When I got up this morning it was pouring rain. I looked at the forcast and it predicted rain all day. This is going to call for some creativity on my part today. With 2 energetic, rowdy boys, I must come up with something fun to do indoors today. I thought it would be good to make cinnamon rolls for breakfast on a rainy day. This is something we rarely have. So with the help of Mr. Pillbury dough boy, I threw some cinnamon rolls in. The boys love them! They probably think I make these homemade and you know what, I am going to let them think that for now. I mean, why ruin that precious innocence now? That won't damage them for life, will it? One of these days they will figure it out.....
We colored lots of pictures today. WIll is getting really good at drawing squares. He does it all the time. He also can identify all his letters and is beginning to spell simple words like cat, dog, Dad, Mom, etc. Jake still likes to color on the walls, so I have to sit close by to monitor him. LOL. Jake loves to draw circles. He also likes to try and draw trianges. He says, "Look Mama, I draw a triangle.." I look at it and it looks like a cute scribble...I say, "Oh, Jake that is great!!!"
After lunch, I made a tent for them to play in. I had to get creative with this one, so I got their bedspread and just hung it betweeen their twin beds. THey absolutely loved it and played in there all afternoon.
My parents called yesterday to say they wanted to take us all out for my birthday (11/18) and Lance's Bd (11/10). So, tonight we all met at Macaroni Grill and had a GREAT time. I love being with my family. The boys love being with my parents. My Dad acts like a kid just like them! Sometimes I find myself correcting my Dad instead of the boys. We all had a great meal and great family time and got to talk about some real important family issues. Thank you God, for our family. What is life without family? Not much. Not much.
We are all planning a trip to Tullahoma this weekend to continue the birthday celbrations. Matt is going to be bringing his tent and my Dad loves to show off his bon-fire skills. So, needless to say, Will and Jake will be having plenty of hot dogs and marshmellows this weekend.
Lord willing, I will write tomorrow......(just for you Faith....Ha!!!)
