What used to be a random blog posting and a "filler" during slow times has now become the norm. And I really like some of the pics I get with my camera phone...it is real Life. In real time. And since I nearly always have my cell phone with me it doubles as a candid camera. So, since our life has been so busy lately I have had very little time to pull out the ol' camera. And even less time to blog about it. Therefore this blog is completely pictures off my phone...
Some friends of ours from church offered Keagan their son's 4-wheeler, which he outgrew. Keagan LOVES it! And of course Finley wants to ride. He's too little right now...but when we were at a friend's house lately they had a miniature (pink!) 4-wheeler. And Finn took to that like white on rice! Check out the video! (and, shhhh, don't tell Finn, but we got him a boy version of this for Christmas!)
Summer time has come to an end, and in my opinion full-blown winter is already here. I hate being cold, and haven't walked in almost a week because it has been cold. One day in early fall/late summer while I was walking with the boys I was hit with an overwhelming sense of being blessed. It was a gorgeous day, the kids were being sweet, I felt good. It was one of those "Thank You Lord" days. So I snapped a picture of the blessings I was surrounded by. And then on our last walk, the boys were giggling and loving each other (rare these days) so I took some video of them. You may not want to watch as much as listen, the video is super-shaky since I was walking! It might make you motion-sick.
Finn is obsessed with putting on hats, sunglasses, shoes, etc. He also does a lot of pretend play (which I didn't notice so much with Keagan at this age)...for instance he pretend-eats the food in the play kitchen, pretend-applies toothpaste to a toothbrush, pretend-clips his toenails. It's really funny! Anyways, I think he just wants to be big...and I caught him trying to put on this headlamp (correctly!) so I helped him out. This was the result. Pretty happy.
Keagan was a Duck Dynasty guy (Willie?) for Awana back in September, complete with duck call. Which he blew throughout the events. And half-scared everyone in his class. Note to self: 3 year old + duck call + church = not the smartest idea.
Finn helping me to get some mums and chairs at Lowes one day after church...
Keagan and I had a date to Dairy Queen, just us, one Friday afternoon. Keagan had been having some difficult behavior at school and home and I felt like we needed some time together, without Bubby. Sweet Keagan was a little disappointed that we didn't take Finn with us when we left school. He wanted to go get him! But once we got our ice cream he quickly forgot!
A rare moment where they are playing "together" and no one is screaming...
Not sure where brother was but he wasn't home (shooting with daddy?) and so Finn took the liberty to sit in his Bubba's chair...and he was quite proud of himself!
Back to the idea that Finn likes to play pretend...once he got this mask on, with my assistance, he was in stealth mode. It was really funny to watch and I really think he thought he was someone/thing else! Wish I would have video'd him because he was a riot!
Knowing our comfy-outdoor temps were coming to an end, the boys and I picnicked on the patio one day after church. This picture makes them look like they are being sweet, sitting and eating like good boys. This lasted maybe 30 seconds. Not even joking. I ended up having them sit on the ground with their plates, separated from each other! Will try again in the spring...
What cookies?
Happy about walking! And a MAJOR hunk!
A few nights ago Josh and Keagan were talking about whether they should go deer or squirrel hunting. Well, Keagan emphatically said deer hunting. We weren't sure if he knew what Josh was talking about, so we talked a bunch about it. I video'd this because his facial expressions and excitement were wonderful! Unfortunately I didn't get the best part on video: Keagan told me that I couldn't go hunting with him and Daddy because, and I quote, "You're a Girl, Mommy."
Well, the boys ended up going deer hunting the other day. They didn't kill any because they only saw does and no "big daddy deer." But Keagan was apparently a good boy for the, oh, 4 hours they hunted! And Josh sent me this picture of them...
So Finn and I tried to take a picture to send to daddy while he and Keagan were in the deer stand. Finn put on the charm in the first picture...then did his classic point in the second picture. I describe the way he points as a kid who has been reprimanded for pointing, so he points with his fist instead of his finger!
Babies in a box. I have had multiple requests for these particular products. The brown headed one is likely the easier of the two, but more shipping due to length. The strawberry-blonde is a little lighter and shorter so shipping will be less, but he comes with a warning!
Hilarious!!!
