adventure | our little fairy tale

This last Friday was our wards Fathers and Sons camp-out. As usual the boys were pretty excited for it. Jon is ready to buy a new sleeping bag. He said they froze. I guess Regan didn’t want to sleep in his (his is awesome), and Jon’s just didn’t cut it. Jon told me that Regan didn’t want to change into jammies because it was cold and he didn’t want to get undressed. Regan also didn’t want to sit by the fire, but decided that the fire was okay because it kept him warm.

I asked Regan after giving him a giant hug and kiss when they got back home if he had fun.
“Ya! Just the boys NOT the girls!” He hears the opposite a lot from Kaylee, and was really excited to turn that phrase around on her.
And then a bout a half hour later, “Mom, I peed on the grass!”
Guess that’s all a little man needs from a camp-out. No girls and the freedom to pee anywhere.

We took the children to the park for family home evening. Regan decided to put on his dare devil pants, crazy pants, and stubborn pants. All.at.the.same.time!

Let’s start with the cute and work our way to the CaRaZy. I love when Kaylee picks out her own clothes. You can just see her little (BIG) personality show. She is most definitely zebra strips and pink plaid.

I got Regan an actual bike, but it’s two inches too big. So tonight he road the motorcycle push toy. We LOVE that thing!

Such lovely weather we are having right now. I will miss evenings like this all too soon. The dreaded heat is fast approaching.

So Jon and I are sitting on a bench chatting and watching the children play. I see Regan eying his ride on, and then the “mountain”. Just looking back and forth stroking his chin. He pretends to have a beard when doing serious thinking.

And I KNEW what he way contemplating. And so I am shaking my head and telling him no. And Jon’s all why are you saying no?

So Jon asks Mister Man what he is thinking. And Regan asks for help to get his ride on up the mountain so he can ride it down the slide. Jon says no. I said I told you so.

But he had his stubborn pants on, and wasn’t going to take no for answer. So I pulled out the camera, and Jon walked over to stand by to catching a falling child. We really didn’t think he’d get very far.

But when that kid gets a thought in his head he has to see it through. It may or may not have something to do with his redhead/latin blood……. 😉 Stubborn pants.

At this point he is just thrilled with himself, Kaylee and I are mumbling about crazy pants, and Jon is calling him a dare devil.

Jon wisely let him fall just enough to get scared off from trying this stunt again. Or so we thought…..

Poor little Bug was so upset that his visions of awesomeness failed.

It was so sad. He was all, “It didn’t work. I SO sad!”

And then he decided that he just needed to try a smaller slide. REALLY! This kid is going to give me all my grey hairs! Stubborn, dare devil, crazy pants!

Kaylee decided at this point she needed a fountain break. So I told Regan he HAD to wait for Dad to come back before trying to go down.

So he sat like this and waited for Jon. And delighted me with all manner of revving noises.

Jon: Do you think this is going to end well?

Regan: Um. Probably not.

So he may have been wearing his crazy, stubborn, dare devil pants, but he wasn’t wearing idiot pants. He turned his bike around, and shoved it down the steps.
