June 12th

Posted by Picasa

June 12th fell on a Sunday, and we LOVE the weekends around here.  Once you're working, weekends take on so much more meaning.  There is always so much to do and catch up on, but we do our best to just hang out as much as we can.  We started the day off with church, and every morning the boys sit up on the counter to get their hair brushed.  After church, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches were the choice for lunch, but that seems to be the choice for lunch every weekend.  The boys were in a goofy mood today, and I was able to snap some good pictures of them goofing around.  Noah has been great from day one about potty training, and he's completely trained, except for cleaning his bottom.  Billy is giving him a lesson, and I couldn't resist taking a picture of that little butt.  I'm sure I'll hear about that one in the future!  For dinner, Billy fired up the grill.  We had steaks, corn on the cob, and grilled asparagus.  The boys don't eat many vegetables, and won't touch anything green, so Billy and I got to keep the asparagus to ourselves.  While Billy was grilling, the boys played around in the yard and watered the plants.  Noah can do a lot of things to help out and doesn't mind helping sometimes, but Asher is our big little helper.  He wants to do whatever you're doing.  If Billy is watering the plants, Asher has to water the plants too.  If I'm sweeping the floor, he has to sweep the floor too.  But don't try to help the little guy, even if it means getting himself or someone else soaking wet or making more of a mess than there was to begin with,  because you will get a chastising and a your hand will promptly be removed!  As trying as our days can be, they are the best!
