Week 28 of 2011
I think this is the 28th week of 2011. I may be off by a bit. Our week was a normal one.
Cormac lost a tooth. It was safely placed in a cup of water, waiting for the tooth fairy. I had a big scare because Darren came home and proceeded to load the dishwasher. I didn't tell him about the tooth because I was busy doing other things. I freaked out thinking "OH NO, he dumped Cormac's tooth down the drain." Lucky for us Cormac had hid his cup and Darren didn't find it. Since then though, Cormac has not looked to see if the tooth fairy came or not.
Little girl went on her first garage sale outing. She came home with a pair of shoes that may or may not fit her in a year. They were 10 cents. Can't argue with 10 cent shoes. Its a deal in anyone's book. We also stopped by the church to light candles and have a visit to the Blessed Sacrament. It was wonderful. I think I shall do that more often.
Brech's big haul of the garage sale outing was a bike for $3. He was so excited. He has yet to ride it without someone pushing him. He was one proud boy! Each of the boys were given a dollar. Blase, Cormac, Rex and Brech spent their dollars on a movie a piece. Stephen bought a drum for .25. He said he had the best deal. He had a drum and .75 in his pocket.
Saturday I spent all day cleaning for company on Sunday. The boys were good helpers. We rewarded them with another water battle on Sunday after company left. Then they decided to run around the sprinkler. Too much fun. I have such great memories of sprinkler fun.

More Sunday Fun
After our water battle from last week, we had an enjoyable evening. The boys convinced their dad to start a fire. Of course, it being so cold (ha - in the high 80's), their dad said yes right away. Do you know what you need to start a fire??
First you need a fire pit. With the house surrounded with trees - that's a needed thing!

Heard Last Night
If you had been a fly on our kitchen wall last night you would have heard:
Stephen say "I'm sensitive to garbage cans." He was trying to explain to me why I need to dump the dustpan in the garbage for him. Oh can I relate. In fact, I bet my mom and dad are laughing right now saying that he is just like his mother!
Rex, running into the kitchen, commenting "Did I miss the staff meeting?" All I have to say is HUH??? For one I didn't know there was a meeting. And for another thing...I didn't know we had staff. I'd sure like to talk to them about their lack of help in the upkeep of this household. Maybe that is why I wasn't invited to the staff meeting??
Oh, what the kids say!!

Water Battle
Let the water fight begin...
Brech shoots Darren.
Darren shoots Stephen.
Rex shoots Stephen.
Stephen shoots Rex.
Stephen shoots Blase.
Blase shoots Stephen.
Darren shoots Blase and Stephen.
Then Darren throws 1/4 bucket of water on Blase
Darren filling up Cormac's gun. He was in the house missing all the fun.
Cormac shoots Blase.
Cormac tries to fill up his water gun but....
soaked Blase instead.
Now Cormac figured out how to fill his gun.
Its so easy to lose your shoe when you are having fun.
Blase shoots Cormac.
Then he shoots Darren.
And Darren shot him over and over again.
Then he thought about shooting me........
Here are a couple video coverages of today's sporting event.
At the beginning you will see Darren with a "full" water gun. Its actually empty, but no one knows that. Towards the end you can see the boys laughing. That's because Darren said he was done due to the fact that his underwear were wet. That's a good water fight.
Buzz, Bike, Boom, Myrtle
What do Buzz, bike, boom and Myrtle all have in common?? Nothing but a fun Saturday!
HEY MOM - DANCE!!!!
Action shot of Stephen's last handful.
Darren and Cormac went shooting in the afternoon. On their way home they spotted a baby snapping turtle. I named it Myrtle.
Myrtle on Blase's hand.
Mom can we PLEASE keep the turtle???
Please Mommy until he is [this] big??
BUT MOM, we don't have ANY pets. (What about Stephen's fish, Pete??)
Myrtle coming up for air.
