A Fun Writing Assignment

Amos provided a great opportunity to give Bryce something different to write about. Bryce is in love with his cousin and wants to learn how to care for him and help babysit.  So, when he stayed with us last week, Bryce had a lesson in changing a diaper. Then he had to write a paragraph about the process of changing Amos.

Bryce starting to change his first diaper.

Changing Amos is hard. I was only able to undo the diaper. That's when he broke into crying chaos! He and his diaper were poopifried. Matthew calmed him down with the song on his bib when you gave him to us.

Amos was a good sport and was only upset because he was having his diaper changed. Bryce did a good job trying but didn't think the full load was fair on his first diaper change.

Matthew also had fun with the camera and snapped this picture of Amos.

We all love Amos's smiles

September Camping

In mid September, we spent a weekend camping with the Kspekas and Fausts. It was almost like we had no kids as the kids play so well together. But, then they also like to eat and be entertained from time to time. 

Thursday night before we headed out, Derek and I took the boys out to gather pine cones for a craft project.

On Saturday morning, we hiked to a craft activity for the kids. Going under the hi-way and playing on the concrete going up to the bridge. 

 Well what we thought was one craft activity ended up being a craft buffet. The kids had a blast as they were able to make as many things as they wanted and none of them were thrilled to leave. 

Matthew, Caroline and Caleb were the Sesame Street gang for the weekend.

Sunday morning was the return of a wonderful camping breakfast of the unhealthiest variety.

DONUTS

They were enjoyed by all and Bryce loved being able to help making them.

The weather was beautiful and the weekend was relaxing.
