Ethan's Prayer and Landon's Craziness

Are you glad we are past all the ugly Halloween decor?! I am. This picture was actually taken last year. The boys had dressed up and gone to a few friends. We didn't do anything this year. Didn't feel like it.

I wanted to share with you a funny story. :-) Ethan usually prayers at meal time and it is a very short prayer. Well, he has started praying some very long prayers. "Help us to go to sleep and wake up when it's sunny, help the lion eat the snake, help....." and so on. Well, a couple days ago, Landon was trying to be patient, but finally had enough and said in his own language, "Amen!" Ethan droned on. Landon bowed his head again and squinted his eyes, and after a moment, took a bite of food. The prayer continued until Landon again said, "Amen!" Whew! Ethan was finally done! It was a cute moment.

Landon is my mischievous one. The other day I found a huge section of books all pulled off and on the floor in a pile. He didn't even act remorseful when I corrected him. Then, I found him later sitting on the bathroom floor with all the q-tips dumped beside him - except the one that was sticking out of his ear! Grr! He loves putting stuff in his ears. We have had to use tweezers more that once...to get a rock and play-do out. Aren't kids grand?!
