bam-booooooo

Day 3 of school was a success! Both boys are doing great and are absolutely loving it!

Silly boys. I actually carried Zach's bike to school this morning when it was time to pick him up. Talk about a nice mom! (and no, it wouldn't have been easier to wheel it; that would require bending over and dragging...which wouldn't be fun anytime but especially not fun when you have a baby strapped to the front of you.) Neither of my kids are a huge fan of school food. They don't eat school lunch but have to take the breakfast (don't have to eat it though)....neither of them liked their "bagel-fuls" today. We got the menu for school lunches too....I can safely say that Jacob will never want to buy lunch at school! There's no point in making him memorize his lunch number!

We still have tadpoles.....

free tadpoles!!! I'm really ready to dump them out!

 

Emily was relaxing in the hammock while her brothers did some tadpole hunting.

 

Daniel was late getting home tonight so the boys and I enjoyed a tasty dinner without him! Why was he late? He stopped somewhere to cut bamboo. Why did he need to get bamboo? He wants to make the boys bamboo fishing poles. Why did he get a gazillion pieces of bamboo? Not only does he want our kids to have bamboo fishing poles, he wants the Nolls and the Rubinsteins kids to have bamboo fishing poles when we camp. You're welcome.

 

Anyways, after he ate dinner he took the boys out to the truck to unload the bamboo. I was in the house feeding Emily and then giving her a bath so didn't get to document the whole bamboo extravaganza. By the time the little lady and I got outside this is what we found...

 

Ringo attempting to get in the hammock with Daniel. He did eventually get in it.

Jacob was hitting dead branches on one of our trees and knocking them down...with an 8' bamboo pole.

I don't even know what Zach was doing. The bamboo is at least 3x his height. At one point he was attempting to hit the branches and then another time he was digging holes. . . with the bamboo.

 

I can only imagine what's in store for us tomorrow.
