Fun weekend again . . . . .

FOR BRAYDAN!! Yep, that's right. He got to go salmon fishing over in Sekiu with the Hoarkleys. He tried to convince me, "it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." (yeah right) But I told him he better catch some big salmon or he can't go again. So he did well and caught two. They also caught some octopus at night, so I have some in my fridge now (yuck!)

While he was gone, I had fun working on more projects and going to probably the last garage sales of the year. (sniff). But it was a beautiful day and there were some good ones. I got Kaleb a whole box of dinosaurs for cheap and he was so excited. I told my friend when I got home and she said to hide them till Christmas. I knew she was right, but it was still hard to do! When he came downstairs from nap he looked around and asked, "where's my dinosaurs Mom?" I said, "I don't know, where did they go?" He spent the next hour looking for them. So sad! Finally he told me, "I think I left them at the garage sales."

Someday I'll finish one of my many projects and post pictures. But for now, here's one project: getting Kaleb to sing his ABC's on camera. He wouldn't do it for a long time, but we bribed him today.

So I mentioned earlier in a post that Eliza was crawling. This is what I meant by crawling.

Still no teeth. She was pretty crazy in church today. I made the mistake of wearing earrings and the whole time she was trying to rip them out. I'm always jealous of the little babies who sit nicely in laps, happily looking around. She doesn't sit still for one second. Constantly leaning forward, grabbing the bench in front, arching her back, standing up, sitting down, jumping, ripping the hymn book pages out . .. . . . . AGHH!! It's a good thing she's so darn cute. Sometimes she's so different than Kaleb. She will not take a binky and he was obsessed with it (maybe I was obsessed). She will not cuddle, like in the cradle hold. She screams if I try that maneuver. That's how I got Kaleb to sleep many times, rocking him in my arms. With her, I just lay her down when she's tired and walk away! Nice. I probably could've done that with kaleb, but I didn't know what i was doing :)

Kaleb story: Kaleb asked me one day, "Mom, you're a girl?" I'm like, "Yeah, I'm a girl and you're a boy." But then later I explained more cause he kept asking about it. "Mom's a woman and Dad's a man, you're a boy and Eliza's a girl." He seemed to grasp it pretty good. But the next day when Braydan was putting him to bed, all of the sudden Kaleb says, "Dad, I'm a woman." Braydan's like, "What?" Kaleb said it again, "I'm a woman!" Braydan then had to explain, "No, you're not a woman, you're a man like me!"
