He had a ball!

We had a great time Wednesday morning with Bubbie and his mustache. He stood and stared into the mirror for a few seconds before nervously saying, "Mom, it's not a real mustache.......is it?" He's so funny.

Being a young man with a broad range of interests, he wanted a Davy Crockett cake and a spider man suit for his birthday. I'm afraid Davy kind of looks like he's wearing a Jedi robe, but once again, I delivered! He asks for the hardest cakes! In fact, when I showed him the finished product, he said, "But I wanted him on a horse shooting his gun!" Oh well, this is all I could come up with:

Spidey

This morning, Bub came and sat in the chair and said first thing, "Man, I loved that birthday!" I had let him and Seth "sleep together" last night (a treat on a week night for them) and he said, "Mama, me and Bubba had a ball last night. You know what's a ball? Bubba said a ball is when you do lots of fun things and don't get in trouble for it." I just love little boys!!

Shhhhhhhhhhhh!

My little Bubbie is turning 5 years old today. The poor little fella takes a lot of teasing from all of us. He's just that kind of child that is so fun to tease! We love him and have a lot of fun with him. This week, we've been telling him that his "4's" are almost over, and life will be different! 5 years is always a big deal in our home, because that means you no longer have to take a nap! Well, Bub asked me what he was getting for his birthday, and I said, "A razor and shaving cream, of course." I explained to him that now he would grow a beard and mustache and could shave just like Daddy! Poor soul isn't too sure if I'm joking or not. He told Seth, "If I do grow a mustache, I'll shave it and nobody will know." LOL

So, I just couldn't resist the urge to tiptoe into his room and paint a mustache on my little man. I'll let you know how he reacts. You'll probably suspect an earthquake around 8:30 this morning, but don't be afraid! It's probably just our Bubbie.

No time for blogging....

but we've been busy with lots of fun and family fellowship. Here are a few highlights from our Thanksgiving week:

Summer's first ponytail!!

Summer's first year helping decorate the tree. Her baby helps her do everything.

Our toothless coon hunters

Thanksgiving morning at our house means Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, sausage balls, and gingerbread houses. Fun!

We've been passing around a cold, but our little Rosebud was petted with lots of TLC through hers.

And last, but not least, our tadpole finally has front legs! We've been raising this tadpole since May! It's had its back legs for several months, but overnight just grew the front ones. Surely we'll have a frog soon!

Here's a video of the little ones jamming out to "White Christmas". Rosebud dances kind of like Chester on Gunsmoke!

Whew! I feel better now!

Needs a little more practice....

This afternoon, I was going over Scripture memory with the boys. If you had been a fly on my wall, this is what you would've heard:

MOM: "Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called,"

SETH: "Wonderful!"
BUBBIE: "Counselor!"
SETH: "The mighty God!"
BUBBIE" "The Everlasting Gobstopper!"
MOM: "STOP!!"

Piano Recital

I'm so proud of how well Caleb and Madelyn did in their piano recital yesterday. I praise the Lord for their musical talent, their desire to work hard, their great instructor, and their hearts that do it for the glory of God.

Here's a short clip from yesterday. They played 4 songs each. In the clip, Caleb plays "Square Dance" and Madelyn plays "Ragtime Man". They've been taking lessons for 13 months.

Here they are with their piano teacher

I Try Hard

.....really I do, but this child just refuses to act like a lady. Look at her hair!
