ONE LONG WEEK!

Aman has been sick all week.  He is having issues with kidney stones.  Today it has been a whole week of him in pain.  He lost 18 pounds is just starting to eat regularly again.  Needless to say it is getting stressful around here.  Saturday his brother is getting married and I hope he passes this stone by then or it might be hard for him to enjoy.

The kids had parent teacher conference yesterday.  Both boys are doing really well.  Adam needs to work on not running in the classroom.  David is needs to work on math and his writing.




Anyway I got away Thursday and went with my Mom to Beef and Boards.  It was a pretty good time.  Got to see The Church Basement Ladies.

Adam turned 6!!!  Adam wanted a angry bird party.  He helped me make him a devils food chocolate cake with chocolate icing.  He is a very good helper.  

Adam loves the purple angry bird space bird.

So I made him one.

  

Adam had friends come over and join in the fun.  Cannan is in the brown jacket and Bryce is in the camo.  

Adam got lots of goodies.

Including Teenage mutant ninja turtles.

We just got home from Bumpus Reunion 2012.  It was a good time. There were 4 wheelers everywhere.  :)  

Chef Adam and Artist David

Aunt Jill likes to sew.  She made Adam his own chef hat and apron.  She also made David a creative apron. They really love them.  I put the video of them opening the packages on here so Jill can watch.  I couldn't email the video it was too big.  

Funny Boys

Yesterday the boys and I were cleaning the house.  All of the sudden this guy named Bob showed up.  

He looked very familiar.  I asked him to help clean the living room but he said he didn't live here.  Bob left and Adam showed up.  He asked who I was talking to.  I said well he said he was Bob.  Adam started laughing and said oh okay.  We finished cleaning the house and went to play at a friends house.  


Later after we got home we were making supper and Bob showed up again.  This time he looked a little different.  

I told Bob he would have to leave that it was supper time and his family would wonder where he was.  All of the sudden Bob started laughing.  He said goodbye and left.  

Next thing you knew David came running in laughing.  

I hope Bob made it home safe.

Helping Grandma Reta

When I was little one of my favorite things was helping Grandma Reta.  Before Memorial Day Grandpa Richard and Grandma Reta would make sure the flags were put out at the Walnut Prairie Cemetery.  My siblings and I helped with putting them out and bringing them in.  I don't know if we did it all the time.  But I know I remember doing it with Grandma Reta.
So this year when it came time to bring them in Grandma called and asked if Adam, David and I would like to help her.  So we all loaded up in Grandma's Jeep and went over to church.  Grandma explained to Adam what to do he took off running.  David was helpful but not nearly as excited about the job.

David's egg journal

David's class had eggs in a incubator.  They did a journal about it all. Thought I would share one of the entries. It really cracked me up.
