Oh dear...

Tonight at dinner, Allen burped. No big deal - just reminded him to say "excuse me". Well, he got the giggles about it and burped again, louder. His daddy told him it wasn't funny. So he burped again, even louder. At this point his daddy informed him one more would land him in time out. Allen's response? "Fine - I will go in the playroom to burp and you stay in here and you can't hear me." Sassy little guy, isn't he?!
After dinner, he took his dishes to the sink and went off to play in the hall (we have miles of Lego train track set up in the dining room and hall right now...it's lovely!). He suddenly stood up and said "Oh - I forgot to go to the playroom and burp!" And took off! Oh dear do we ever have our hands full with that one!

Open House

Last night was Open House at the boys' preschool. Allen was so proud that it was his night too and not just for Drew! They each showed us around their classrooms, which were so cute! Allen's themes for the beginning of the year were apples, creation and family. Drew has been in full pirate mode in his class and the room definitely showed it! They had ice cream in the courtyard as well as information booths set up about the school year. There was a "cake walk" for the kids but the line was long and we didn't participate. Drew was very upset with us but once we explained that he probably would NOT get a cake, he seemed ok. (Of course I found out this morning that his friend Kenley DID win a cake...I'm going to be in trouble I'm sure!) We were there for a while since each age group had their rooms open at different times...the boys got a little antsy after their ice cream while we were waiting for Drew's turn so they ran races in the front yard of the church. It had rained that afternoon so they both ended up covered in mud all the way up their backs...yuck!

Bowling!

Last week, Drew went to his good buddy Tobi's birthday party...at a bowling ally...in Dave & Busters! He thought he was such big stuff! He had never bowled before (other than on Wii which I'm not sure is teaching him any of the basics of how to actually bowl!) and I was a little concerned about how it would go but with the invention of the automatic gutter bumpers and the rack that shoots the ball right down the lane...well, he had a good time!
