Wordful Wednesday: welcome home

-

This is our home for at least the next year. 
The best thing about this house...
is not the house itself but
the warm welcome we've received.

Food, help, phone calls, and more food!
I love our friends!
I have many thank you notes to write.

The worst thing about this house is this



If you ask my kids,
the stairs would rank high 
in their "likes" list of this house.

BUT the baby has finally learned
to go down backwards on the stairs.
Unfortunately, he had a bit of
an accident yesterday 
(while I wasn't home, of course).



The paint in the stairwell is textured
and it's sharp!
So when you miss the last 3 steps
your head gets scratched up.
Poor guy.

Anyway, just wanted to update you a bit on our home. 
I will give a grand "tour" when 
I get pictures hung up.

The house is so charming!

Your poor guy! I hope he is doing better. Stair accidents are not fun.

Good one, kid! :) The first of many falls down the stairs I imagine. Cedric still falls down the stairs at least once a week. Probably because he refuses to pull his pants up to where they BELONG! :)

MOB Society: Bragging on Boys

Like my friend Erin shared in her "bragging" post, I don't necessarily want to "brag" about my boys but I am overjoyed at some of their accomplishments recently! So I will share with you! Moose is doing wonderfully at school. We moved him to the afternoon classroom and his teacher said that his behavior problems that they saw in the morning have virtually disappeared. Great! Twice last week (once at school and once at Sunday School) his teachers told me that he shared with someone. What a sigh of relief that one is; sharing is so hard but to know that what I'm implementing at home is working (even the itsy bitsiest bit!) is a relief.  I've noticed that baby toys are most enjoyed by the older crowd. Moose is also reading! I got the sight word list that kindergarteners start off with from his teacher - he read them all for me this morning. I bought a Chuggington book for him on their last book order - he read it by himself after only having it read...

Big A is forever telling me to not say certain things on the road. Don't call me dear. Don't gasp or shout; I'll think there's a deer. Although these are paraphrased (and he claims he's never said the first one), these are the basis for this tale. We went to the Husker game last night. Scratch that - we worked at the Husker game last night. We helped his aunt (and her church) sell backrests as a fundraiser. Big A has done this most of last year & all of this year so far. He loves it. You sell backrests until kickoff, then you watch the game, and pick up the rests after. You're there 90 minutes before game time and for about an hour or so after the game. And you sometimes get leftover food (Runzas and hotdogs and popcorn - please fine out what a Runza is for those of you who aren't from Nebraska....it's so yummy!). Anyway...we went to the game & a few of our friends helped pick up the chairs voluntarily after so (with that help plus our amazing sp...
