The Throne!!

Scott and I have had a rather frustrating day and a half or so. To be blunt Kelsea was constipated yesterday and she didn't want to try to go to the bathroom because she said it was going to hurt. Scott decided to give her a pencil to bite down on (I was at the store) telling her it would make it easier. Well, she went and when she came out Scott asked her where the pencil was. Well, I'm sure you can guess, it was flushed. This was a full size almost brand new pencil so it was beyond us how it could even get past the curves. Well, come to find out after buying plumbing tools and taking the toilet apart sticking 25 feet of wire line down the toilet, we tipped the toilet and half the pencil falls right out. We ended up getting the whole thing out, thanks to Scott but only after several hours of fighting with this pencil and a couple trips to Home Depot!! I told Scott he has to remember she is only 4 years old and has to be specific about where to put things. Although she definitely should have known pencils do not go in the toilet!!

Like Father Like Son

This will probably only be funny to those who really know me, or knew me when I was a young child.  So, today we (Rusty, Kelsea, and I) were out treasure hunting and when we got back to the car I helped Kelsea get her boots off while Rusty began walking in the direction of our house.  I told him to come back to the car and asked him what he was doing.  He said that he wanted to walk home, alone.  I told him that he could not do that and he responded by saying that he knew the way.  I told him that I could not let him go because someone might take him.  This is where he did something which totally reminded me of myself when I was little.  He said, "me push them . . . if someone takes me, me push them into the grass."  I sat back and laughed as I proceeded to put him in his car seat to drive home.

Treasure Hunt

Last Saturday was Scott's birthday. He wanted some GPS man toy, for hiking trails. Well, as it turns out we can use it for Geocaching, which is fancy for treasure hunting. People hide these treasure boxes all over the place and register them online and you look at where they are and use the GPS thing to get the cordinates and find it. When you find the treasure you sign in the book that you were there and take a treasure and leave a treasure. At first treasure box Rusty picked a squirt gun and Kelsea picked a car,which was pretty easy to find and the second was a bit of a challenge. We had to hike through chest high grass (not on a trail) and found the treasure in a black berry bush, then hike out in the dark because we forgot how quick it gets dark during daylight savings!!

Halloween

The kids had a great halloween this year. We went to a friends church where they had games and a giant bouncer. Most of the pictures didn't come out well of the games but we do have some....

Field trip

Kelsea's school went on a fieldtrip last week to a pumpkin patch which I got to go on since Scott took her last year. We rode the bus which of course was an adventure. We went on a hay ride, Kelsea sat by her friend Trenton who she says she is going to marry. She picked a pumpkin (because we needed another one!!), they had a hay maze and she made a dirt baby. We had alot of fun.
