This week I took the boys to the park while I was on the phone with a friend. I always bring a chair and watch them play. Well, THIS day, they wanted to strip down and wade through the creek. Since I didn't want to make a fuss while on the phone, I just rolled with it. They had a BLAST. Then...
I called Paul to tell him about our day and that the boys had been in the creek at White Oak Park.
Paul: "Oh no!"
Me: "What's wrong with that?"
Paul: "The county officials told me that they literally have to pull snakes out of that water to keep the park safe. They have even found WATER MOCCASINS!"
Me: "AGHHHHH!"
Paul: "If you need a good reason to keep the boys out of the creek, use that one next time. It's true and it will work."
Yep, ummmm, do you see how cloudy that water is??? I have heebie jeebies just thinking about what is lurking underneath. Eeeeeeeek!
Labor Day - Will learned how to ride a 2 WHEELER! Paul has the patience of Job. I'm so thankful he was teaching him instead of me. We decided to go on a family bike ride at the trail for Labor Day. I was pulling Wesley in the wagon/chariot.
There is a super cute hair place for kids called Pigtails and Crewcuts. I took Wesley there to get a haircut for school. He chose to sit in the airplane while he watched Madagascar 2. He got a prize a tattoo and a lollipop! Worth every penny!
WESLEY'S FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL! This is Wesley and Maddox showin' some school spirit!
Wesley's school is in the most beautiful little town. There is a town square within walking distance. I wanted to take Wesley downtown to pray with him before his first day. I had the best time with him. He prayed..."Dear God, please help me to stay on GREEN at school today so I can get a prize from the treasure box."
Getting ready to walk to school.
He got started right away on a frog picture and told me "you can leave now momma."
I can't believe I'm at the stage of life where I have 2 kids in school. It's a bittersweet feeling. However as you can tell from my attire, I was ready to work out! I hit the trail with a friend and we biked 15 miles. Whoohoo!style="visibility:visible;">

Wow. Two kids in school! It's funny b/c right now I think, "Man! I can't wait for that!"...then I think, "Oh, but I'm gonna miss this!" Bittersweet is a perfect word!
Eeeewww! I don't think I would have needed a reason to keep my kids out of a murky creek - BUT - you are so right.. the things we do to keep them from pestering us on the phone!!!
Way to be ready to workout! I want you to post all the songs you run to sometime... I'm building my playlist for the same thing. :)
I am so behind on blogs....SO THAT WAS THE CREEK?????? HILARIOUS!!!! God knew we needed to talk so the angels of the Lord were encamped around them protecting them from those horrible creatures. HA! I'm glad you posted a picture.
You biked 15 MILES!!!!!! I'm impressed.
