Lincoln had a surprise visitor during his library time at school . . . Mommy was the library volunteer! He was all smiles and super giddy, and his Mommy was loving it! The kids all returned their books and searched for new ones with so much excitement. Love that they love being in the library!
Ms. Harker (the Librarian) took the kids to the reading room to talk to them about authors, illustrators, story characters, and more. She had a few kids help out after she read them a story, and Lincoln got to talk about the main character. Ms. Harker was awesome, and she knew every single child's name in Lincoln's class - she knows every single child in the entire elementary school - how crazy is that!!!! We can't wait for the next opportunity for Mommy to volunteer in the library!
The boys have been collecting acorns for a few days, and they decided they needed to bring them inside and make a super special potion with them. What?!?! They asked for water, lemonade, apple juice, cranberry juice, and orange juice, and a stick to stir up their potion. Gross!!!! We poured our potion out in the street, thankfully. They have decided to check the acorns soaked in the potion in a few days to see if any squirrels ate them. We might have some pretty sick squirrels if they ingested all of that crazy juice mixture! Happy faces!
Thursday was a regular school day for all, and we played in the backyard after dinner. It was not too hot (88 degrees with a breeze), and we had fun with random toys and sticks. Fun stuff!
Lincoln had school on Friday, and Beau spent the day with Nana and Pops. He did some crafts, and apparently took that job seriously. Look at that face!
Beau had been practicing his band skills while Lincoln was in Kindergarten. After picking Linc up from school, Beau got in full band director mode. Lincoln played the drums (and Pops played his trumpet) while Beau conducted from the ladder. Such a bossy little guy!
A house nearby has the craziest and loudest Halloween decorations, and Lincoln wanted a picture beside Frankenstein.
We played out back again for a while before dinner, and it was fun to be in the backyard. The calm before the (rain) storm expected tonight!
After dinner at Anamia's and baths, the boys had a movie night. They watch Madagascar and squealed like crazy. It was early enough to start another movie (after they begged like crazy), so The Aristocats began. Beau didn't make it too far in the movie, but Lincoln jumped to dance to the song, "Everybody Wants to be a Cat!" Just don't wake up sleeping brother, ok!
Ten minutes later, we carried both sleeping boys to bed. It was a long and tiring and fun week, and it was time to crash. We have a long weekend ahead, thanks to Columbus Day on Monday. Bring on the fun!
