fun stuff

On Saturday (after pumpkin shopping and a quick lunch) Mike dropped Levi and I off at the craft fair in Hudsonville and then took Caleb and Logan to the park.  I just love going to something like that, and my manly man hubby just doesn't get it!  :)  Thankfully, even though he doesn't understand it, he supports it and works it out so I can go.  (He understood a little better after I asked him if he would enjoy just walking around looking at various pieces of heavy equipment...)  It was a beautiful day, and Levi were able to check out the crafts for an hour and then walk over to the park where the boys were playing.  Caleb and Logan were busy chasing a bunch of squirrels around.

In the evening after naptime, we headed to downtown Grand Rapids for the Mexican Festival.  GOOD food, and the boys had fun playing in a bouncy house.

Sunday morning we had one of those great parenting moments in church.  Caleb and Logan were doing really well in the service, but right before the sermon was going to start Caleb was just starting to get a little restless so I asked him if he wanted to go to nursery, he said he did so I started to take him out.  Well, he apparently changed his mind and right when it was nice and quiet he very loudly says, "No!  I don't want to go!"  Nice.  I just got out as quickly as possible.  Otherwise, compared to some of our other Sundays, the boys did pretty good.

Monday afternoon Caleb and Logan went to a friends house to play.  Our friends Scott & Edina have a little boy almost exactly a year older than Caleb and Logan.  We then went over there for supper in the evening - Edina's an awesome cook.  When we were about to leave I thanked Edina for having the boys over and she said "Anytime...well...maybe in a few weeks..."  Ha!  She said the boys behaved well, it's just kinda crazy keeping track of three of them!  :)  Levi and I had a nice time running some errands after we dropped Caleb and Logan off (I love going to Hobby Lobby, but can really only do it if I have one child or less with me...), and then for the rest of the afternoon I got a few things done but not much since my little stinker wasn't going to nap well.

Tuesday morning I dropped Caleb and Logan off at Grandma's for the day, and first Levi and I headed out to a photo shoot!  And, no, not me being the photographer, him being the model.  :)  A girl I know from high school owns a cloth diaper company and asked if Levi would come be a model for one of their new diapers.  She was going to have about 8 babies in all (ranging from newborn up to 2 years) and when we walked into her house it was just crying, unhappy babies - things hadn't been going so well so far.  When it was Levi's turn I got him changed and he just stole the show with his million dollar smile and big, beautiful smile.  And, I'm not just biased either!  :)  He really did do well, didn't fuss at all (didn't even spit up!), and they got what they needed with him in just a couple minutes.  Seemed like he was the turning point - from what I saw things were going better after his turn.  (The company is Smart Bottoms - check out their facebook page for some behind the scenes pics from yesterday, there is one pic of Levi.  I don't know when the actual photos will be out on stuff.)

Once we got back home I had a chance to get some work done.  I've been wanting to paint a few of our doors for a long time, and finally got around to it.  I've been debating and debating on color and finally just went with gray.  I made the wreath on the door, too.  Look at me gettin' all crafty.  :)

Yay!  Levi napped great and is just waking up now!  I actually had a chance to get some blogging done.  :)  Gotta run.
