A Gorgeous Fall Day

"My 3 Sons" and I ventured out today to a friends Football game and then hit two local parks. It was an absolutely gorgeous day! As evening rolled around JB was fussy so I went outside to walk with him and saw the sunset!


This was a welcome sight!
We started our Experiencing God bible study this week and when you are at home with 3 kids and one has a bug (flu or whatever it is) and you need two hands to count the number of loads of laundry you have done because of throw up and you lost count a long time ago of the diaper blowouts, it is hard to feel like you are 'experiencing God'. So, the sunset was a great reminder.
J is still having the blowouts but the throwing up seems very random. Not sure what is going on, as these are the only symptoms he has. He is a little low key but no fever, etc. I just pray that it does not make the rounds!
JB has found his hands and loves to suck on them. He is still all over the place with any kind of a 'schedule' but no one seems to mind.
B is loving AWANA this year. He received a CD with his Sparky Book and we listen to it all the time in the car. As a matter of fact, he does not even talk in the car because he wants to hear. He has learned most of the verses and has a good start on the books of the bible. Again, just amazed at his memory.
The other day we were talking about the planets and I said something about the 7 planets in our solar system. He immediately corrected me and told me there were 9 planets. Then he wanted me to name them all and it took me about 5 tries before I could get all 9, or 8 depending on the deal with Pluto.
We were also talking about the creation story recently and Noah. I walked away with a question I had never considered. Noah took at least 2 of every animal on the ark. Dinosaurs are now extinct. I had always assumed they all died in the flood, but if that is the case, then Noah did not take any dinosaurs on the ark. I will have to think/research that one a little more.
JB is screaming in the other room and J is back in the bathroom. Going to be a long night I am afraid!
