This morning the boys and I went to Story Time at our local library. The boys had so much fun, although Jacob was a little shy about participating. There was a puppet show, and a movie, singing, and several books all about crocodiles. At the end there was craft time, and the boys made crocodile hats.
The boys are already asking to go again next week!
The outing was my first chance to test drive our new double stroller. We have had several of the tandem double strollers before. The first one fell apart, and the second was nearly impossible to steer and push, and eventually became unusable. We finally decided it was time to make an investment in a better stroller, and we decided on one that is a totally different style, with the two boys sitting side by side. It is a jogging stroller, and I found it to be much easier to maneuver.
This afternoon I have been making calling cards. They are sort of like business cards except with our personal information on them. I thought that would be nicer to have on hand, rather than scribbling down our phone number on a scrap piece of paper. :)
Well, I am off to finish marinating the London broil for dinner, and then upstairs to work on my closet.
With Love,

About Me
My Family
The inspiration behind everything that I do, my family is so precious to me!
Rick
Our Leader, Protecter, and Provider, my wonderful husband is the most amazing man I have ever met. He is a loving example to our boys of just what a husband should be.
Melly Elizabeth
Wife, Mommy and Homemaker...these are the labels that describe what I do. I couldn't imagine wanting to be anything other than these things. I love being here in my home, taking care of my family and creating a warm and comfortable place for my husband to come home to each day.
Jacob
Intellegent, charming, and witty, Jacob keeps life interesting around our house. Always full of questions and insight, he is never short of words! He relishes his role as "oldest brother" and loves to be my helper.
Joshua
The "Bear". Energetic, rambunctious, and full of all things "boy", Joshua is our little wild bear! He is also one of the sweetest people that I have ever met. Full of hugs and kisses, it is amazing to see the contrast between his rough and tumble ways and his gentle kindness.
Joseph
Joseph is such a joy! His smile lights up the room, and his playful expressions can't help but be endearing. He finds humor in nearly everything. He looks up to his older brothers and tries to keep up with them at every turn.
James
James is my adorable, precious, rambunctious little one! Always eager to be a helper, highly affectionate, and a perfectionist like his Mama, he's the sunshine of my day!
John David
Our newest little addition, John David is such a blessing! He already looks up to his brothers, and seems to be in a hurry to join in their fun. We love him so much, and thank God for sending this darling child into our lives!
Did you just happen to have sponges on hand to occupy the boys or was that part of the library reading?
ReplyDeleteLOL. They had sponges with what looked like maybe sandpaper attached to them, and when you clapped them together it made a sound. They used those as part of an interactive story. The theme of the day was crocodiles, and in the story they would have the children slap the blocks together to make the "snap" of the crocodile's mouth.
