This morning Caleb and I were reading about Gladys Aylward and we were talking about orphans. I asked Caleb if he new what an orphan was. He said, "Not really, but I know that they sometimes help Santa!' What in the world??
This afternoon when I was cooking dinner, Levi came in and casually said, "Mom, Caleb needs you." I asked what he wanted and he said, "He is hanging off of the fort." I ran outside to see Caleb all but dangling by his fingernails from the roof of the swing set fort. I ran and climbed up in the fort, hung out the side, and got him down. I was just about to lecture him when I realized how scared he had been. I think that it will be a few days before he tries that again:)
I am happy to report that Valentine is doing well. She has been moved to the garage because no matter how many times I clean her cage...it just stinks! The kids were not happy with me and kept telling me that I was a heartless killer because she was surely going to have a heat stroke out there in the garage. I actually think she likes it because she is front row and center to all of the comings and goings.
She loves Levi and she loves her carrots and spinach!
I will post pictures later, but Aaron and Jackson have been playing football. Right now they are just conditioning and haven't started "playing", but they are really enjoying it. People are over-the-top-crazy about youth athletics these days. Right now they are practicing everyday except Sundays.
Tonight when Aaron got home he told me that his practice was "the worst" because some kid kept talking to him and getting him into trouble (yeah, uh huh...right) and then he was being silly and broke another kids mouth guard off of his helmet. I think that the apple has not fallen far from the tree and Aaron is a cut up and clown like his dear ol' dad. I sure am glad that he is not in school or I am sure that we would be getting quite a few calls and notes from the teacher! Christian's dad told me just the other day that they had to hold Christian back one year, not because he was behind...quite the contrary. He just couldn't quit pulling the girls' hair!
