My Three Little Bosses!

While Daddy's Away The Boys Will . . . Miss Him!

It has been a busy week and we are glad to see Friday has finally arrived! We had the book fair this week, which was a lot of fun.  They had so many different books to pick from -- it was great.  I love that a child can get a book for only a few dollars.  You only have $3.00?  Well, we have these books over here that you can choose from.  It's great.  I learned that my children apparently have so many books at home that they can't remember what they have and what they don't have.  Alex very excitedly pulled the book he bought at the fair out of his back pack to show me.  It looked familiar and Logan loudly announced, "We already have that book."  Alex looked upset -- and it was only a $4 book so I told him that was fine because now they each had one.  It is a super hero book and if Alex had 5 of them I don't think he would care. 

We also finished the fundraiser -- which I am happy to bid farewell!  Alex sold over $100 worth of items and was very proud of himself.  I told him he would get two prizes and he said, "that's fine, but do I get to go to the ice cream party and play in the bouncy houses?"  Ha.  "Yes, you do," I answered.  "YES!"  was the reply.  Who needs prizes when there is ice cream and bouncy houses!

I took Logan to the park yesterday to play for a bit and as he played the wind blew through the trees and gold leaves fluttered down to the ground.  Logan looked up and watched them fall and then shouted for everyone in the park to hear, "Mom!  Look, the leaves are falling! It's fall!"  It was so cute.  I, too, am ready for fall! 

The school picnic was tonight but it was so windy, Logan kept saying his throat was hurting, and everyone was talking about rain -- so we stayed home.  I am now very pleased with my decision because it did rain.  The boys played video games for a little while and I did laundry.  We had dinner together and watched The Backyardigans and then after they had baths they played with Legos -- they are actually still playing with Legos.  In a bit we'll do the bedtime routine of brushing teeth, washing faces, getting one last drink, making one last trip to the bathroom, reading books, and tucking the boys into their beds. It's a routine that usually involves Jacob, but he is out of town this evening for work.  I figure he'll be home around 10:30 or 11:00.  The boys didn't understand why we ate dinner without Jacob or why their daddy wasn't there to read with them, play with them, and help them put their pajamas on. It is weird not having him here, but the boys and I had fun and I tried to keep them busy.  We tried to make the Krusty Krab, but those Legos can be frustrating (especially when you don't know where the instructions for the Krusty Krab are).  

I need to get the boys ready for bed -- hopefully the sound of the rain will help them go to sleep easier.  Tomorrow is Fun Friday and Crazy Hair Day -- you better believe there will be pictures . . .
