Luke is our Pumpkin Boy. And anyone that knows him, knows that Fall is his favorite season. Luke has been very reluctant to take naps for the past 3 weeks. Enter the bribe. Bob and I ran errands the other day. At Aldi's, we came across a skid of the biggest pumpkins we have ever seen in a grocery store. I had Bob pick a big, perfectly formed one to buy for Luke. Truthfully there were bigger, but Bob refused to risk a hernia getting it! His eyes popped when he walked in on Friday morning. Whose pumpkin is that? Is it real? Can I have it? The trap was set! I told him he could earn it by taking a nap. A Good Nap. He did- he napped like it was his job! He loves his pumpkin. I am scared he might name it and keep it as a pet.
Patrick stayed home sick with the kids on Thursday. Patrick napped like it was his job. Luke showed me a secret on Friday when he came over. Look! He tore off his socks and revealed 5 perfectly polished little piggies. It went well with the red circles drawn all over his face.
Ever see a princess fairy throw a fit? Look no further. Sophie was in rare form. She argued with Luke over everything, refused to share, wouldn't listen, and to cap things off- she threw herself on the ground, screaming and kicking her feet. I did the first thing that came to mind. I grabbed my camera and took her picture! A picture is worth a thousand words.
