Bits of Advice and More....
Have you ever noticed that they seem to put up Christmas decorations and things earlier every year? I was doing some shopping this weekend and I saw more than one Christmas display! I haven't even got the kid's Halloween costumes yet!
Miss Bailey has sort of passed TWO more milestones: She's rolled over from her back to her belly twice, and she's had one laughing episode. Now, I have to be honest in saying that I didn't really see her roll over the first time.....I just looked down, and there she was on her tummy! The laughing episode came after getting her diaper changed. The girl loves diaper changing time!! I guess I would like it too, if it meant that I wouldn't have wet pants anymore :) Anyway, I started talking to her, and next thing I know she was in hysterics. I'm thinking about taking my act on the road........
Kale learned about fire safety this week at school. He came home with all sorts of useful information in case of a fire: get out fast, don't stop for your toys because mom can buy you new ones, stay outside, call 911, and my personal favorite........
"If your house is on fire, you can't have a party because your cake will get burned." Put that one in your file just in case you were thinking about throwing a party while your house is on fire! He has also become very concerned about what would happen if a tornado went into a fire. I'm usually pretty quick with come-backs for him, but we resorted to calling Grandpa Ballard to ask him because I couldn't come up with a response! Grandpa said that the tornado would probably blow the fire out. I'm not sure that's scientific fact, but it seemed good enough for Kale.
Kale has also decided on his Halloween costume: a KU basketball player. This is after being "Jake Sharp" the football player last year. I thought about trying to sway him in another direction (you know, something a little more creative), but then I realized that I won't have to buy anything for the costume, and that's just fine by me!
Dain's football team has continued to win games. He was actually sick this week with strep throat (again). The doctor told him that the combination of working in a very large office building, having two kids in daycare, and coaching a little league football team was like inviting germs into his life. I told him to toughen up :) I recently uncovered a new talent at our "Read Night" at school: face painting! I can do flowers, smiley faces, hearts and "KU" like no body's business. Beyond that, I'm really awful. I think I'm going to practice before next year if anyone wants to volunteer their face.........
Hope your week is everything you want it to be! God Bless you all.
