Lunch

Today I opened the refrigerator and was inspired by a container of leftover brown rice from ordering in Chinese the other day. I made fried rice with ham, broccoli, onions, carrots, eggs - all yummy stuff... well at the last minute I drizzled in a few drops of chili sesame oil - well... mistake! Too much - too spicy for the boys. So (except for me - the fried rice was YUMMY!) honey sandwiches all around - chunky peanut butter with big bear honey (honey in a small bear or in a jar just won't do!). As Evan is eating his sandwich - he eats it into the shape of a boat. As he is rocking it back and forth he asks me - "Do you know whose boat this is?" I replied that I did not. He then informed me it was Noah's boat - who knew? The do listen and they do learn - good to know! (At least most of the time - ha!)

Evan has been doing great with his site words - he currently knows 16 - but not every single time. Yesterday and today both he is getting stuck on "it" and "is" with me. He knew them for Alex last night... he sounds them out perfectly... who knows? Each time he adds an additional five new works to his list he earns a minifigure - after every group of "x" amount then he can earn something bigger. Last night with Daddy and he was able to earn a new minifigure - he got the Lumberjack - so with that he started singing the Lumberjack song from one of the Monty Python songs - too funny! I guess Alex had shown it to him once - again - scary how they do retain things!

Owen has been super fussy lately - not sure what that is about - teething, sinus, allergies...

Tonight is soccer practice - only two more left!

Yesterday we received a note from Evan's teacher stating that they have noticed a pattern that he is sleepy and won't pay attention on Thursdays. She then asked if there was something we were doing on Wednesdays that could contribute to this. I guess that is the end of Wednesday nights at church for a while. I know Evan loves it - but it is something that will have to be put on hold for the moment.

Tomorrow is a big day - soccer game, corn maze/weenie roast, then dinner at Duckworth's to help raise money for Breast Cancer. Currently it is amazingly gorgeous out - the perfect fall day - hopefully that will be the case for tomorrow!

Avery is still resisting potty training - he is doing pretty well with the poopy part... but he continues to pee in his pants the majority of the time - we have tried bribing, putting him on the potty every 30 or 40 minutes, big boy underwear... NOTHING seems to work! Owen has also started... will see how that goes - our boys seem to take at least a year before they will do it.
