It’s been quiet around here lately. Well, quiet on the blog at least. The house has been filled with the ear spliting sounds of two little boys plotting to drive their mother to the mad house. Another day in paradise.

We honestly haven’t been doing much around here lately. We did some water painting yesterday, colored today. There are plans to go play with the cousins later this evening, maybe make a fireman puppet tomorrow.

I’ve got Halloween costumes ready to go. E will be a scarecrow while A will be a pumpkin. Yes, I have no sense of originality. Just wait, when they’re older I’ll dress them up as poison tree frogs and Q-tips. For now I’ll play it safe with easy to find and easy to wear costumes.

Learning lactation

I’m blessed that the training for the counselor job is done by a woman with 5 kids. Her exact words were “I’m a mom too, just load them up and bring ‘em.” So the boys have had the privledge of joining me at the training courses. Tomorrow is the last day then I’ll be back to the at home business. I’m sure E’s future wife will be screened on her opinion of breastfeeding as he’s been soaking in all the info we’re going over.

Today, after we learned ways to help a new mom feed with a doll E carted the doll off and preceedes to nurse said doll on the couch. He only returned the doll when it was apparently crying and needed to burp. Quite the imaginatioin that kid has. Good thing I love him so. *grins*

Pretty fall leaves

We were going to make a collage with real leaves but it was cloudy and cold all day so I dared not take the boys out in it. No paints for apple painting like I had hoped, maybe later this week I can sweett alk Dearest into getting us some. But E was happy doing this, watching as I drew and cut out the leaves was quite entertaining to him. He knealed next to the table and watched with such concentration, squaling with glee when he could recognise each as a leaf.

I found a cute poem on the web that I copied onto the paper, but of course my mommy brain forgot to write down who the author is. Still it’s cute and was a fun project to do on a cold, windy day. I think tomorrow we’ll take it over to my in-law’s house to hang on the fridge with all the various projects of the other grandchild. So what if it wasn’t done in a classroom with a teacher, he still put his heart into it.

The poem reads:

Red leaves, gold leaves
Dancing, swaying
Happily playing
Brightly, lightly,
Kissed by the Autumn breeze

Winds blow, leaves go
Spinning and swirling
Twisting and twirling
Flitter, flutter
Down to the ground they float.
