Why, why, why....words I had forgotten about until a week or so ago. JB has finally hit the 'why' stage. Why Momma, Why. Who uz dat, Momma. I love those little questions. He has also started singing. Whenever music is on in the car, you can hear him trying to match up sounds. And for the first time, he was humming last night. I loved it!!!

B's cub scout pack is selling popcorn. This is the first year he has really taken an interest in getting out there and selling. We went out this past weekend and he walked up to the doors, did all the talking and selling. He has set a goal for himself and is almost half way there and he has a few more weeks to sell. It is neat to watch him gain the confidence to take control of unknown situations. I love teaching him about making eye contact, speaking loud and clear, always saying thank you whether they buy or not, etc.

Jbird went along with us, observing. I knew it was time to head home when he started playing in some tar. Had it all over his fingers and then proceeded to wipe them on his soccer shirt - ugh.

B and Jbird are also taking an interest in their Awana books this year and initiating learning the verses. So nice when mom does not always have to remind them!

We are trying to be very deliberate in what we eat for breakfast. Seems one of the boys is having a hard time focusing in school and the teacher and I are trying to see if more protein and fish oil will help. I was buying fish oil gummies that contained 82 mg of omega 3s in 2 gummies. I checked out flaxseed - a whopping 2400 mg in 2 tablespoons. So now I try to mix up a treat of peanut butter, flaxseed, protein powder, nutella, etc and get them to eat it (I love it with hemp hearts and almonds added). JB is about the only one that really loves it, but with some tweaking of ingredients, hoping to get them all on board. I have decided I am done buying snacks....have been finding too many granola bar wrappers, candy wrappers, etc under the bathroom sinks, under beds, in closets. So, the healthy homemade things will have to do!

Off to grab the kids from school....predicting possible snow tomorrow! I love sweatshirt weather.
