We had a fun weekend. Konnor had his Pumpkin Walk at school on Friday evening - it's like a mini carnival where the kids can eat, run around and play games, and this year they were also able to wear their costumes! YAY!!!
Saturday we visited the pumpkin patch, picked out pumpkins, watched the tractor load huge cases of pumpkins onto a truck - in awe - as if they have never seen a tractor OR a truck (thank goodness we are off to Grandpa and Grandma's in a week!), and then we carved the pumpkins, painted them, and had a movie and popcorn night.
Sunday we attempted church, although as the boys were sitting all nice and perfectly for 35 minutes, some lady behind us decided to hand us TWO, yes, only TWO pictures and 3 crayons. Well, if any of you know Quinn, he was NOT going to accept not having one...so he went in to fight the other two, who were already fighting over who got the witch picture and who got the completely BOYISH pirate, skeleton one. As I leaned over to grab them away, Hunter decided to backhand Konnor in the face, Quinn was screaming "want some" and Konnor began to cry. Needless to say, we were as far from the door as possible so I had to grab the diaper bag, carry Quinn, tug along Hunter who is crying over the picture issue, and Konnor who is also still somewhat crying b/c Hunter smacked him good, all the way through the church - I was embarrassed to say the least - and have not the slightest clue how what seemed to be a wonderful message from Pastor Linn, ended!
Fortunate for the boys, Garret and Owen are in town with their Mom - so we had already had plans to meet them at the train park, so of course, they were plans that I couldn't take away from them for the wonderful behavior they modeled in church. They made up for it by running around the park for nearly FOUR hours - playing with Garret and Owen as if they were best friends forever! It was so much fun to watch them play - at one point, Garret and Konnor got ahold of their Mommy's cameras and they spent a good 20 minutes being kid photographers taking pictures of everything from the play structure, to their brothers, to the "butts" of the whales and dolphins on the splash pad! I will post those when I get them uploaded for sure!
For now, here is Quinn, who we all believe to be so "innocent" being NOT so innocent! What is it with 1 year old boys and toilets? Or for that matter, 3 and 5 year old boys and BUTTS! My title for the day says it all....The Joys of BOYS!!!!
