We were driving home from the gym today and Isaac exclaimed, "I just saw a giant bobbin! It was huge!" We were a little confused at first until we realized he probably saw a spool of wire; they're about to do a bunch of construction and materials are all over. I was rather proud that he called it a bobbin.
Joshua enjoys dancing. So much more than Isaac ever did. He'll turn on music from some toy, dance (usually spin in circles) until the music is done, turn the music back on...

Friday: siblings
I think Joshua likes it too. He loves his big brother and will often notice if he's not there when he should be.

Thursday: happy spring break!
Spring break is here!
I was actually surprisingly productive at work today. I had been expecting to grade all of the current lab next week on my work days, but instead I finished 2/3 of them. Woot-woot!
Class was a bit sparse. Probably only 2/3 of the people showed up. But the topic was pretty easv, so it worked well.
We got home and I gave the boys some goldfish. Joshua proceeded to do this...three or four goldfish in every plate. I admit...I don't wash dishes that have come out of the drawer. They go right back in. These probably will too, because by the time I find them the goldfish dust will be gone and they'll be in someone's bedroom.
Joshua saw I had the camera out, so obviously he laid on the floor for some pictures. He is wearing green today! He has one very green sock and one sock with just a little green. That was all the green I could find for him.
Puppy Dog, on the other hand, was a little worried that he was going to get pinched by Silly Willie since he didn't have green pants on. I said that green socks and a green shirt were enough to not get pinched. (And I was a little sad that he learned about the pinching thing, probably in school. However, apparently only Silly Willie does it, so Isaac didn't pinch Ben this evening.)

Wednesday: pool
We were invited to the pool again today with Betsy and her family. The kids got cold a little faster than I was hoping, but we still had a good time at the pool and then we had enough time to have lunch together! So it worked well.

Monday: hobbies
One of the things I like about quilting is that it is semi-difficult for the kids to hurt my supplies. Today we got a backing. Isaac loved it because it was black. It ended up in the basement...
We also had a bunch of circles in bowls for dinner in celebration of Pi day.
The bad part of the day was there seemed to be extra "Joshua's touching me!" and "Joshua hit me, but it doesn't hurt!" and "I want to play with you" [in a whiney voice] and "I'm hungry". I finally yelled and them and told them to stay apart or deal with each other because I didn't want to deal with it. I was apologizing to Isaac later and he said, "It didn't hurt my ears." "Did it hurt your feelings?" "Yeah, my headache is almost gone." So...it doesn't seem as though it phased him. Phew. Except that I still don't know what to do about it.

Sunday: life group
We had our Bible Study today. It was nice to get together. It was nice to discuss the book we're reading, Overrated. The book makes me think and it's interesting to see how it makes others think too.
