Boys

The kids had another day off today. This was a planned winter break, but it seemed unnecessary since we have had so many snow days lately. Life continued as usual for a Tuesday, despite the kids being home. I had Bible Study in the morning while the kids played in the gym and Daniel and Sarah played with friends and college girls for a play date. Then Daniel went to school and the rest of us took a nap. A little backwards I know, but they were all up at 5:30 this morning when Sarah woke them up and they had been up late the night before because of scouts and no school. We just had leftovers for dinner and then the fun began. Doug and the boys were in scrapping moods. It started in the bathroom while the boys were getting their monthly buzz cut. They were a bit slap happy. After it turned into an all out fight. I even got soaked with the sprayer from the kitchen, I guess I am not neutral after all. Here are some picks from the event. As you can see Doug's weapon of choice was a towel. The boys added the back backs and shields after several sneak attacks by dad. Daniel, who was tired cause he didn't have a nap and isn't quite back to normal yet, was not happy when mommy got attacked. They all had fun in the end though and that is what counts.

The deer was back again today. Check out yesterday's post for the pictures. I added then there instead of here.

Looks like a normal night in the Thompson house! Looks like you had fun. Oh and thanks for sending the sickies here! Ethan was on the couch all night with a cough and low grade fever. Andrew stayed home with him and I took the middles to church tonight. Thank goodness for big brothers! Of course, Andrew's not complaining, he got to surf You Tube for two hours!
