Week N

It's been a week that was hard to find inspiration for. We focused on Numbers a little just 1-10 and will continue those. We had some fun Bible stories Naaman the leper, Noah and the ark, and Nehamiah the cup-bearer. Our verse ended up being : Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is none other name, under heaven, given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 4:12
We held up four fingers as we were saying the reference to help remember what the number was and Phi made it part of his routine when he said it in Sunday School much the other kids amusement.
We also had Noodles and Nuts (pistachios) but no pictures of them. We talked about Neighbors and Necks. We focused on Noses and Nostrils ...because all three boys had a cold all week. :P And one night while I was busy making supper Phi and Leroy began conducting scientific experiments of their own.
Phi's involved seeing what would happen if you took all the screws out of the door handle ...

and surrounding fixtures.

Leroy on the other hand decided to see at what ratio toilet paper would exceed the amount of water in a quart jar if the jar was half full. Brilliant! :) Sad to say his mother cut his experimenting short, since we need TP for more useful things... (we actually got some TP free this week thanks to Aunt Cornelia and her coupon sharing. Along with lots of diapers for only 2.99 per 30 down from $13.99-$9.99 the usual prices)

We worked on the New fence project.

Dug up some Night crawlers the only critter we could think of besides Newt.

And found these Nasty little spiders crawling out of the old fence boards. EEEW they still sorta give me the shudders, they're so creepy looking. Thankfully they were very slow crawlers and not the speedy ones that are places you don't want them before you can get away.

They acted and looked very much like crabs minus the pinchers so I call them crab spiders but have yet to look them up. That's a finger for size.

The little men enjoying the yard inspite of the weather.

Finding strange things to amuse themselves.

Very strange, he used to be afraid of heights but seems to be overcoming that one.

And for Sunday morning we dressed up Nicely.

And had our morning coffee to keep us feeling Normal. :)
Actually that's his berry breakfast smoothie in a coffee cup. I did it that way for them a while back to help keep it from being so messy and now they don't like it any other way of course.

So we're just passed half way there, still enjoying it and finding it a challenge to keep working it in. No breaks aloud or we may just not get started again. :) On to O and lots of packing and painting.

The Goblins are out early...


We don't actually celebrate Halloween at our house but this picture just cracked me up. He was amusing himself with this broom the other day such was the result.

Bellyachin'

While I was busy this morning trying to catch up on our receipts from last month, Phi was being nice and quiet in the other room. Too quiet *warning sign but, I think, it can't be anything too bad. I finish my project and go out to see what he's up too. The diaper bag is on the table and he is sitting in the chair next to it with this gum pack in his hand and lots of empty little wrappers around him. Of course he quickly shoves it back in the pocket it belongs in when he sees Mom coming and thats where I find even more wrappers. Blaa! 7 pieces of gum, he ate them all!! So gross. I called Wrigley just to be sure there wasn't an over dose you could get from it. Nope just lots of nice minty smelling diapers and maybe a belly ache for a while.

Do you see something that doesn't belong??

I had left a bag of cans by the pantry door way and kept meaning to put them away but hadn't yet. I was baking and left the pantry door open and since Phi loves to pull the cans out of the bag ( and drop them on his toes) and the pantry is a fascination of his cause he's not usually aloud in there, he began putting them on the bottom shelf. I was encouraging him for being helpful, next thing I know I turn around and he's not there. "Phi"? I call and I hear "Eh"!? from the depths of the bottom shelf. So funny what these little minds think of.

"Is this where this can goes Mom??"


He got a hair cut with our new trimmer and looked so funny sitting under that huge cover.

All spiffy!
This was almost a month ago now and it's time for another one.
