Selah on the Dance floor
Selah is NOT a wallflower! We went to Brad's cousin's wedding last weekend and as soon as the music started Selah was on the dance floor.

Luke's day out with Thomas
Luke was excited this weekend to go to a Day out with Thomas. This time he was not as impressed with all of the little kid stuff (although Selah was!) but really excited to actually ride the train. He had no interest in waiting in the long line for his picture with Thomas so ignore the actual family being photographed!
My camera battery died and I didn't bring an extra so Daddy saved the day and took pictures with his phone. The boys had their head out the window the whole ride watching everything go by.

Jack's first flag football game
Yesterday was Jack's first game, I think he asked me five times in the afternoon if it was time to go yet he was so excited.
In the huddle discussing plays.
He got to be quarterback for his first game! It was fun to watch him especially with his mouth guard in, he would hold it in his teeth out the side of his mouth in between plays.

Selah keeps things interesting!
For science today we made these spiral paper snakes that "wiggle" when the hot air rises under them. Jack gets it, Luke just likes to see it move and here is Selah's experience while they were coloring their snakes.
Selah - I am going to color my snake like a rainbow! What colors do I need Jack?
Jack - Just whatever your favorite colors are Se.
Selah - I am going to name my snake Wiggles, no Ashley, no, no, I am going to name my snake Sparkles!
no answer from the boys
Selah - Jack what are you going to name your snake?
Jack - I wasn't going to name it Selah
Selah - How about Wiggles?
Jack - Okay Se Wiggles, my snake's name is Wiggles
Selah - Can Sparkles and Wiggles be friends?
Jack - Sure Selah Sparkles and Wiggles can be friends.
Luke is still coloring in silence.
Then we hung them up in their rooms.
Selah - Over here Mom so I can look over from my bed and see it!
Then after going to check the boys' out and approving the spots they chose...
Selah - Luke what are you going to name your snake? Luke? Luke? (he is already downstairs so now she is yelling) Luke, what are you going to name your snake?
Luke - (yelling up to her) Thomas!
It seemed a lot like the way Brad and I are naming this baby!

Letter boxing
Yesterday for a field trip we met Miss Laura and her kids to go letter boxing. It's like a scavenger hunt for a box (or jar) someone has hidden somewhere and left clues for. We had clues for two different boxes at Brown's woods so we set out with all of the kids on a hike into the forest.
Laura brought a sheet with animal tracks to identify. Jack found lots of raccoon and maybe a mink?
There were lots of streams to explore and get muddy in.
And to completely fall into, they were all such a mess by the end of the day, especially Boaz but he could not have been happier about it.

What we have been loving about the new house
This first week of school has been busy but we have been able to get done by noon and get outside.
I realized doing their albums that I didn't have a picture of the kids in front of the house. The hydrangea that is left after Brad hacked half of it down is blooming and it is really pretty, it still needs more trimming once it's done. We also have a ridiculous amount of hostas along the front that are in full bloom right now too. Would you believe Brad has already done a ton of trimming here?
Along with all of the blooms we have tons of bees, the kids have started catching them using Brad's old pop bottles which the bees happily fly into unknowing that they will soon be trapped!
Jack showed Luke how to make a bee house with multiple bottles, I love how in this picture Luke is concerned with the bees but Selah is concerned about smiling for the camera.
Luke and his bee house.
They love the setum too (the bees I mean).
Can you see how many are in this picture? It's like shooting fish in a barrel!
