Silly Mommy tried to sleep again!

It was a great day for a nap today and when I dozed off Isaiah got up and took the container of brown sugar and hid behind the chair. I found him eating it with a spoon. He should only be wired for a few hours, right?

Rainy Day Celebration

After one of the worst droughts in recent years, we finally got some rain... and boy did it rain, and rain, and rain!!! When we said the kids prayers at night we always asked God for rain and we said that we would dance in it when it came. Well, Mommy held to her word and it was a blast!

Halloween Fun

Here's a video of the kids doing a little song they learned at story time at the library last week. It's so cute! We don't make a habit of teaching the kids witchcraft! The lady was just trying to do some Halloween songs.

A Trip to the Fire Station

My sister-in-law arranged for us to take a trip to the local fire station last week. It was great. After a tour through the inside of the fire station the kids got to climb in the trucks and even hear the siren and see the lights. We learned that the new ladder truck they got a couple years ago cost $360,000!!! Cut the truck in half and it would more than pay for MY HOUSE!!! But I sure am thankful for our brave firemen. We had a scare a little too close to home a couple weeks ago. We're in a terrible drought and apparently someone threw a cigarette out their window at the end of our street and it started a brush fire. The entire corner at the end of our street was on fire! We're out in farm country so I was very impressed when several different area trucks showed up and got it under control. It could have been a very bad situation! THANK YOU FIREMEN!!! Anyway, my parents got Isaiah this fireman's suit last year for Christmas so I thought it was the perfect opportunity to wear it and get the kids excited about our trip. You'll notice that Isaiah combined the fireman's suit with cowboy boots for an unforgettable look. He sure thought he was "the man". He's definiately my little hero.
