Happy Labor (free) Day!!

Today has been a fun-filled, much-needed, all-family, all the time day!!! No fun day is complete without a jump on the trampoline with the sprinkler spraying up from underneath...making the trampoline super slick and turning our back yard into a gigantic mud pit!! My handsome boys.....or maybe I should say, my cute little HOGS!! Go Razorbacks!!

Even though its still 900 degrees and humid here in Louisiana, sometimes the water that comes out of the sprinkler can be shockingly cold!! I just love the expression I caught on Abram's face!

Here's Abram just hanging out and looking cute in the playhouse. Since he couldn't jump on the trampoline with the big boys, lest he be trampled, he enjoyed the mud pit the sprinkler created.

Although this picture is not from today, I had to include it. While eating supper on Friday night, Jonah came up with this. He said, "Look Mom, I'm a catfish!" I thought it was pretty creative.

All about Seth!!

Today was Seth's first day of preschool!! He informed us this morning that he was so excited he couldn't sleep last night. Funny, I remember looking in on him several times last night.......I don't recall him ever actually having any trouble sleeping. This is Seth's bee. He had lots to say about this when he climbed into the van during carpool. He informed us that the way you get into trouble in class is as follows:
1. Your first offense your bee flies out of the hive and lands on a yellow flower (Caution)
2. Your second offense your bee flies to the RED flower (This involves the dreaded trip to the preschool director's office and a note home to mom and dad!)
3. The BEST part of the class discipline chart is that each day a kid remains in the hive, they get a "special bean" as a reward (a.k.a. a skittle).
Seth proudly announced he got his "special bean" today.......we hope there will be lots of "special beans" in his future!!!
Jamey and Seth......a last hug before we said good-bye to him and left him to a fun-filled first day at preschool!!!
