Caitlin Swimming

Caitlin just learned how to swim last weekend. Here is a little video showing her swimming under water.

Friends

We were at dance last night and the boys were playing their games. A little boy came and sat down beside Ostin to watch him play. They talked for a little bit about the game and how to play it and about some other games too. Then Ostin looked at the little boy and said,"Do you want to be friends?" I thought that was sweet and smiled a little. When the little boy said yes, Ostin stuck out his hand for the other little boy to shake! This whole interaction was just priceless. I believe I almost laughed out loud from watching them shake hands so seriously.

Mean Mom

So, Caitlin was reading Charlotte's Web tonight. She's been reading on it for a day or so. Sitting at the bar, she says, "Mom, Fern's mom is even meaner than you."
Now, I wasn't really sure how to take this. I paused in cutting up the blondies I had made and asked her what she meant. She said that Fern's mom had sent Avery to bed without any supper.
Sigh. Now I'm wondering, how mean am I?

Tonight's Sky

This is what the sky looked like tonight. I was getting ready to put the kids to bed and looked out the window. It looked like orange/yellow light shining down from the side. I had to go out and look. Over the back of the house it was still pretty sunny but to the left in front of the house it was a very dark blue. I haven't seen a sky that blue in a while. It was very pretty, but had the hint of a storm waiting to happen.

Happy Birthday Ostin!

Today is Ostin's 6th birthday. I took cupcakes to his school for his class. They all sang happy birthday to him.

Licking the icing off of the cupcake.

Red cupcakes with purple icing. These were the colors Ostin wanted.

Happy Birthday Caleb!!!!!!!

Caleb turns 8 today. We made cupcakes last night for school. He wanted blue cupcakes with orange frosting. The blue turned out a little bit on the green side but he liked them. As you will see from the pictures, he wanted his to have no icing on it.

We had cake on Friday night and the boys got to have a friend sleep over.
