"Building Mountains out of..."






















Well we're finally on "vacation"! We're spending the next 2 weeks in Washington, helping aunt Brooke replace her roof, deck and siding. He thought it would be some nice family time...although I'm not sure when he expected us to spend time with him. The boys and I are definately making the most of it though. Kayson has about a million questions about all the apple, cherry and peach trees. He's still trying to grasp the concept of them growing all those apples to sell, especially since they don't have a combine to harvest them.
Kayle is really struggling the past few days, because he wants to be out helping the guys. His mean old mom won't let him catch the shingles as they are throwing them off the roof. She did take the boys out in the yard to play and swing for awhile. Kayle loved the swing, and decided to build mom a mountain. Kayson also loved the swing, but he loved playing "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" even more. We bought him the movie to watch on the trip out here, and he's spent many hours telling us which turtles have which weapons, and how they use them. He's given us many demonstrations, and had us play with him.
I'm not sure where he got it, but he's also been informing us that in order to protect yourself from tigers, you have to carry a mirror with you. Apparently, when the tiger sees it's face in the mirror, it get scared and runs away. We asked him if it's happened to him, and he just laughs and says, "No, I don't live in a forest!"
