Running Away

Yesterday afternoon Sean came down from his room packed up and ready to go. He took one of the cowboy neckerchiefs down from his room, wrapped up some pajamas, socks, his teddy bear and his superman toy. He also brought a blanket and pillow and declared "Mom, I need a big stick to tie my stuff too. I'm running away." He was so determined. I asked why and he said he was tired of his brothers picking on him and he had to go. Of course I was welcome to come with him because he still loved me, but he had to run away. It took some convincing to talk him out of running away, he said he would wait for summer so he didn't freeze at night. Poor picked on boy, he has the middle child syndrome. If Sam didn't pick Check Spellingon him so much he might do better but he is just gets his feelings hurt so easy and Sam loves to cause trouble. He must have seen a cartoon with someone with their belongings in a neckerchief tied to a stick because he imitated it perfectly.

Discovery Park Video

Fall Break

The boys are enjoying their school break. They were so excited to have almost a full week off of school. Poor Sean, I was getting him up for school last week - the boy does not do mornings- and as I'm sleep walking him into the bathroom he's asking where he has to go. So I tell him it's time to get ready for school. He gives me this horrified look and yells "AGAIN! I have to go everyday?!" Poor little boy, too bad I couldn't get him into afternoon kindergarden. Neither of us work well before noon, I can totally relate, I too hate getting up for school.
Yesterday we had a fun day at the Park. There is a great park out in Pleasant Grove by Daniel and Brittany that my boys love. It's called the Discovery Park. There are all sorts of neat things to do and educational play in this giant fort of a park. We took Brittany and Eve with us and had a good time. It was actually a warm day and we didn't freeze. Lovely warm fall day. Brittany and I both agreed it was a good thing Daniel didn't know about the park or he would spend hour there making Eve read all about the live cycles of trees and frog, and trying out all the science stuff when she just wanted to swing.
Actually all the kids loved the huge space shuttle. It's the huge wooden space ship, and there is a cock pit they can climb into and pretend to travel into space. They kept going back over and over to take off.
I'm going to try to upload a slide show of our pictures, I'll see if it works.
