week in review

Labor Day weekend we headed up north to see the progress of the cabin. It is coming along quickly! and is looking awesome! The builders say it will be ready in about a month. Boy they work fast! While we were getting a tour the boys decided that they would play on the waters edge.....which led to IN the water. It was all fun until someone got hurt or cold. MAN they are filthy! They were cleaning out stuff from their ears the rest of the weekend!. I immediately made them go take showers. Fishing was a must while we were there. Peter caught his first walleye. It gave a good fight but they managed to get it in the boat. He insisted that he eats it for breakfast the next day...and we did. Jamison came up empty "netted" but still was happy to be out there. He even tried the walleye again...still not his favorite. The rest of the weekend was hot tubing and flee market shopping. The boys were amazing shoppers and found some good deals on lures. The boys had their first flag football game. Bears (Peter) vs 49ers and Viking (Jamison) vs Steelers. Peter is a really good , and fast running back. He made two touchdowns! but one was really close because he kept looking down at his flags to make sure no one pulled one. Jamison knows what is going on and can see where the play is going...he just needs to be a little more aggressive in getting that flag. He will run up to the ball carrier and then slow down when he gets close...having the kid fly right past him. The key was that they have fun....and they all did! Christmas in September?? The Mothers of Multiple sale comes twice a year and to the boys it feels like Chirstmas. This year I came home with a couple games, one of which is Animalopoly- a knock off of Monopoly. It was declared the best game ever and had to be played over the course of 2 days. I also came home with a painting craft where the boys got to paint their own plate. Jamison said that I can put all of our other plates away because he is only going to use his. Final products will be posted when complete.
