OMK Kids Day

There are many benefits to being a military child in our State including lots and lots of fun events!  Today we went to a "game day" where the kiddos were able to play games and do fun activities with other military children from our area.  They also got some good food, fun prizes, t-shirts, and "hero packs."  Prince K is big enough to join in the fun with confidence, even if I can't participate because I'm chasing his brothers.  :-)  He is so brave and grown up, and I love it!

Prince M spent most of the time running around, making a mess, and throwing balls.  He wasn't able to participate in any of the activities because he was much younger than the other kids there, but he still had fun!  Prince M gets a lot of attention from the other grown-ups who comment on his wild hair and his beautiful smile.  It was easily mid-60's today for temperature, but he insisted on wearing his coat all day, completely zipped - I'm guess it's a comfort thing, but it may just be because he's 2. 

Prince L falls right in between his brothers right now as far as participation.  He loves to play the big-kid games, but is still a little timid and distractable.  He loved throwing balls around with Prince M for a while, and then playing kickball with Prince K and some of the grown-ups.  He also started a mini rock collection!

I am so proud of my beautiful, amazing, resilient boys.  I love watching them grow, explore, and play.  I hope Hubby won't be deployed for years to come, but I know whenever he eventually does, our boys will be just fine with their Momma.  They love being military kids!
