| I think this is Sean looking at me... |
Last night after dinner I sent the boys outside to play, so I could wash dishes. Halfway through dishes I hear a knock at the window and Cullen was showing me a toad he found. :) A little later both boys came running in the house with the toad in an old drum and (Finn) begged me to keep it. I had to laugh to myself. What a classic boy story.... and now it's my reality! At least they asked me and I didn't find that toad in the toilet like that toy octopus. That toad sure kept them busy outside... I was even able to sweep and rinse more blueberries while toad went for a swim in the water/sand table and Cullen messed with his throat moving so fast. Finally, toad escaped between some bricks on the patio.
Today I took the boys back to Lake Saint Joseph on campus. Again, they had a ball! ALL they did for 4 hours was, jump off the dock, swim to shore, run back down the dock and jumped in again..... over and over and over again! I saw cannonballs, pencil jumps, fancy mid-air spins, a few belly flops.... Cullen thinks they did it 99 times. :) Despite the snacks they ate like horses for dinner and I think I earned an early bedtime! What a good day.
Let me leave you with "Doctor Toots". I'm not sure why, but the boys think that is the funniest thing they can possibly say. Finn says it a lot, which makes Cullen erupt into uncontrollable laughter! This obviously motivates Finn to say it again... They sure keep life light and interesting!
