I have been so busy lately that I haven't even checked my email much less keep up with the blog. Sorry! We just finished a week of Vacation Bible School. I was teaching the small kids of the teachers and Gabriel was old enough to participate. He had a blast! He loved getting up on stage and dancing and singing. Other than that, I heard lots about the snack time. :)
The other excitement was learning that the wall has pipes behind it. We had a leaking waterline behind the washing machine and had a plumber come out to fix it. Gabriel put on his "Bob the Builder" tool belt and showed the plumber how he had a hammer too. :) Gabriel was thrilled to help patch the hole in the wall. He constantly asks me if we can go to Home Depot and buy some wood to do a "project;" he obviously is related to my Dad!
We also joined the summer reading program at the local library. They had a kick-off party for the kids that included button- and bookmark-making and face painting. Gabriel refused to wash his face until Daddy got home to see the doggie. :)
Last but not least, Nathaniel graduated to a "Big-boy Bed!" He had been climbing into brother's bed during the night and making brother a little unhappy. Now that he has his own big bed, bedtime is a breeze!
Gabriel is so full of energy and is always talking. He has trouble playing by himself for 2 minutes. He is a very social kid and is trying to get his brother to participate in all of his games. He likes to explain the directions of the game to everyone. He especially likes to be a fireman. I love my kiddos. :)
