Mommathon

Liam asked us today if he could have a personal watercraft when he gets a little bit older.

Where did this come from? He was reading his Spanish/English dictionary in the car and I guess that was one of the words. I think our response was to say sure. There is no point in having the conversation at this point. We'll just say yes and hope he forgets, which he won't, but , again, there is no point in arguing about it right now either.

Another interesting thing he asked me recently while I was driving and he was reading in the back was if he could do marital arts. My first reaction was to see what in the world he was reading and to try and figure out what marital arts were. It turned out he wanted to do tae kwon do...martial arts....much better.

Dividing up the loot

We went to the park today and there was another boy there that was in between Liam and Colm's age. These three boys had a heyday. The height of their fun was when they discovered someone's skateboard that had been left behind and decided, in all of their wisdom, to ride it down the slide while sitting on it-two at a time. It sounds kind of dangerous, I know, but really it was fairly tame other than that they went down the slide a little bit faster. It was so much fun to watch though. They were just having SO much fun. There is nothing better than watching kids play when they are having fun. There is nothing like it.

This was supposed to be pumpkin bowling, but many of the kids found kicking the ball a much more efficient way of knocking over the pumpkins.


Making a spoooky craft

Liam had his fall concert today. This was the first concert he has had with his new teacher. He did such a great job. We were all so proud.


Getting his violin tuned before the concert.

Even Spidey likes to color.


Getting crafty at the church Halloween party.

The boys both still have parties at school, we still need to decorate our pumpkins, we have a violin Halloween party, plus a party at Sean's work (which I don't think we will make it to, but we shall see). So many parties...so little time. :)

Such a good movie-a great celebration of family. Man oh man, bring your tissues though.
