Yesterday, Carl took our boys to Wal-Mart to pick up a gift for their friends birthday party. While they were perusing the Hunting and Fishing gear, Carl was continuously telling our youngest son to stop touching things. This may sound normal to most parents, but Noah has an unexplained desire to touch, push, open and try out EVERYTHING he passes, so trying to keep Noah's hands in his pockets is a full time job.
A few moments later Carl and Nathanael hear a loud spraying sound. Startled, they both look towards Noah. Finding it too difficult to resist the urge, Noah had pushed the button on a can of OFF. And the sprayer was pointed directly towards Noah's face! Laughing hysterically, Carl and Nathanael run over to him, while Noah tries frantically to cover his face with his hands. As Carl begins to inspect his face and eyes, Noah says "Good thing my eyelids are so fast, 'cause they closed afore that stuff could get in 'em! But my face does kinda burn."

We're Home and Shoe Shopping!
We are home from the beach. We had a great time. But I am very tired! We all went non-stop for the entire week, and now I just want to crash and sleep for a couple of days. There is so much to blog about - so you will be hearing quite a bit from me for the next couple of days.
Yesterday, we went shoe shopping.
I LOVE going shoe shopping.
There is nothing quite as exhilarating as taking 3 children into a busy store and trying to find shoes that they not only like, but that they actually carry in your childs size and are within your budget. Needless to say, we were ecstatic to learn that Carlye has grown into a size 6, and her shoes are now about $10 to $15 more a pair.
Of course, shoe shopping for most people might be really difficult. Thankfully, Carl and I are blessed with truly perfect children. Since they are so perfect, they know to be thankful for any and everything that they get, so they never throw fits. Even when they are in a store and the only pair of not ugly shoes in the entire place aren't available in their size. They are just thankful to have shoes, especially since they remember all of the children that I have told them about here in America - and other countries - who don't even have shoes. It's nice to know my children listen when we talk to them, or remember where all of their old shoes have gone.
My children are also phenomenal at taking turns, and wait patiently and cheerfully while their siblings are picking out shoes and trying them on. Thankfully, it has never occurred to my children to climb the shoe shelves or ride skate boards down aisles full of people and their children. Wonderfully enough, the boys needed church shoes as well, so we were blessed enough to be able to go through the process - not once - but twice with each of our boys.
So, how was your Thursday?
