I’ve been remiss this last month for not mentioning Jude’s train obsession – which has been his primary occupation and sadly has taken a large portion of my time as well. Grandma Joan and Grandpa Bob gave him a wooden Thomas the Train –like set early last month. Each morning he wakes up and partially conscience walks into the living room and begins constructing the track around the living room, which will be my gantlet for the day. Not exaggerating, I bet he spends 4 hrs each day with his trains. We have now moved from corporal punishment to taking trains away for bad behavior – it is turning out to be extremely painful for him and much more effective for us. So yes, we are all about trains around here… and a few other things...
A day at the zoo with David, John, Mom and Grandma Beads last week.
He's going to be spider-man for halloween - i asked him what was new since he is spider-man every day (while playing trains of course)... and his costume is so well loved his dad had to be sewn back together to make a suitable costume.
He has been moving trees with grandpa tom (You think I am kidding but mom color-coded the levers so Jude is actually operating heavy machinery.)
Jarod, Jude and Jarod's parents participated in an all city model rocket launch on Saturday and they actually won $105 in gift certificates but there were sadly only 4 competitors. (Jude's is the itty-bitty rocket Grandpa Bob's is the big one)
And Lucy is getting a little more photogenic ... i think
