Giddybug

Gideon, bathing suit inside out and backwards, with Titus's cowboy boots on. : )

and more sayings

guess we will doing sayings till I get a camera. : )

I asked Gideon how we know Abbey is a girl. (dangerous question maybe) he said, "We put a dress on him and underwear and he's a gull."

later I asked him again and he said, "We just pretend he's a gull."

unripe tomatoes

While wondering why the garden tomatoes were not ripening, Silas said,"well, they're happy, their just not laying eggs."

more sayings

said during a crazy loud thunderstorm: "I bet you could have heard that one in Mississota!"

Sayings

Titus: "We're going to the dentist because Sam has a lot of calories."

Luke: "Mom, my finger hurts real bad. I have a cankernail," which I think is some mixture of a hangnail and a canker sore.

Water fun

Went to the reservoir today to swim and got jetski rides and tubed! Fun! Too bad I didn't have my camera.

I love Gideon's expressions

Head Injury #1356

These are all last weeks pictures that I haven't posted. Still don't have a camera. Have to check the budget and just haven't looked yet.





How can Luke be this happy with a gash in his head. I had to shave his head a bit to get the butterfly bandaid to stick. This was a crowbar to the head injury. Also Saturday morning Gideon fell out of the bath and gashed open his chin. I butterflied it, its healing well. He was willing to let me mess around with that but wouldn't let me pull a sticker out of his foot. And the sticker was sticking out quite a ways - would have been a quick easy grab if I was willing to fight for it.

Abbey's first blueberries

Boy kind of fun

2 15 passenger vans, 3 adults, 11 boys, 2 bows, 8 guns, 8 arrows.

Lost a few arrows, but everything and everyone else came back safe.


Here are most of us. My friend watched Abbey and Gideon. Titus got scared after the very stern warning and safety training Mr. Zander gave and wanted nothing to do with guns or anyone around him shooting. Titus told me he wanted to sit in the (extremely hot) van and "have a chit chat." During our chit chat it came out that he was scared. So Nana came and picked him up for a special grama day with lincoln logs, peanut butter, and jelly sandwiches, and cookies.

















Here we are eating lunch in our makeshift shade. I meant to bring our 30 foot tarp and somehow 6 foot tarp made it into the van. Not alot of shade.







Here they are hiking around and looking (evidently not very hard) for arrows.
