Whoa, have I really gone almost a week without posting???

We had our first relaxing weekend in ages! A chance to catch up on sleep, housework, yardwork and family time. For the first time since Matthew's arrival, I did a little work on the Buzz Lightyear costume, although I must admit that I bought the gloves and a "jetpack." Just a few more finishing touches and then it is on to Matthew's costume!

On Saturday, we went to a local "Harvest Moon Festival." Somehow, it is hard to get into s'mores and pumpkin painting when it is 80 degrees at 8pm! Cameron gave it his all though.Sunday, we went to church where the choir sang a hymn with verses such as "Lord, make me more faithful," and "Lord, make me more righteous." I'm pretty sure this is awful of me, but I all I could think of was how funny it would be if there was a verse "Lord, make me more smarter." Get it? More smarter?

Another big event was Cameron's birthday! He had asked (repeatedly) for the Black Spiderman action figure and was ecstatic when he opened it. I am ecstatic that, although Black Spiderman was an exciting gift, the bamboo Creata building set I got him has gotten more play time!And here are my boys in a photo series depicting how boys really are. "Look how peaceful we are! Quiet. Serene. Perhaps we shall fall asleep right here." "Agggghhhhhh! Let's roll and scream and wave our arms like we're being attacked by fire ants!"
