Tic Tacs and Tuckered Out

I took Caleb to Publix to spend a dollar that was burning a hole in his pocket. He was so cute! He held his dollar in his hand and marched right over to the Tic Tacs in the checkout line. Levi and Caleb are both obsessed with tic tacs, and he obviously had decided he would spend his dollar on them way before we entered the store. He looked at the orange ones and then he looked at the green ones. He finally decided on the assorted orange and green ones. The checkout girl asked him his name and was very patient as she talked him through paying for his purchase. I just stood back and let him do it himself. She counted out his change and he was so proud that he did it all alone!

This morning, most of the tic tacs were gone. Christian said, "Word of advice...if Caleb offers you a tic tac, don't pick a white one." When I asked why he said, "Because those are the ones he sucked the color off of and then put back in the box!"

I have no idea why he was holding up his fingers like this. When we had Japanese and Korean students staying with us, they always did this in pictures. A friend of mine told me that her son who is about Caleb's age said that was how you say "cheese!" in their language when having your picture taken:)

We enjoyed a few cooler days last week. We did a little bit of school and then headed to the park with some friends to spend the afternoon. Sarah did not get a nap and this is what happened at dinner....

She sleeps with her eyes open a bit...it is so wierd!

Then the inevitable happened.

The brothers started picking.....

She slept through the whole torture session.
She was absolutely filthy, but I wiped her down the best I could and then put her to bed for the night.

Little girl hair is so hard to deal with. It is always messy! When the boys get any length on their hair, they just get a cut out in the driveway. Sarah's hair is ALWAYS in her eyes. Christian has become quite resourceful about finding ways to keep her hair out of her food when eating...
