Well this has been a quick week! The highlight of school this week was...science!! Granbob and Gram got the kids 2 cool kits, one to grow vegetables and the other is a butterfly kit. So right along with Chapter 2 in our Science book, studying living things, we planted our vegetables and sent off for our caterpillars. Adam was thrilled with both of those activities. I think we will do a lot of hands on projects this year, this seems to be where Adam shows the most excitement.
Today we took Ryan to preschool and unfortunately had to leave him crying...same as he did on Tuesday. Last year he cried when he missed seeing Adam get on the bus and really missed him during the day so I guess this year it has been hard since Adam is at home and now he is leaving us to go to preschool. I am thankful for his wonderful teacher Mrs. Holley as well as knowing the tears are short lived and he recovers quickly! When we picked him up today he was happy to share that he ate his entire green apple at snack, well except for the skin. While Ryan is at preschool on Thursdays we are back at the house hosting Bible study. Our wonderful babysitter, Madeline, was out today since her daughter Lillian was still getting over being sick. We missed them but I was able to hold down the fort with the children in the basement while the rest of the group met upstairs. It was a good morning!
Todd worked a half day with Sean landscaping and then on his way home he passed us driving through town. We did a u-turn (which I am famous for) and headed back to catch up with him. He knows me well and went ahead and pulled over knowing I couldn't resist turning around to see him. The kids loved it and we got to touch base! Later that afternoon we were home and decided to go out to dinner. Before we went to dinner of we stopped by Replay to exchange a Wii game we got a few weeks ago, Star Wars Clone Wars for....Kung Fu Panda Wii game. To some of you this may be an insignificant point to our day but we have been WAITING to do this for WEEKS and the kids have lost much sleep over this transaction, when it would happen, what they would get, how much it would cost and the fact that we said everyday we are not doing that today. So the fact we got to do this tonight well lets just say...the boys were over the moon about this new game and now just want to head home to play and not go to dinner. Since they are not in charge we did manage to go to dinner and then we came home to play. The boys seem to love the new game; there has yet to be any buyers remorse, unlike our first purchase of Clone Wars. I think it is a good lesson to learn young, think hard about your choices and don't rush into anything, hopefully it will translate to much more important decisions later in life!!

After playing the game for a bit the boys get ready for bed, get teeth brushed and are settling into bed when they begin to tag team Todd with tons of Star Wars scenarios...Adam will start then Ryan will pipe in, then back to Adam and so on. If you spend any time with our boys you will have an opportunity to hear the great Star Wars stories with many characters and many situations. It is quite interesting since they really have had limited viewings of Star Wars and neither Todd or myself are into Star Wars. It is funny what your kids latch onto! We are thankful this is something they enjoy together! They are good brothers and becoming good friends which we hope and pray will last a lifetime!
