Today the boys got to explore firetrucks, etc. while hubby shopped in Lowes. Afterwards they even got to make their own firetrucks and take them home.
I decided to let the Things paint their pumpkins this year, this is all the farther I got decorating mine while keeping T2 well supplied with green paint...which he used to completely cover his with, apparantly pumpkins are supposed to be green, not orange if you are 3!
here are all my pumpkins with their pumpkins.
We had our annual Mug n Muffin last Sat. and about 45 women cramed into one room to chat, listen to a short devo I gave and discuss Servant-Love.
After T3 and I got home from the mug n muffin (I didn't dare go without him lest they not let me in) hubby took off for Meat and Paintball with 25 guys and staff. I sent him with the camera and not surprisingly it came back with zero pics of the men's event on it...so here is one of T1 eating a huge piece of meatloaf instead (I have a great recipe if you are looking for one...yummy sauce on top!).
T1 is enjoying soccer - if by "enjoying" you mean: the times during every game that he cries or lays down on the grass while everyone plays around him, innitiates a huge dogpile or picks grass and throws it on his teamates instead of paying attention. I was appalled at first by this behavior until I saw loads of other 5 year olds crying, picking grass, laying on the field and following his lead in the dogpile.
Two weekends ago we asked 30 of our student leaders to give up 3 hours of their Sat. to learn how to better lead their Bible studies, and guess what? They came!
We fed them breakfast first of course!
Much to my dismay, err, delight, Piggy our pet toad is still alive and well. He is living up to his name by consuming copious amounts of crickets (I can't seem to walk by one without picking it up now!) and stinking up the tank (ick!). I'm considering filling his tank to the brim with pea rocks (BTW ask me sometime what T2 thinks "pea rocks" means) and seeing if he will dig down and hibernate for the winter so I don't have to try and clean it (okay, okay, beg Hubby to clean it even though it wasn't his spontaneous idea to let them keep the toad) in the winter.
T3 is almost 6 months old! Sigh, it goes so fast. He is rolling all over the place now and just started on cereal this week. He is never bored as long as his brothers are around.
A few other random stories and thoughts of late:
T1 is learning about the 5 senses at PreK and one day his teacher was telling them about hearing. She said, "Did you know that some people cannot hear at all? Does anyone know what a person who can't hear is called?" T1 immediately raised his hand and very seriously answered, "Grandmas and Grandpas!"
I decided recently that a happy marraige is 50% figuring out what ticks the other off, and 50% not doing those things! Now if I could just remember what I did that ticked hubby off when I decided that! Hmm...having that third one really fries your brain!
The other day T2 was putting in a cd (the Things are REALLY into books on cd and tape from the library)...for some reason I just don't seem to have as much time to read to them these days...anyways, he apparantly decided to figure out what the switch on the side of the player did and after turning up the volume full blast switched it from cd to radio. He came running into the room crying after scaring himself. :)
