Tuesday: Joshua

Today after school we went to the library to make light-up robot LED cards.  For some reason Joshua got it in his head that he really wanted to give his card to Mr. Rob, one of the librarians.  Ok, that's fine.

Joshua was so excited to give it to him.  We wrote a letter inside: "Mr. Rob, S. T. I.  Joshua"  Ok, we wrote several letters inside.  Those are the ones Joshua chose. :D

This evening after bed time I was called back upstairs.  "Mom!  I need help with my zipper.  I can't get it up to my shirt."  (He was wearing footy pajamas.  An odd description, but understandable.)  "Why is it down?" I asked.  "I needed to feel the tag," he responded.

This kid loves his sateen tags.  They are the substitute lovey.  He finds them in every shirt he wears, sometimes in his pants, and he was very excited to find one in his coat pocket.  I guess it makes sense to unzip your pjs to verify that it's there.

Sunday: matching

The pictures are terrible, but Joshua wasn't into it.  Anyway, they were both wearing green pants and the same jacket.

Friday: long day

Today was a long day.  The Joshua was good and nothing went poorly, but it was just long.  I was ready for the kids' bedtime at about 9am. 

Thursday: snow

Today was the first official day of snow.  We had a lot of hail a few weeks ago and I wondered if some of it was snow, but I think the temperature was too high.  Today it was quite a bit colder.  It was at the same time as I was picking Isaac up, and so we got to enjoy it together.

Wednesday: raking

We raked today after Isaac got home.  The kids enjoyed playing in the leaves for quite a while.  

...I hope that the yard waste people are still picking up yard waste for a while.  Our leaves just started dropping, which is a bit late, and our neighbors have some maples that always seem to drop about a month after everything else is done. 

Tuesday: tired

I'm tired.

I do have this cute picture from yesterday.  It was the first time I let Joshua ride in the back of the cart and he was rather thrilled.

Sunday: a first

Joshua put his socks on for the first time.
