In the past 3 weeks we have been going through a lot of technology. Linley Claire dropped our laptop. Several times. Banged on it. And then it quit working. Shocker I know. So, we have to get a new computer. One that is refurbished. We had several issues with it so had to get it worked on...twice. Then, one week later, John was on a work trip. I'm cleaning up the kitchen, and then I hear-WHOOSH!!! I turn around, and to my dismay Linley is standing on a chair and pouring water in different cups and it soaks the NEW computer!! Flip out mode. But, praise the Lord it ends up working fine. I was in the middle of a blog post when all this was going on.
Ethan and I went on our first bike ride together. We went a little over two miles. The first mile was great. The was back, iffy. We had to stop several times, sit underneath a tree for a few minutes, push our bikes up some hills. But, it was great fun. We get back and I'm talking to John and what does he see? Bird poop...in. my. hair. Please tell me how this happens.
We get back from running errands or something like that and our neighbors' dog comes to greet us. We really like the dog. However, he likes to make his territory. This time he marks his territory on Ethan's shoes. While he is wearing them. Seriously? That pair of shoes had to be thrown away.
Caleb has started playing soccer now. Sweetest thing. He actually will go and do it, but the last weekends' game didn't go too hot. Caleb comes to me after about 40 minutes, starts stripping off his shoes, socks, shin-guards. They were hurting him. Um, hello? You have twenty minutes left of soccer. During this time, Ethan takes a drink of Caleb's Gatorade. Apparently that was not according to Caleb's approval so while I'm trying to convince him to go finish the game Caleb literally whams Ethan on the face. Seriously? So, we didn't finish the game, and we had our own "timeout" in the van if you get my drift.
Ethan has lost another tooth. They just keep coming.
Last week, our mailbox was stolen. This apparently made a huge impact on Ethan. During Children's Church that morning he prayed for the people who did it, that they wouldn't sin anymore. Well, they were caught and here's to hoping they learned their lesson. Answered prayer there.
I went on a trip with some dear friends this weekend. It truly was amazing. We had so much fun, slept little, laughed alot, lost our voices, and ate well. We also learned so much about our Savior and training up our kids. However, while we are away for that time, at our house this happened: Caleb threw up, Ethan almost had a sympathy hurl, one shin-guard and one sock were still in the van with me in Chattanooga while there was a game here. Needless to say, it was a memorable weekend for everyone.
The boys got in their halloween costumes today. I'm cooking pancakes and what happens? I'm literally bombarded with nerf gun bullets. One whizzed by my head. Rule at the Cole house: you are NOT allowed to hit anyone in the head with a bullet.
Goodnight all.
