Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville

The space shuttle is this big.

Cate's ready for blast off.

I really couldn't tell you what Reed is doing. He's in one of his silly moods.

Reed and Daddy check out the big engine/burner...whatever that is.

We had a great time. The kids rode this ride that took them up and dropped them down a little at a time. They laughed the whole time.

Do you know what I dreamed about last night?

Reed: Do you know what I dreamed about last night?
Me: What?
Reed: Umm...Papaw.
Me: What did you dream?
Reed: About his pigeons. His racing pigeons were flying around. I want to stay out there all the time with the pigeons.

Play-Doh

The next time your kids are playing with play-doh and they say, "do you want a bite of my cake?" you might want to ask a few questions. I came downstairs and heard the kids devilish giggles in the kitchen. I peeked around the corner to see what's up. They were sitting on play-doh on the table smushing it with their bottoms. Cate said, "we're making cake!" Reed said, "we're making Pants Cake!"

Monte Sano State Park

Here are a couple of shots from our camping trip. More pics to come after I've had a good night's rest in my comfy bed. Can't think now...must sleep.

My little buddy.

Yesterday Reed went to school. I thought he was just fine. I picked him up at 2pm and still seemed okay. Got in line to pick up Cate and he started crying. He said, "I need to go to the doctor today." So we did. He has a bulging eardrum and possibly strep throat. Poor little guy never complained. You might think he would want to sleep in this morning. Nope. At 6:15am he comes hopping down the stairs and the first words were, "I'm ready to do my homework." Homework! He's so funny. Yesterday he drew a map so he got that out and started x-ing out the states that were far away. He would say, "Alabama is far away, Texas is far away, Mister Sippy is far away that's where Gran lives, the country where Uncle H. is a soldier is far away..." (He said the name of the country but I don't want to blog it.) Now he's putting the ABC fridge magnets in order. His brain is so active. It's fun watching him learn. I'm so thankful that I have this time with him at home.

Craft Time Again

Today's craft was King Peter and Queen Lucy from The Chronicles of Narnia. Granny and Papaw gave these movies to Cate for her birthday and the kids love them.
