Summertime Stuff: water balloon fight

Over the summer I missed posting about a lot of the stuff we did, and last night I realized that I never posted about the World's Largest Water Balloon Fight that we went to. BYU decided they wanted to brake the record, and Farris and I thought, 'Why not?" So we got a babysitter, got our orange t-shirts and bag of water balloons and let loose! This video is from a guy who decided to film his music video during the water fight. Umm, yeah, I'm not sure who Mr. Andrews agent is, but he might need a new job...No, it was lots of fun, although his guitar will never be the same. The song is really good, so enjoy!
And, yes we broke the record by about 100 people. Go BYU!

A few things I'm working on...

Or planning on working on... or would really like to try...

Yum! I've seen them decorated as Jack O'lanterns, too.

This is one of my favorite old book crafts, how cool is that?

Can't you see an ancestor picture in one?

There's a whole bunch of ornaments on this blog, but this bird is my favorite.

All kinds of colors and shapes of bottles or vases, the kids would like to slosh

the color around, too. Hmm, maybe not Buggerooni or LittleBug.

and I'm going to make a matching dinosaur hat, too. Seth will love it!

And a few other projects...

purses, pumpkins, other hats, oh, yeah, and Felicity's Halloween costume.

We'll see how much I get done before Christmas!

No worries here about low self-esteems

Felicity was telling me the other day that she was the prettiest because Caleb, Joseph, and Seth were handsome. So Joseph leans back in his chair, crosses his ankles and says "Yeah! I'm the winner!"

Seth is TWO!

Our Binky Boy just turned two. He's done so much growing over this last year. I wish I could post some recent pictures...someday we'll get our computer fixed so it acknowledges the camera. Or cds. Or anything.

Anyway, I'm just going to jot down some of the things this sweet little guy does that makes him Seth.

He's talking, talking, talking (I had to stop in the middle of this post because he brought me a book and said "Book. Read." How could I say no?),

playing, playing, playing,

and unfortunately getting into trouble, trouble, trouble.

But what else can you ask from a little brother?

We call him Dr Jekyll some times. That's when he's sunny, smiley, snugly, giggly, and a cute little tease with a mega watt grin.

Other times we call him Mr. Hyde. That's when he bites, pinches, scratches, screams and throws tantrums to end all. He's like the little girl in the poem: When he's good, he's very very good, and when he's bad, he's horrid. He is usually very very good and his horrid moments are quickly over.

His sense of humor already makes me laugh. He'll pretend to be stuck, yelling "Mom! Stuck!" and when I go to help him, he'll grin, giggle and immediately unstick himself. He loves our cats but I'm sure they call him Mr. Hyde all the time. He plays with dinosaurs and cars and balls. Yesterday in church I could hardly get him out the door because he kept running into the gym yelling "Ball! Play Ball!" And, yeah, he knows where all the doors to the gym are. He also loves being outside, one of his favorite new words is bike, or he'll point to the door and say " Go, 'side, go 'side." One of his newest accomplishments is climbing out of play pen and he thinks it's hilarious to appear in the living room after we've put him to bed. We might have to upgrade him to the toddler bed soon.

Hmmm, I better go now, I just had to put Seth in time out because he had a horrid moment and bit Joseph. Well, hello, Mr. Hyde. We hadn't seen you yet this morning.

Happy birthday to crazy lovable little Seth.

Maybe by your next birthday we won't be biting any more, right?

Just so you're not so worried today

After Farris and the older two left this morning, Joseph turned to me and said, "What are we going to do today?"
I couldn't help saying "We're going to take over the world!"
He scrunched up his face, cocked his head to the side, thought about it, and said "Noooo."
So just in case you were worried, he's not going to take over the world. Today, anyway.
