Under Construction

This past week, we have been working on getting the yard ready for a new playground. The boys have been having the time of their lives watching the skid steer and helping dad build stuff. The last few days Cade has even fallen asleep at the window watching his dad work, and every morning he asks if it's done yet. We are all pretty excited for this thing to be finished!

4 Year Old Pillow Talk

Tonight, I was reading Cade one of his favorite bedtime stories, "Oh, David!" by David Shannon. The book is about a little boy who does all sorts of naughty things, and his mom follows him around all day saying "No, David, no!" (shocking that Cade would relate to such a thing!). Anyway, we got to this page where David was picking his nose. The conversation went like this...

Cade: Mom, you know when I do that?
Me: What?!
Cade: I like to roll the boogers into a ball. I do-ed that a million times.
Me: Um, no Cade, a better thing to do would be to get a tissue.
Cade: No mom. Big boys don't like to do that. Big boys like to roll boogers into a ball. I do it a million times.

Sigh.

Happy Independence Day

Fireworks in the sky and flames on the mountain, loads of homework and screaming children, all made for an interesting day. We are happy to be free anyway, even if the celebration didn't quite turn out as planned. God bless America!
