Boys in Motion (2/18/11)

-
Getting a picture of both of my boys is proving to be more of a challenge as they age.


This shot isn't bad but the photographer needs to zoom.
And then the demanding lady wanted a picture of both of their funny faces.


Here's a shot of Moose's funny face...but not Squirt's...


They were both getting a little antsy...


Here's a shot of Squirt's funny face, but not Moose's...
Oh well, you can't win 'em all

I don't think you need to run, I think you'd get enough of a workout running after those two! So cute though!

Reminds me of the time my hubby tried to get a picture of my three boys. After multiple attempts, he said, "It's like trying to take pictures of monkeys!" Immediately, both the older ones started acting like monkeys. It was so funny!

This series of pictures looks exactly like most pictures I take. You can get one but not the other. But don't let that stop you - sometimes you get both and it's a priceless moment when you do!

I struggle with the same thing with our boys. I take 100 shots and 99 of them are blurry and in the clear one their eyes are closed or something. They're just always going!

Stopping by from Boys in Motion--have a good weekend!

Don't you love digital cameras. It takes me 50 shots to get one good enough to send to family :)

MOB Society: Bragging on Boys

-
Image
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

Greater (movie review)

-

Sports movies are some of my favorite ones; even better if they are underdog stories! "Greater" is just that - a true underdog story about Brandon Bulsworth who could be called the greatest walk-on in the history of college football. The movie follows Bulsworth from the time he's a kid. His mother is raising he and his brother (who is quite a bit older; old enough to be mistaken for his dad, laughably). His brother gives him a kick in the pants when Brandon claims he wants to play for the Arkansas Razorbacks. Brandon was a heavy kid so no one really thought it would happen. However, Brandon worked as hard as he could and made it. Walked on the team and caught the attention of his coach who put some amazing work into this kid to help him become better. I love when coaches look at the heart of a player more than ability. This really is an amazing story, an amazing movie - full of inspiration and encouragement. Things that seem impossible become possible. The rea

We Choose Virtues (review & giveaway!)

-

I almost think I needed this Kids Kit from We Choose Virtues almost as much as my sons. I mean, check out this list: patience, kindness, obedience, diligence, forgiving, attentive, etc. I have such problems with patience and attentive (anyone else get distracted by stuff online?)! So I know that it's important to teach these virtues to my children, too (and learn alongside them). Jesus was patient, forgiving, obedient, diligent, forgiving, attentive, self-controlled, content, etc. We are supposed to imitate Jesus and so I thought this was a good way to help me teach them how to do that. image from the WCV website Like I said, I reviewed the Kids Kit. It came with a Kids Virtue Poster (that tells all of the virtues & sayings that go along with them), one Fan Poster (your choice; a large poster that shows one virtue and saying), Virtues Clues & a clear acrylic card holder (business card sized cards with one virtue per card), "I'm a Virtue Kid" button, The
