The weekend

 Friday was hat day for Isaac.  He wore it for the initial call and immediately took it off.

Friday Isaac didn't quite finish teeth and pajamas before reading bedtime books, so he did them afterwards.  (This isn't all that uncommon.)  As Joshua and I were heading to the basement Isaac said, "but I'm going to be lonely!"  "Right now?" I asked.  "Yes."  I think I rolled my eyes.

One of the shepherd activities was dressing up as shepherds and finding stuffed animals.  They let me put the towels on for a picture, but didn't really want to and took them off quickly.

Isaac hit the jackpot with his advent calendar!

The next day he hit the anti-jackpot.

Today we made graham cracker houses.  Well, Ben ended up making a graham cracker hospital.

Thursday

 The shepard is still nicely helping the boys find all the animals.

 

Joshua was going to make a sandal for people on Golden Snake's team.  This was just a prototype.  He quickly found it didn't work well.  (I'm not sure why he was making these.  I'm not sure about a lot of things.)

I was attacked by both boys after nap by Lego items.  I told them to look into my eyes so that I could hypnotize them since I'm on the snake's team.  Joshua fell for it for a moment and then realized that I couldn't hypnotize him.

Wednesday: CAH, date

We packed a box for Community Action House today.  I expect that donating money would be more effective, but this way the boys get to participate.  They have to look through all the groceries and find the items from the list.

 
We had a small date night tonight.  It was definitely a 2020 date, but nice all the same.  I dropped the boys off with my parents and picked up the food.  While I was doing that Ben surprised me by getting the table ready along with some decorations. :)  I especially enjoyed his clothing choice. :D

Tuesday

 The sheep escaped outside last night!  At least there was a Shepard to help the boys find them.

Joshua has decided that his Lego set from this season should watch all the Ninjago episodes. He came out well before dinner (and was put away afterwards!)

In other news, it was a disjointed day.  Laptops weren't working well.  The children needed more help than normal.  I had a hard time getting anything done, although things did get done.  They also decided to put a Lego train track on the stairs.  It seems like a bad plan, but we're going with it.  The train isn't strong enough to climb the stairs though, so they're doing ...something else.

Monday

 We take a picture for Cheryl every day, and sometimes it tends to be the only picture of the day.

Nothing else interesting happened.  As normal.

 

Saturday: God

 We had promotions today.  Joshua is now a green stripe ninja and Isaac and I are red with yellow stripe.  However, the school is leaving their parent company so that might change.  (I don't think the move will effect us too much, and probably only for the better in the things that do change.)

Joshua: Hey Isaac, I know how God got created!
Isaac: How.
Joshua: I'll tell everyone after praying.  I figured it out as a six-year-old while going poop.  It's crazy!  As a six-year--old!
Fast forward to after prayer time.
Joshua: God was born!
Amanda: Who was his mom?
Joshua: uh, he was just born!
