Berry picking!

It's berry time again. But this year the boys are big enough to climb the tree, woo hoo. And the pies were awesome !

Potty training

Potty training third time around (fourth if you count Anna Lena's first failed attempt). You would think woul be easier with all our potty experience and examples running around. But no, little lady, as in many areas of her life, prove to be just the opposite of her brothers. At home she NEVER says potty except when already wet or poop on the ground. But outside the house she is AWESOME! So as in many areas of parenting i am continually humbeled, and put in my appropriate place.

Circus

The circus is in town. Sidon to be exact. We have wanted to go for weeks but because of company or excruciating disobedience we didn't go until this past Sunday. A short term prayer team came at the same time which was great. What is a circus like in Lebanon? Well, the high light for the boys were the motorcycles at the end, mine was the acrobat hanging from the ribbon. The disappointment came from the Tigers that were probably as old as te city itself. The low point was definitely the cat show, yes little house cats given treats to balance on balls. It was a great time.

Clean up

Ugh! Clean up after the storm. The storm of no rain and lots of wind and dirt.

Sand storm

A sand storm blew through the country Wednesday.  We just made it home in time for me to bring the laundry in. In hindsight I would have brought in more. It was suppose to rain the next, but it didn't and we were stuck with a mess.

Tom boy / girl

One wonders about putting a spider man costume on her daughter. But then she yells out "I need a wipe". Come to find out that Barney and baby need a change. She does enjoying saying poop, little raskle. 

After church we hit the beach
