Howdy!

Time for an update, has it already been a week?


I'll get to the most tragic news first.   Well not too tragic.  Jack split his head open tonight.  We have seen our fair share of head wounds in this family but it has been a while since the last one.  Jack and Max were doing Karate moves as they bounced all around the living room and  Jack's head made contact with the entertainment center.  Max and Jack both started to panic when they saw handfuls of blood.  Thankfully Mer was around to help settle down max because it is a little difficult to try to reassure to hysterical kids while applying pressure to a head wound. 


Not a great picture, but he got 3 staples to the head.  Staples are new to us.

We had a bit of illness in the family this week.  Max and Jack both missed a couple of days of school.  It was a cold virus I suppose.  It was one of those illnesses where they sounded too sick to send them to school but they felt too well to keep them home.   


And so you don't think they watched TV all day long here is proof that we squeezed a little academics in.


I think it's worth noting that at one point this week I had all the laundry in the house clean and put away.  There was not one article of dirty clothing to be found.  I really don't think I have ever accomplished this, so I thought it was worth noting.  It's safe to say that laundry is my weakest housekeeping skill.

Luke has spent most of the week dressed up as a cowboy.  This is his hide out.


  He even persuaded me to dress up like an Indian in part of Max's old Shaka Zulu costume.  We have spent a lot of time playing hide and seek and shooting each other, making campfires, camping under the stars, roping cattle, and saying Howdy.


It sure is fun hanging out with this kid all day. 


Now good night y'all!

Second - where is the picture of you dressed up?
