This that and everything August...

So we have an achievement jar that the boys can put gumballs in if they exibit some sort of christian character (doing what's right no matter what you want or how you feel) during the day.  So when daddy comes home he plays the superman song and has a little ceremony for their achievements :).  I caught the tail end of it last night and I tell you what, Schafer is adorable!



Vale is one of the coolest kids I know.  He loves to wear his Steelers hat and likes to dress himself.  Prime examples below.




This little guy has got the best head of hair ever.  I thought Vale's was awesome.


The boys love to help mommy shuck corn :)


So Connor's feet are about a size and a half bigger than Vale's but Vale LOVES shoes... ergo, Vale continually steals Connor's shoes.  I can't believe this is already starting at 3 and 5... anyway, there was a dispute about shoes and people were being unkind so I told them they could each wear one of the shoes.  Connor got the left shoe and Vale got the right.  They'd have to pick another shoe to go on the other foot.  They weren't happy. 


We have this trampoline park close to our house and in the mornings they have a time when only kids under 6 can go, it's awesome!  The boys love it!


We are so blessed to have good friends here in NC with kids my kids' age. 


This picture is amazing!  Shay looks terrified and Kara, feisty as ever, looks like she's found her dinner.


I try to take some time with each of the boys as alone time and have them take me on a 'date'. :)  Vale is such a sweetheart and soaks up any alone time he can get.  


This little mischief maker is a joy but at the same time, a little ball of trouble.  He has taken to hitting his brother with hard objects to the point that they see him pick up something hard and run for cover. He thinks this is a terrific game and so it's been difficult to get him to stop.  The older two have just resorted to toughing it out and trying to commander the weapon before it's used for ill. :)  Oh the life of a mama with boys...
