? (And that brown stuff below his nose is peanut butter, I promise.)
And then one last item of business for this post, I will add a link to a video I took right after taking that picture. It's of him talking and laughing. Only follow the link if you can handle gooey sweetness. :D
Son #5 talking and laughing... who can resist baby's laughter???
