Big Tex

These pictures almost need no explanation, because they so perfectly describe my son. If somebody said, "Tell me about your son," all I would have to do is hold these pictures up, cause they pretty much say it all.

His safari hat...
his popgun...
his Word of God sword...

all tucked into his Thomas undies that are on backwards!! I love it!!


Noah tucks everything he can into his undies as if they were a tool belt. Flashlights, toys, guns, swords, they all can stick right into the side to be pulled out a moment's notice. I don't even know what he was watching, but evidently it required this entire outfit cause he certainly didn't have it all on a few minutes before!

I got the boys each a popgun at the homeschool conference and they haven't left their side since I came home! Noah even used his so much it broke the cork in the end! And the sword is pretty funny too - when you push the button it says, "The Word of God is quick and powerful and sharper than any 2 edged sword!" The kids LOVE it! It's the voice that the man uses, and then the kids try to mimic it and it's hysterical. And he INSISTS on wearing the underwear backwards. What will I ever do with this boy??

Discovery Green

Since the kids had so much fun last time at DG playing in the water, we decided to visit the park again last week. We went with our friend, Lisa, and her sweet kiddos. They all seemed to have tons of fun, but it was pretty crowded. I could not believe how many big kids were there! Wyatt must have gotten knocked down 3 times, and Noah twice. It reminded us of why we waited last summer until school started again! The kids played for a long time, and then we went and had a picnic under a huge tree. Of course the kids didn't eat, but they did have fun pulling the wagon up and down the sidewalk.

So all in all, the kids had fun, but we will definitely wait until school is in session again to return! The last picture is of Noah after the last time he got knocked down - doesn't he just look pitiful?


Here's Noah J being a sweet boy and trying to listen to me! "Put your arm around your brother and you guys smile!" What you can't tell is Wyatt is pinching his arm and pushing him away! What a little bug!!

Can you guess what he's saying? "POO POO!!!!" His favorite words!

Check out that yellow hair!! Love it!

I love this face!!! He does a weird voice when he makes it that I'm obsessed with!

My sad little monkey!

Swimming

So, this is Wyatt's idea of a good time. Laying down on your stomach in the water that accumulates on the sidewalk when we've left the sprinkler on too long. Doesn't it just sound awful? Your bare skin on concrete? He really thinks he's swimming! :)
