Busy, Busy Bees

We have been busy bees this weekend, or rather busy Little Lambs! :)  We joined Zachary into Little Lambs this year for Adventurers at church, and this was the family campout weekend. We also had the very first soccer game, AND a birthday party today! :) We'll post all about it next weekend, but that's the reason for the late post.  With exhaustion reigning, this will be a short post with just some random pictures from the last few weeks! :)

The boys have a tradition when they get out of the shower on Sabbath that they MUST lay on their towel beds (two towels please mommy!!)  They usually end up wrapped like little burritos before it's all said and done as well.

Amy has become a serious coupon addict (it began when Karis complained that we spent too much on groceries, so she took the job of grocery shopping back and began to seriously work on reducing the cost - which we have successfully reduced the cost by at least $40-$50 per week from what we used to spend, and we have a lot more to show for it!).  Anyway, she stock-piled up on a bunch of cereal that we eat int his picture.  Our house isn't great on the storage space, so we became creative and used what SHOULD be the TV cabinet in our office to store it!  We don't have a TV there because we just don't watch enough TV to make it worthwhile, but it is a great place to store diapers and cereal! :))

The boys discovered the great fun of dragging the leather ottomans over to the couch and using them as launching pads - here you can see Zachary flying through the air.  Kaleb was not far behind, although he usually manages to just clear the arm of the couch at this point.

Phrase of the week:  "How many T's is it, Mommy?"  Zachary figured out that his clothes sizes usually have a T in them, such as 4T (although somewhere around 5, they drop the T and it just becomes the number itself).  So now Zachary will ask How many T's is it for clothes and for his shoes (which the T doesn't apply for shoes, but it is too cute to correct!).  Kaleb's word is "Fun!" - he loves to tell you the things that he thinks are "fun!" - and it can range from pointing at Miss Jennifer's (babysitter) van where lots of fun things happen to using it as a way of convincing you that he should be allowed to do whatever activity is next on the docket.  He is very convicted about "fun" activities, and truthfully he has never called anything fun that really wasn't, so he definitely gets it! :)
