Labor Day Picnic

(I said I was behind, didn't I!!???!)

Over Labor Day weekend, we went to a picnic in Pilot Grove. The boys had a blast.

Watching the turtle race with daddy and cousin Tori.

Trying to ring a duck

Bounce House!!! (When Noah was John's age, he wanted nothing to do with a bounce house. John can't get enough.)

Practicing pitching.

Back to the turtle race with Daddy.

Checking out the turtles.

Deep Questions, by Noah

"What's God's phone number?"

"How did everyone fit in God's tummy?"

"Who made God?"

You Never Know What He'll Say (or Do)

The boys were playing with my old Fisher-Price farm and house. Noah started having a fit because there was a fly flying around him. Then he was hollering because it landed on the house. I walked around the corner to see John lean over and pick up the fly.

One night, we were eating casserole for dinner. (Noah calls it casseroyal.) I thought he asked if casseroyal would make him sick. I said no, casserole won't make you sick. He said "No, CASTOR OIL!"

We were driving down the road and Noah says, "I just saw a sign that said watch out for 'Ts'."

Every time we sit down to eat, John asks for a napkin. The first time I gave him one, he kept wiping the back of his head with it.

Noah accidentally pinched John's fingers in the door. The next day, we were playing and Noah said, "I am so sorry for pinching John's finger in the door."

John's favorite thing to do is hit Greg or I as he yells "Owe!"

Last week, John wasn't feeling very well. We were playing and Noah said, "Did you already pray for John to feel better?"

I put a pillow I'd unpacked on the sofa. Noah walked in and said "Oh my goodness! It's so beautiful!"

John's favorite thing to say is "I need that!" (It comes out "I need nat!")

Every time there is mention of someone going potty, John pipes up and says, "I need to go potty." (Unfortunately, if I try to put him on the potty, he has a fit."

We were eating lunch and Noah asked if I remembered that white stuff with the grapes cut up in it. After some questions and confusion, I asked if he meant chicken salad. He said, "Yes. That was bad!"

When the boys are talking to MiMi, they always want to call Poppy instead so they can see him (FaceTime).

Miscellaneous Pictures

Turns out I am little further behind on the blogging than I thought... So, here is a little something to catch up.

Jumping around

Watching a movie with Beckley

Noah got a golf glove several months ago. He now carries it around everywhere (still). We caught him sleeping in it the first week. We had to go in and take it off of him every night so his hand wouldn't get too sweaty.

Sleeping with Hippo and Honker

Wheeeeeeeee!

On the scouter

Riding a bike

Just playing outside

Riding the cars

Two seconds after I took the picture, John lost it. They had to stop the ride.

Riding the shuttle at the State Fair. I told Noah to hold on to Grandma. He had a death grip on her pants.

Getting a caricature at the Fair

Checking things out

Riding the mowers in Lowe's.

Finally! My turn!

Feeding himself.

Check out this hair!

Our friend Paul (who was so kind to let us stay in his house over the summer) likes to write all his checks himself. We were laughing. Just before this picture, he was sitting on the couch by the boys writing checks and both boys were playing on the iPads.
