Yesterday we found some bunk beds, and it truely was just in the nick of time. We will set them up in the next few days, because today Truman figured out how to maneuver his body over and down the side of the crib. He has done it a few times today. To watch him, he has pretty good balance, and knows how to shift his weight…I only hope he doesn’t land on his head….

We bought a new slip and slide, my mom came down to watch my kids while I went to a Dr.’s Appointment. While I was gone Tucker broke in the slip and Slide, although he didn’t get the sliding concept part. He would just run down the slide, and stop then splash on his knees in the pool. I came home and tried to explain the slipping process. He wasn’t interested in doing it that way.
Like I have said a hundred times before, Tucker follow the beat of his own drum, and doesn’t worry about others! That is great he had a great time playing, and My mom and I had a great time watching, who needs a TV when you’ve got this kind of entertainment?

He saved Pumpkin Mooses Life by sewing him up. He announced to me today that he loves to sew, and wants to make the other Pumpkins some new clothes. He also announced that he is a Rescue Hero, because he saved pumpkins life.
We all need to feel like a hero every now and again.

Last week when I was putting the finishing touches on the paint, I would touch up a wall, and Truman just didn’t understand the concept of wet paint getting everywhere.
I watched him so closely, I felt like I washed more paint off him then I was putting up on the walls. I thought I did pretty good washing him up, but that night during the tub, I found this:
A nice Avocado Color on Tru’s Elbow and his arm:


And how can your resist this handsome face:

My children are like magnets… they will be dirty, no matter how often I clean them! They are dirt Magnets.

They are still doing them….Thank goodness they have a good daddy to teach them how to be healthy.
Doing Push Ups

Doing Crunches

After Lunch Truman brought me the camera, and said, Mama, Take Picture.
I said sure Truman, say cheese and I went to take the picture, and when I did this, Truman started talking really fast, and I stopped, and I listened, he said,
“No, Mama, don’t say Cheese, Say P-Ewe” (Like a stinky diaper)
I started to laugh, and took a P-ewe picture

And Another…

And Another…

Some days I think that I should be laughing all day long with my boys….

Tucker has the Remote Control,

Truman chases the Car.

Giggle, Giggle, Laugh, Laugh, Laugh.
Funny Funny Boys.

Toph found one of his Childhood Toys at the DI at $2, we considered it to be a great bargain 🙂
Introducing Space Man Ziff and the Constructs Rocket Edition:

The crazy thing is a few days later we found another set. Toph was so ecstatic. They are now the boys latest new favorite toy.
Toph has totally enjoyed playing with the boys, and helping them build new rockets.

Yesterday we were out in our yard, when the neighbor children had a good idea…
Introducing our Choo-Choo….

First the wagon, Bungee Cord, Big Wheel, Bungee Cord, Airplane, Bungee Cord, and Big Wheel
The boys had a lot of fun until one of the bungees unhooked, and hit Tucker on the hand, then Truman fell of the back, and got dragged down the road. Tru’s Face has a little road rash.

Note to self: Don’t ever do this again, and oh yea, Put up bungee cords. UP HIGH — Out of site out of mind.

Somewhere Truman learned how to Gulp. Lately, whenever he drinks, he makes a loud Gulping noise, It is so funny to watch him.
The funniest part is sometimes he makes the gulping noise, before any liquid even enters his mouth–he makes the noise AS HE IS PUTTING the cup up to his mouth. What a nut.
