Just your friendly neighborhood Spiderman

Caleb went to school today dressed as Spiderman for Reading is Fun Day. He really wanted to go as the indian from Indian in the Cupboard that we read together this summer... But low and behold Goodwill just didn't have an indian costume when we ran (and I mean shopping in under 5 minutes kind of ran!) in yesterday afternoon! But Caleb was quick to remind me that he actually had read a Spiderman book at one point, so I guess this costume qualifies... ;)

This morning while we were waiting for his ride in the hospital parking lot, he got out of the car and was waving at every passing vehicle and "Spiderman-ing" all over the parking lot. :) Here are a few shots I caught:

Justus had fun playing with Daddy's Bubba teeth...

Center Stage

Caleb had his first opportunity to be in a local play at our Lake Wales Little Theatre. Finally an appropriate outlet for his (overly... did I say that out loud...) dramatic personality! ;) Sorry these pictures are grainy, they were taken with my iPhone and are really posted here for the grandparents. :)

Lessons in never say never...

Today has been another lesson in "never say never"...

I don't know how I got suckered into allowing a fork-tongued, rodent-eating, slithering, writhing, serpent live in the house with us... But somehow I was outvoted 3-1... (gee, you think it is because all of the other human's living in this house are male???) And as of today, we have a new pet SNAKE!!! Yes, you read that correctly... Caleb has named him Rocky. Each boy (especially the biggest one, aka Daddy) has been overcome with excitement tonight and totally enthralled with the newest addition to our household!

First Day of 2nd Grade :)

Caleb started Ms. Lamb's 2nd grade class this week.

He is sooo excited and loving every minute of his new school year!

In 2nd grade at Geneva they study Ancient Egypt,

and even mummify a chicken!

I LOVE to hear Caleb's enthusiasm every day

when I ask him about his day!

So glad that this year he's starting off on the right foot!

They are precious in His sight

Justus and I were pulling weeds at my friend's house and Jus said, "I Jesus".

I said, "no, you're not Jesus, but you can pray and ask Jesus if you can be like Him."

We pulled a few more weeds and Jus looked up at me and said, "Jesus say yes." :)

Gone Fishin'

My friends invited us to go to Cabela's (an outdoorsy store) and then go fishing off the dock.  The store has so many amazing stuffed real animals:  zebra, lions, tons of various deer, and even an elephant!!!  They also have a large fish tank indoors and a stocked pond outdoors - which is where we went fishing afterwards.  

 

Justus caught his first fish!

He's pretty proud of his catch!
