First day of 2nd Grade!!

Who gets to get stung?

Levi comes running in the house and says "there is a Bee outside!" Ethan and then Caleb come in right behind him and I hear Caleb saying this to Ethan..."You and Levi need to be the first to get in the house. If anyone is to get stung it should be me. That is my job as the older brother!" Ethan responds with, "Well if you are at school, then I will be the one to get stung. And if we are both at school, then mom will be the one to get stung."

"The harvest is good"

Those are the words I have been hearing from my boys the past few weeks. Everyday they go out to the garden and come back with loads of Tomatoes, a handful of Strawberries, and maybe a few Beans or Sweet Peas. Right now we have SO many Roma Tomatoes...Kevin and the boys made really good fresh Salsa and we have given lots of Tomatoes away, but there is still tons left! If you would like some, please let us know we would
love to share them with you!!

Shots...

Today the boys and I had to go to our Pediatrician's office so Ethan could get his 5 year shots before school starts. I found it quite interesting how Caleb seemed more concerned about it than Ethan. All morning Caleb kept saying he didn't want to come along, but we all made it there...as usual Caleb got carsick on the ride there and Ethan had to pee, just our typical ride! :) As we sat in the waiting room we saw all the kids get called back, until we were the last ones in there. Ethan looks at me and says "I am next" and Caleb says "can I stay in the waiting room?" Well we get called back and it was our lucky day, because we were able to get two "combo" shots, which means Ethan only had to have 2 shots, instead of 4!! The nurse was going to do it in his arm, however looked at him and said "why don't we do it in his leg". Ethan did great and Caleb helped by trying to make him laugh by saying things like "I am weirdo", etc. After it was all done and Ethan was picking out his prize, Levi says to the nurse "YOU HURT ETHAN!" The poor nurse felt so bad! And I just couldn't help but laugh, as well as smile because of all the love and concern Caleb and Levi had for Ethan!
