October Update


Lots going on over the past month here. Everyone is doing quite well.

Our Little Arsonist
A couple of weeks ago, Landon and Hudson were running around the house having fun chasing each other. At some point, Landon ran through his room and tripped over the electric cord for a reading lamp that was clamped over his bed. Unfortunately he had also turned the light on and it fell, landed on his bed and began smoldering through his sheets. Rick smelled something and found it face down on his bed and it had burned through his sheet and the cover of his mattress. No real harm but it was a bit of a scare.



Hudson the stickler for precision
At dinner Rick was wearing a shirt that had "2001" on it. He asked, "Was that shirt made in 2001?" Rick explained that that was the year the company had been founded in that year. Hudson replied, "And now it's 2008." Rick said that was right and asked him, "How many years are between 2001 and 2008?" Hudson thought for a while and just as Rick started feeling guilty about asking a kindergartner to do subtraction of numbers in the thousands, Hudson said, "Six!" Rick said that he was close but the correct answer was seven and counted through the years from 2001 to 2008. Hudson said, "But, Daddy you asked how many years are BETWEEN 2001 and 2008, and that's six." Touche.

Halloween
We took the boys to a Harvest Festival at a church near us. The boys had a great time. They played games, rode on bouncers, won candy, and generally had a ball.







Landon
Kathryn was bathing Landon and was scrubbing him pretty good. He suddenly said to her, "Stop it, Kathy!"






Don't they look like Brothers?
